Hook Tonight etiquette

Hook Tonight puts you in a live feed of people who are free in the next 12 hours. It is the most direct feature on HookUs, and it works best when everyone follows a few simple rules.

Turning it on

Only turn on Hook Tonight when you are actually free tonight. Pick what you are up for: drinks, dinner, party, movie, 420 & chill, or anything. It stays on for 12 hours and switches itself off at 6am, so you never have to remember to turn it off.

Making the plan

Same-night plans die from slow replies and vague suggestions.

  • Reply within a few minutes; the feed is live and people move on
  • Suggest a specific public place and time in your first two messages
  • Confirm an hour before. A quick “still on?” saves everyone a wasted trip
  • If you cannot make it, say so as early as you can. Ghosting a same-night plan is the one thing everyone remembers

On the night

Show up on time and looking like your photos. Be honest about what you are up for and listen when they say what they are up for. If the vibe is not there, say thanks and leave kindly. If it is, see where it goes.

Questions people ask

How long does Hook Tonight stay on?

Twelve hours from when you turn it on, and it always switches off at 6am.

What should I say in a Hook Tonight message?

Be specific. Say what you are up for and suggest a public place and time. “Drinks at 9 near Kilimani?” gets a faster reply than “hey”.

Is Hook Tonight safe?

Everyone in the feed is selfie-verified. Meet in a public place, tell a friend and keep your own way home. Block and report are one tap away.
