Places I've Been
PIB is the location check-in app that turns real-world exploration into a game. Collect places, earn XP, and build a digital passport of everywhere you've been.
What is PIB?
PIB (Places I've Been) is a free mobile app for iOS and web that gamifies real-world exploration. When you physically visit a location — a bar, restaurant, national park, stadium, or landmark — you check in using GPS verification. Every check-in earns XP, adds a collectible stamp to your digital passport, and contributes to collection challenges.
Think of it like Pokémon Go, but instead of catching virtual creatures, you're collecting the real places that make up your life. Your passport becomes a living record of everywhere you've ever been.
How PIB Works
Open PIB at a place you visit
Walk into a bar, arrive at a national park, step onto a stadium concourse — PIB shows nearby places on a live map.
Tap Check In
PIB uses GPS to verify you're physically at the location. No cheating, no spoofing. You have to actually be there.
Earn XP and collect a stamp
Every place has a rarity tier — Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, or Legendary. Rarer places award more XP. The stamp is added to your passport permanently.
Build your passport
Your passport is a full history of everywhere you've checked in. Scroll back through years of places, complete collection challenges, and level up.

PIB organizes places into curated collections — themed challenges you can work through at your own pace. Current collections include:
