ABOUT TWINHOODS

Twinhoods (twinhoods.com) is a map that shows any city in the neighbourhood names
of a city you already know. It launched with 180 cities and more than 7,000
neighbourhoods on six continents, is free to use with no ads, accounts or cookies,
and grows through Add my city, a race in which the city in the lead joins the map
at each departure. Twinhoods is made by Kerem Özcan at Space Island Ltd, a small
studio registered in England and Wales.


KEY FACTS

- Status: live at twinhoods.com since 20 October 2026, in English.
- 180 cities in 78 countries at launch; more than 7,000 neighbourhoods (about 25 to
  75 per city).
- Each neighbourhood has 17 traits scored 0–100 (nightlife, creative, upscale,
  historic, waterside, LGBTQ+ and more) plus how central it is. Profiles are
  researched with AI help (Anthropic's Claude), validated and checked against
  OpenStreetMap.
- The whole map is matched at once: each name from your city is used once, and every
  pair gets a "% same vibe" score.
- Free. No ads, no accounts, no cookies, no third-party trackers. Runs in any browser.
- Add my city: anyone can put $5 to $250 towards a city that isn't on the map yet,
  paid straight away in their own currency. At each departure the city in the lead
  joins the map; departures come more often as the race gets busier, and the next
  one is always on the board. $250 puts a city straight onto the map. If a city
  hasn't won within 60 days, everyone who pledged for it gets a full refund,
  automatically. A pledge is a pre-order for adding the city, not a donation.
- Made by Kerem Özcan, Space Island Ltd (company no. 17270833, England and Wales).
