THE NEWCOMER’S SIDE OF SATURDAY
You moved here.
Now live a little.
Moving to Minnesota? New keys. A new route home. A Saturday with nothing penciled in. Leave a little room for something besides unpacking.
Whiff brings four adults together for six planned activities over twelve weeks in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota. Same circle, a different reason to get out the door.
First circles forming in Minneapolis and Saint Paul.
AN IMAGINED SATURDAY
01 / 03
The boxes can wait.
You’ve learned the route home. Saturday is still wide open.

THE PART WHIFF TAKES CARE OF
One hello.
Then a few more.
Answer a few questions about your interests and availability. Whiff puts a compatible circle together and plans the activities. You don’t have to build a social calendar from scratch.
- 04
The same adults
Small enough for a proper conversation.
- 06
Plans to share
Something to do while the ice breaks.
- 12
Weeks to return
Enough time for “again?” to mean something.
Platonic. For adults 21+. No swiping.
WHY THE SAME PEOPLE?
Friendship needs
time together.
Researcher Jeffrey A. Hall studied how shared time relates to friendship. His findings give us a reason to care about the next meeting, not just the introduction. They don’t establish a universal timeline, prove Whiff works, or promise that six outings make close friends. Our part is to make showing up again easier.
A FEW TWIN CITIES POSSIBILITIES
A whole city beyond the route home.
A lap around Como Lake. Coffee along Grand Avenue. An evening spent taking a board game far too seriously. Small plans can change the shape of a week.
OUTSIDEThe Chain of Lakes, at conversation speed.
AROUND THE CORNERNeighborhood coffee in Northeast.
ACROSS THE TABLEA game night. A little friendly competition.
A few possibilities. Each circle’s plans will vary.
A LITTLE LOCAL KNOW-HOW

A FEW THINGS BEFORE YOU GO
Still unpacking the idea?
Do I have to know anyone already?
No. That’s the idea. Whiff brings a small circle together around interests and availability. Newcomers and longtime locals are welcome, and Whiff takes care of the plans.
Is this a dating thing?
No. This is about platonic friendship for adults 21 and older.
When can I start?
Our first circles are forming in Minneapolis and Saint Paul. The App Store and Google Play links are coming soon. Downloads aren’t available here yet, and we can’t promise a start date or an immediate match.
What does it cost?
Membership is $19.99/month after a trial of 7 days; activity costs are separate. If you can keep the four of you together for all six, the sixth one is on us. Read the details.
