Pokemon Go Campfire

Pokemon Go Campfire

Niantic have introduced a new social app called Campfire that allows players of their games to connect, discover new in-game activities, and much more!

This page acts as a comprehensive breakdown of the new Campfire social app and how it is applicable to Pokemon Go.

What is Campfire?

Campfire is a new social app that helps Niantic Explorers discover new people, places and experiences around them. Whenever you open Campfire, you’ll see a dynamic map of your surrounding area, complete with game experiences and activities from friends and other players dropped in specific locations nearby.

Some of the key features of Campfire include:

• Nearby Communities
  • Use this feature to easily find other players in your local area. Open the discover page in your Communities tab to join new communities, meet players, and coordinate events.
• Niantic Friends
  • Add and manage your friends across all Niantic titles.
• Direct & Group Messaging
  • Organize all your chats with friends in one place. With Direct and Group messaging you can instantly share gyms/raids, drop your live location, post photos, and chat with your friends across any Niantic game.
• Real-World Activities
  • Scroll around the map to discover and share content, share Community events, invite your friends to play alongside you, and coordinate at any Gym or Raid.

Pokemon Go-Specific Campfire Uses

In Pokémon GO, Trainers can share Raid locations with friends in a direct message – or group chat – making it easy to get a team together quickly and efficiently. Or if you’re playing on your own, you can tap a specific place on the map and you’ll see the option to add a Flare to that location. Flares act as a call to action to all nearby players, which can help you find other Trainers to partake in a particular activity with you!
