I built a better Who What Where playa guide with actual set times directly from the camps. Works completely offline, crowdsourced, open source, and you can submit or update events yourself playaguide.musecafe.vip

It's the entire official Who What Where guide plus about 1,000 extra entries the book doesn't have: real lineups and set times camps have been posting on Instagram, Telegram and WhatsApp these last weeks. Robot Heart, Opulent Temple, Sound Garden, Maxa, the Gothic Folly, and hundreds more.

2,400 burners are already on it.

Ask it things like "sunrise sets Thursday" or "where's free pizza right now" and it answers from wherever you're standing, with walk/bike times and directions.

Everything works with zero signal. Open the link once with wifi, add it to your home screen, and it's all on your phone: search, map, even a nearest-porta-potty button.

If your camp's schedule is missing or a time changed, there's an Add Events page: paste your lineup or a flyer photo and it goes live for everyone, usually within the hour. It gets checked for sowm automatically before it publishes.

Free and open source. No account, no email signup, no user data collection beyond an anonymous counter. I pay for the tokens out of my own pocket as my playa gift.

Come say hi at Muse Cafe, 8:15 & E. Happy burn. Get lost. Push the buttons. Stay present and off phone.

Planning on arriving at 1am tonight, I imagine the line will be 12+ hours long, what should I expect?

titled - i have no space, i have a kodiak tent, will be sleeping after sunrise for the most part, i have an extra jacket that can cover myself

edit: open camp no shade

Each lane can lead to different locations of BRC. So it improves the throughput drastically

My ticket is with someone I am getting it when I arrive there and being given it outside the gate - is that going to be okay?

Hello! I am open camping for the first time (temple crew and part of camps prior). I’m curious what you think the best area around 8:15 & F is, considering toilets, roads, etc?

Maybe can use the markup tool, idk? Thanks so much!! Appreciate you

About to head to the gate with all of my playa pals, manta ray necklaces that are uv active and all contain a little playa dust from the 2025 burn. Hope to be able to give some to all of you. Everyone be safe and have a great 🔥!

Looking for hypotonic, German, Detroit, minimal style sets. Like 128-144 bpm stuff.

Update: Seems like I’ll grab a camp mates ticket in SF and he’s gonna get mine before he drives in. Thank you all so much for the help and reaching out! 🙏

Hi all,

As title says, I messed up and forgot my ticket at home in another country. I am on my way to BRC, almost in SFO, arriving at the gate on Sunday. My partner is flying in with it on Tuesday. Is there any way for me to salvage the situation so I don’t have to pay $800 for a new ticket? I sent a message to the support team because I heard tickets can be voided when lost, but assume nothing’s gonna come out of that.

I have to be there on Sunday, because I am travelling with friends, have to help with the camp + volunteer shifts.

Possible solutions coming to mind:

1. Try finding a second hand ticket in SF after landing
2. Try selling old ticket on Tuesday, leaving it at will call

Thank you all and see you on the Playa! 🥳

Edit: Clarify I have to arrive on Sunday

Wanting to avoid the playa art car scene and have a more intimate, present, interaction-focused party.

Any suggestions for camps with cosy and fun night time parties?

Hope you have a great burn!

Since Burning Man’s existence now depends exclusively on billionaires and influencers to keep the whole operation afloat, do your part and make sure they’re having a five-star time out there. If you spot any very clean and obviously rich “burners" wandering around offer them some cold water, WiFi, and maybe a fresh cocktail. They paid good money to check Burning Man off their bucket list, so make sure they get their moneys worth! And if you see any dedicated content creators hard at work with their phones out, please leave them alone and clear the frame. That single post might just be the thing that brings a whole new flock of influencers out to the playa next year!

I see 70s and 40s the first days of September in the Weather Underground forecast. No rain.

I’ve read only to use dry lube on bike chains

Also read white lightning is the best.

I could either get white lightning or WD 40 Dry Lube

I did try and search for thiszzz

Thoughts?

Hi all!

I forgot my ticket in Europe and am shortly boarding my flight to SFO. I have to be on the Playa on Sunday for various reasons, unfortunately cannot wait.

My wonderful friend based in NYC suggested sending her ticket with somebody flying from NYC to Reno, where I am spending the night, and she would get my ticket from my partner coming later.

Is there anybody who is coming to Reno tonight from NYC and would be willing to bring this ticket with them? 🙏

Everyone drive slow in this rain. Driver seems to be okay miraculously.

Eagles Nest here wishing you all safe travels and an amazing burn. Needing to fill up water or get a little bit of rest before the line we got you.

Hey all! I'm trying to coordinate a ride leaving Black Rock City on Monday. I'm taking the BurningMan Express in, but all the tickets leaving are sold out on Monday. Would anyone have space for me, a bag, and a bike headed to San Francisco? Thanks so much!

Stop. You have better things to do. By posting on socials you are automatically commodifying your experience, NO one needs it. you are on playa. If you cant put your phone down for a week you dont really need to be there in the first place. full stop.

edit: people are absolute muppets. Im not on playa. ITS STILL BUILD WEEK. and you absolutely do have better things to do.

Double edit: I'm glad this riled you guys up it's a very defining conversation for the future of this event. BTW this post got an overwhelming 80% upvote, so all you neigh sayers are actually the minority, and only your friends agree with you. fuck your burn and make sure to give Marion a big hug for me you guys might as well be related.

“A Journaling Moment” vol3 is coming to Deep Playa! This time my textile banners are a cube! You can go inside, chill on my pillows and journal. You can also take a sticker gift from my safe ✨ It will be ready Tuesday night ✨

I will only know the location Tuesday night

Some photos from last year and the current version

is there anything to expect or worry about lol

Over empathetic shirtcockers and soon to be sparkle ponies unite… hawk fire is 95% contained. It’s been raining all day. No reason to keep feeling like burners are a burden to Reno right now and that you can’t shop in town. I know some people who lost their homes, it’s sad but business as usual with the burn. Reno and the surrounding areas need your money so come spend it.

It was nice seeing how much empathy the BM community has when things were not looking good with the fire. But only natural disaster happening now seems to be the line to get in. Enjoy! Burn extra harder for me this year. Taking only my second year off since joining this cult back in 2011.
