BooRoute
Zero organizing. Seriously.
Draw it.
Type your neighborhood, drag the edges, done. Your streets are on the map.
Share it.
One link in the neighborhood group chat. Neighbors add their homes, you wave them in with one tap.
Haunt it.
At sundown on the 31st the map goes live. Pumpkins light up, buckets fill up, and nobody rings a dark doorbell.
No guessing. No empty bowls. No locked doors.
Live candy status: Homes flip their status as the night goes on: Fully stocked · Running low · Ghosted · Lights out. The map updates for everyone in seconds. Translation: no more knocking on the house that ran dry at 6:15.
A little Halloween magic: Every door gets a checkmark. Every checkmark fills the bucket. Friendly ghosts drift across the map. It's a route, a game and a bribe for tired legs, all in one.
Every home. Every kid. Nobody left out.
Whatever your neighborhood looks like, BooRoute maps it. Whatever your kids need, BooRoute finds their doors.
Houses and cul-de-sacs
Every participating home gets a pumpkin on the map. Plan the loop, skip the dark porches, finish before the sugar crash.
Apartment buildings
Each building lists every participating family floor by floor, top floor first, with door codes and entry notes. Elevator up, candy down.
Allergy-friendly treats
1 in 13 kids has a food allergy. Filter for non-food treats, nut-free homes and more, so every kid comes home with a full bucket.
Step-free and wheelchair-friendly
Homes can mark a step-free entrance. Wheelchairs, strollers and tired little legs all get a route that works.
It started as one neighborhood's map.
Then the neighborhood next door wanted one. Then the one after that. Turns out every street has the same Halloween problem, and the same neighbors just waiting for someone to turn on the porch light.
"A crazy project: a month of work, endless spreadsheets, an overflowing WhatsApp group, millions of messages and, honestly, one huge mess. … Most of all, it takes all the go-between off my plate. Sign up on the app, get the map on the app, say you're out of candy on the app, print a door sign on the app. Pure joy!"
"Last year we did trick-or-treat in the neighborhood and it was a huge success! … But there was one small problem: the map didn't update in real time. Homes ran out of candy or the little ones had already gone to bed, and visitors kept knocking. … And all of it without endless forms or spreadsheets, and everyone knows who has already closed up for the night. Last night we shared the link, and 63 kids and more than 20 host homes have already signed up!"
"You don't know how much I love your app. It finally let me make my daughter's dream come true. Without the app, I don't think our neighborhood would have taken part."
Spooky, not sketchy.
Your neighbors, nobody else: An organizer approves every family before they see a single pin.
Locked until showtime: The map stays dark until Halloween and opens at the hour you pick.
Your door stays anonymous: Phone numbers stay with organizers. Entrance signs carry no names and no addresses.
GDPR-grade privacy: We never sell your data. Families' details are deleted 30 days after the event.

Questions, answered
Is it really free?
Yes. Halloween 2026 is on us. No card, no trial, no surprise bill in November.
Do families need to download an app?
Nope. If your phone opens a website, it opens BooRoute. Tap the link, sign in with Google or email, go get candy.
If we're all out trick-or-treating, who hands out candy at home?
Families mix and match: • Take turns: one adult stays home for the first hour, then you swap. Any adult in the family can update your status from their own phone. • A bowl by the door with a "1–2 each, please" sign. • A grandparent, older sibling or neighbor who's staying in. • Go out early: if your neighborhood has an early start for little ones, walk with them first and come back to hand out. • Everyone's out? Tap "Lights out": your home turns gray on the map and nobody knocks. Back home, tap "Has candy".
We live in houses, not apartments. Is BooRoute for us?
Absolutely. Houses, townhouses, cul-de-sacs, apartment buildings, mixed streets. If it's on the map, BooRoute can map it.
Can kids with food allergies use it?
Yes. Homes mark allergy-friendly and non-food treats, and families filter the map to find them.
Is it wheelchair-friendly and accessible?
Yes. Homes can mark a step-free entrance, and families filter the map for a route that works for wheelchairs and strollers.
How is it different from Nextdoor's Treat Map?
No app, no address verification, no social network to join. Your organizer runs a private map just for your neighborhood, with live candy status, apartment floors and step-free filters.
Who can see the map?
Only the families you approve, and only once the map opens on Halloween. Organizers keep the keys the whole time.
Does it work in my country?
Pretty much anywhere. Our maps come from OpenStreetMap, which covers the planet, and BooRoute speaks English, Spanish, German, French, Dutch and Hebrew.
How long does setup take?
Less time than carving a lopsided pumpkin. Five minutes: find your area, outline the streets, set the time, preview.
What happens to the data after Halloween?
Organizers can remove any family anytime, everything is protected under GDPR, and we never sell data. Any sponsor is clearly marked.
Halloween is in {X} days. Your map takes 5 minutes. So easy it's scary 👻
Set it up tonight, share it tomorrow, trick-or-treat smarter on the 31st.
Start before the candy runs out
