How to join an event on Movvent, step by step
From installing the app to coins in your wallet: every step as the app actually works, including what happens when an event is full or a check-in is not accepted.
1. Create your account
Install the Movvent app, tap “Get started” and enter your Kuwaiti mobile number (+965). We text you a 6-digit code, and an iPhone fills it in from Messages. Then add your name, choose a password of at least 8 characters (an iPhone can suggest a strong one and save it for you), and pick the app language.
After that you sign in with your number and password, and “Send me a code instead” is always one tap away.
2. Pick an event
The app’s home screen shows upcoming events, each with the organisation running it, its date and time, its place on the map and the places left. Filter by location or by what is open to join, and read the full details before you decide.
Some events are invitation-only; they open from the invite link the organiser shares with you.
3. Join, or wait on the waitlist
Tap “Join event”. If every place is taken the button reads “Join waitlist”; when a place frees up you move into it automatically, in order, and the app lets you know.
You can leave any time before you check in, and your place goes to the first person waiting.
4. Check in on the day
Check-in opens 30 minutes before the start, or as soon as the organiser starts the event, and stays open until 30 minutes after the end.
You need to be there: inside the area the organiser set around the place, with up to 50 metres allowed for GPS accuracy. Then take a selfie with the app’s own camera; you cannot pick a photo from your library. A person reviews every check-in.
5. The organiser confirms your attendance
One of the event’s organisers reviews your check-in, and a person always makes that decision. The reviewer sees how far you were from the place, not your exact location, and your selfie stays private and is never posted. Details are in the privacy notice.
Once it is confirmed, coins come your way and the app lets you know. Use them in the Market, on products from partner organisations.
If a check-in is not accepted
If the app says you are too far away, move closer to the place and try again. If check-in is not open yet, wait for it to open or contact the organiser. If your attendance is not confirmed, the app says so and shows what you can do next.
Taking part by video
Some initiatives are done by video, in your own time. Record a short video in the app or upload one from your phone, and it carries the initiative’s filter. The Movvent team and the organiser review it; once it is approved it shows on the initiative’s page with your name and coins come your way. Share it to TikTok, Instagram or Snapchat for more.
