What is Purgatory on cruush?
Written by Julien, lead developer of cruush.
What is Purgatory?
Purgatory is for members whose phone is outside the area where the cruusher's Map is open. Members inside it are cruushers. The app says it plainly: you can still post, message and connect on cruush.
Where is the map open?
The cruusher's Map is open within about 100 miles of New York City and in 23 US states and Washington, DC. Philadelphia is inside it.
What does a Purgatory member see?
- A Purgatory map: a red and black copy of the 50 miles around New York City.
- You are dropped at a random spot on land, and you see other Purgatory members there.
- Your real location is not shown on it.
- Spots and Map Controls still work.
What still works?
Confessional, Covens, Messages, cruushes and Profile all work from anywhere. Existing chats stay.
What does not work?
- Opening a member's map location from their profile.
- Parties.
What are the labels?
People in the service area read to you as Among cruushers when their location is approximate, or as their town if they share more. You read to them as Far far away, or as your town if you share more. A badge marks Purgatory members on profiles and pins.
How do you get out?
Move into the open area, or use the Mile High Club to put a pin there. cruush emails you when you enter Purgatory.
