Whisper a spot

{{ t('Only places you’d genuinely send a friend to. Independent spots only — no chains, and never your own restaurant.', '只推荐你真心会带朋友去的店。只收独立小店——不要连锁,也不要推荐自己的店。') }}

Your whisper is with our tasters.投稿已送达,正在审核

{{ t('We check every spot by hand before it goes on the map — usually within a day. Your stamp is already on it.', '每家店上线前都会人工审核,通常一天之内。你的印章已经盖在上面了。') }}

No stars. Only stamps.

The rules

  • {{ t('Independent places only. No chains, no franchises.', '只收独立小店。不要连锁,不要加盟。') }}
  • {{ t('Every spot is about one dish — the one you’d order for a friend.', '每家店只讲一道菜——你会给朋友点的那一道。') }}
  • {{ t('No ratings. A spot is only as good as the people who stamp it.', '不打分。一家店好不好,看谁给它盖了章。') }}
  • {{ t('Owners, staff and paid posts are not allowed. Everyone signs the pledge.', '店家、员工、收钱推荐一律不行,每个人都要签承诺。') }}
  • {{ t('New spots are checked by hand before they appear.', '新投稿上线前都会人工审核。') }}

Seals & postmarks

{{ t('When you stamp a spot you pick where you grew up. People from China stamp with a red seal for their province; people from the UK stamp with a postmark for their region; everyone else gets a passport stamp.', '盖章时选择你长大的地方。来自中国的人盖省份红印,来自英国的人盖地区邮戳,其他地方的人盖护照章。') }}

{{ t('Sichuan seal', '四川印') }}
{{ t('Guangdong seal', '广东印') }}
{{ t('Yorkshire postmark', '约克郡邮戳') }}
{{ t('Passport stamp', '护照章') }}

{{ t('When people from a cuisine’s home stamp it — Sichuan folk at a Sichuan place, a Yorkshireman at a chippy — it earns “hometown-approved”, and those stamps count double in rankings.', '当菜系家乡的人给它盖章——四川人给川菜馆、约克郡人给炸鱼店——它就获得“家乡人认证”,这些印章在排序中算两个。') }}

Meal tickets

{{ t('Truly great hidden places should stay a little hidden. Once a city has ' + me.threshold + ' spots, everyone sees each spot’s dish and neighbourhood, but its name and exact pin cost meal tickets to unlock. Until then, the city is open to all.', '真正的宝藏小店应该稍微藏一藏。一座城市攒满 ' + me.threshold + ' 家之后,大家能看到菜和大致街区,但店名和精确位置需要用饭票解锁。在那之前,城市对所有人开放。') }}

  • {{ t('A new passport comes with 20 starter tickets for regular spots. They last 30 days.', '新护照附送 20 张新手饭票,可解锁普通小店,30 天内有效。') }}
  • {{ t('Gems (hometown-approved or 10+ stamps) cost 20 and need tickets you’ve earned.', '宝藏级小店(家乡人认证或 10 个以上印章)需要 20 张赚来的饭票。') }}
  • {{ t('Popular spots get pricier: +5 for every 10 unlocks in a month, so small places aren’t overrun.', '热门小店会涨价:一个月内每 10 次解锁加 5 张,保护小店不被挤爆。') }}
  • {{ t('Earn 30 when your whisper goes live (60 if you’re a founder), 5 each time someone else vouches for it, 20 when it becomes hometown-approved, and 3 for stamping a spot you unlocked.', '投稿上线得 30 张(创始人 60 张),每有一个别人盖章得 5 张,获得家乡人认证再得 20 张,给解锁过的店盖章得 3 张。') }}
