Anonymous friends and group rooms that fade.

Group rooms for your neighborhood

Every neighborhood has a live group room for signed-in members. Posts there fade on a timer, after about 8 hours at night or 48 hours during the day, so the room always feels like right now instead of an archive.

The Everywhere room

Not in Chicago, or want a bigger crowd? The Everywhere room at joinhaze.com/global is one anonymous group chat for people from every city and neighborhood.

Topics work like interest groups

Tag a whisper #420, #wake-and-bake, #fwb, #after-dark, #tonight or #confessions and it lands in front of people looking for the same thing. It is the fastest way to find smoke buddies, night owls or people who just want to talk. Haze does not have private or invite-only groups today; every room is open to members.

From group chat to a private friend

See someone you click with? DM them straight from their post and stay anonymous. A photo, then a name, unlock only when both of you agree, and a DM closes 48 hours after the last message unless you keep talking.

Staying safe with strangers

Location is rounded to about a kilometer and photo location data is stripped. Posts with phone numbers or contact details are blocked, blocking someone wipes the conversation on both sides, and reports go to a live moderation queue. Haze is 21+ only, with no selling and no paid sex.
