FAQ
THE STUFF EVERYONE ASKS — PLUS A FEW NEW ONES.
WHO RUNS FULLERTON GO!?
Our leads are recognized Pokémon GO Community Ambassadors, supported by volunteer organizers. Day to day, though, the community runs on everyone who shows up.
IS THIS FREE? DO I NEED TO SIGN UP?
Yes—Fullerton GO! events are completely free. To RSVP and check in for events, please join the Fullerton GO! Campfire group, which is currently our main place for event communication. Download Campfire and Join Fullerton GO!
I'M A NEW / RETURNING PLAYER. WILL I FIT IN?
Yes! A big chunk of our community came back during recent events. We'll help with raid counters, friend codes, and where the good stops are.
ARE KIDS WELCOME?
Absolutely — all-ages, family-friendly. Minors should come with a parent or guardian, and events stick to public parks and Downtown.
HOW DO REMOTE RAIDS WORK WITH THE GROUP?
Since our events are mostly played in person, we rarely organize remote raids. If someone in the group has already added you as a friend, they may be able to invite you when they’re raiding. You can also use Pokémon GO’s “At a Raid” feature to join trainers who are currently battling at the same raid.
ARE YOU AFFILIATED WITH SCOPELY EXPLORE OR POKÉMON?
Our leads take part in the official Community Ambassador program, but Fullerton GO! itself is an independent, fan-run group — not owned, operated, or sponsored by Niantic or The Pokémon Company. See the footer for the full disclaimer.
HOW CAN I HELP SUPPORT THE GROUP OR FUND GIVEAWAYS?
While all our events are 100% free, we love it when trainers want to chip in! Community contributions go directly toward funding giveaway prizes, local perks, and keeping our meetups awesome. If you'd like to help out, you can drop by the Support Us page at the bottom of the page!
WHAT IS CAMPFIRE AND HOW DO I USE IT?
Campfire is Niantic's official community app for Pokémon GO. It's where we post meetups, RSVPs, and event chat. Download it, search for Fullerton GO!, and join our group to stay in the loop.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO A MEETUP?
Just your phone, a portable charger if you have one, and good vibes. Some events are outdoors, so water and comfortable shoes help too.
HOW DO I FIND OUT ABOUT LAST-MINUTE MEETUPS OR CHANGES?
We post all last-minute meetup details, schedule changes, and updates in our Campfire group. Download and Join Fullerton GO!
CAN I VOLUNTEER OR HELP RUN EVENTS?
Yes! We'd love extra hands. Reach out through our Support Us page or DM us on Instagram.
HOW DO LOCAL PERKS WORK?
Local businesses can connect with us to offer member perks in exchange for community visibility. Head to our Partners page or send us a message to get started.
IS THERE AN AGE REQUIREMENT?
Nope. All ages are welcome. We have families, kids, teens, and adults all playing together. Just keep it friendly and respectful.
