Prototype: students shown here are examples
Student prototype. Made for a university course. Sign-ups are saved and read by hand by the team. Group matching is still simulated: no real people are matched yet.

Nobody walks home alone.

Tell us which event you're at, which Kreis you live in and when you want to leave. We match you with two to four approved students heading the same way.

    Example events for the prototype. Real listings replace these before launch.

    How it works

    Four steps from the dance floor to your front door.

    1. Sign up with your university email

      Use an address from ETH, UZH, ZHAW or another Zürich university. The team reviews sign-ups by hand. In this prototype matching itself is still simulated.

    2. Choose event, Kreis and time

      Pick where you are tonight, the district you are going home to and when you want to leave.

    3. Meet your group

      When two to four people line up, you see their first names. Confirm, agree a meeting point, then travel together.

    4. Tap “I got home”

      Check in when you arrive, rate the trip and report anything that felt wrong.

    Why not just walk, take a taxi or use a group chat?

    You can still do all of those. Never Go Home Alone adds the one thing they lack: other students from your Kreis who leave the same event at the same time.

    Walking or riding alone

    The catchNobody expects you at a set time and nobody knows you arrived.

    What we addA small group, and an “I got home” check-in that tells them you are safe.

    Taxi or ride-hailing

    The catchYou carry the whole fare, and the ride is still just you.

    What we addPeople heading to your Kreis. If the group wants a ride, you can agree to share it.

    A WhatsApp group

    The catchIt only works with people you already know, and everyone has to answer in time.

    What we addMatching by event, Kreis and leaving time, between students with approved accounts.

    Night bus or last tram

    The catchIt runs on a fixed timetable, and the last stretch is up to you.

    What we addCompany for that stretch. Check zvv.ch for times: we do not replace public transport.

    One night, step by step

    A made-up example. Sofia is a fictional student, not a real user.

    1. Sofia picks her nightShe lives in Kreis 4 and is going to Grundton at Hive on Saturday. She chooses Kreis 4 and slides her leaving time to 04:00.
    2. We look for a matchTwo other approved students from Kreis 4 want to leave Hive between 03:45 and 04:15. That is inside the 30-minute window.
    3. A group of three formsSofia sees their first names, Kreis and leaving time under My trips, and confirms.
    4. They go home togetherThey meet at the main exit and travel as a group. When each person arrives, they tap “I got home”.

    If nobody matches yet, Sofia stays on the waiting list and the group can form later. In an emergency call 117, 144 or 112.

    Safety and privacy

    What the platform does today, and what it does not do yet.

    Built in

    • We store your Kreis, never your street address.
    • Only students with a university email, approved by hand, get matched.
    • Groups have two to four people from the same Kreis and event.
    • You see first names only.
    • "I got home" check-in, ratings and reports after every trip.
    • Three open reports pause an account until it is reviewed.

    Not built yet

    • No in-app chat. Agree the meeting point at the event.
    • No live location sharing.
    • No ID check beyond the university email and manual approval.

    Meeting tips

    • Meet at a busy, well-lit spot such as the exit or the nearest tram stop.
    • Tell a friend who you are travelling with.
    • If something feels off, leave the group and report it.

    Before, during and after

    Before

    Tell a friend

    Share who you are travelling with and when you expect to be home.

    At the event

    Set a leaving time

    Choose a realistic time. Groups form faster when your time is flexible.

    Meeting

    Pick a busy, lit spot

    The main exit or the nearest tram stop works better than a side street.

    On the way

    Stay together

    Stick with your group until the last person has reached their stop.

    Arriving

    Tap “I got home”

    It tells your group you are safe and lets you rate the trip.

    If something is wrong

    Leave and report

    Leave the group, report from My trips. In an emergency call 117 or 112.

    Questions, answered

    Straight answers about matching, privacy and safety.

    Who can use Never Go Home Alone?

    Students at Zürich universities with a university email address. The team reviews sign-ups by hand. In this prototype matching itself is still simulated.

    Do you store my address?

    No. We never ask for your street address. We store your first name, your university email address and your Zürich district (Kreis 1 to 12). Only the team can read them.

    How does matching work?

    You pick an event, your Kreis and a leaving time. We group two to four approved students who chose the same event and the same Kreis and want to leave within 30 minutes of each other. Until a group is found, your request stays on the waiting list.

    What if I feel unsafe during a trip?

    Leave the group, report the person from My trips and, in an emergency, call 117 for the police, 144 for an ambulance or 112 for the European emergency number.

    Is there a chat or live location sharing?

    Not yet. Agree on a meeting point at the event, and tap “I got home” to check in when you arrive.

    How do I delete my data?

    Open My trips and choose Delete my data to remove what is stored in your browser. To delete your sign-up from our database, write to ladamx13@gmail.com.

    Does it cost anything?

    The prototype is free to use.

    Made by students, for students

    We are Ladamx, a student team in Zürich. A night out should not end with a lonely walk to the tram. You only need someone heading the same way at the same time, and that is what we help you find.

    • What we do: match you with two to four students from your Kreis who leave the same event within 30 minutes of you.
    • What we do not do: we are not an emergency service and we do not track your location.
    • Where we are: a student project in its first version. Students shown here are examples. Events come from the clubs' own pages and can change, so check the organiser before you go.
    Three students, one way home.

    Questions, event organisers who want to be listed, or a request about your data: write to us. This is a student project, so replies can take a few days.

    Email the team

    Terms of use

    What this is. Never Go Home Alone is a student prototype made for a university course (Ladamx, Zürich). It is not a company, not an official service of any university and not an emergency service. In an emergency call 117 (police), 144 (ambulance) or 112.

    Prototype. Your sign-up is saved on our servers and read by the team. Group matching is still simulated in your browser. No real people are matched automatically, and nothing on this site promises that someone will travel with you.

    Who may use it. Students of Zürich universities who are 18 or older.

    Access levels. After you log in, an approved member has full access and a member who is still waiting for approval can only use the simulated demo. Approval is decided by hand by the team and can be withdrawn at any time. It does not verify your identity.

    Your safety. Meeting people you do not know involves risk. You decide for yourself whether to meet or travel with anyone. Meet in a busy, well-lit place, tell a friend, and leave if you feel uncomfortable. We do not check identities beyond the university email domain and we do not track your location.

    Conduct. No harassment, threats, discrimination or false information. Accounts that break these rules can be paused or removed.

    Liability. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for events, delays, cancellations, the behaviour of other users or inaccurate event information. Nothing here excludes liability for intent or gross negligence, or any liability that cannot be excluded by law.

    Events and third parties. Event details come from the organisers' own pages and may change. Names and logos belong to their owners. We are not affiliated with the clubs or organisers.

    Changes and applicable law. We may change or stop this prototype at any time. Swiss law applies. The courts of Zürich are competent, unless mandatory consumer law provides otherwise.

    Privacy notice

    This site is meant for people aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. We make no decisions about you by automated means.

    Visiting this site

    • Hosting: the site is hosted by Wix.com Ltd. (Israel) and its group companies. When you open a page, the host receives technical data such as your IP address, browser type and the time of the request, so that the page can be delivered and kept secure.
    • Fonts: the site loads its fonts from Google Fonts (Google). Your browser therefore sends your IP address to Google when the page loads. We are working on hosting the fonts ourselves.
    • Your browser's storage: we store your analytics choice and your simulated trips in your own browser (local storage). This data does not leave your device and you can delete it by clearing this site's data.

    Newsletter

    • What we collect: email address, first name (optional), Kreis (optional), the time and wording of your consent.
    • Why: to send the emails you asked for. Legal basis: your consent (GDPR art. 6(1)(a) and the Swiss FADP).
    • Who processes it: Mailchimp (Intuit Inc., USA) as our email service provider. Data may be transferred to the USA under the safeguards Mailchimp offers (standard contractual clauses / Data Privacy Framework).
    • How long: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. After an unsubscribe we keep only a suppression record so you are not emailed again.
    • Tracking: Mailchimp may record whether emails are opened and links clicked, to help us improve the content.

    Analytics (only if you allow it)

    If you click "Allow" in the banner, we use Google Analytics (Google, USA) to count visits and clicks, for example how many people press "Find my group". If you decline, nothing is sent to Google. You can change your choice at any time with "Analytics settings" in the footer.

    Sign-up as a student

    • What we collect: your first name, your university email address, your home Kreis (1 to 12), your two confirmations (sharing your first name and Kreis, and 18+ with terms and privacy) and the time you gave them.
    • Why: to check that you are a student of a Zürich university and to prepare matching with other students. Legal basis: your consent (GDPR art. 6(1)(a) and the Swiss FADP).
    • Where it is stored: in the database (CMS) of this Wix site, hosted by Wix.com Ltd. Only the project team can read it. Other students cannot see it.
    • Who sees what: your first name and Kreis would be shown only to the students you are matched with, and only after matching exists. Your email address is never shown to other students.
    • Not verified: a university email domain is only a plausibility check, not proof of identity. In this prototype the team reviews sign-ups by hand.
    • How long: until the end of the course project, at the latest 31 January 2027, or earlier if you ask us to delete it. After that we delete all sign-ups.
    • No sale, no ads: we do not sell your data and do not use it for advertising.

    Member login

    • What happens: if you log in, you are sent to a login page run by Wix.com Ltd. Your login email and password are handled and stored by Wix (the password is stored hashed). We never see or store your password.
    • What we receive: after login, this page asks Wix for your member status (for example approved or pending) and your name, to show your access level. The team approves members by hand in the Wix dashboard.
    • In your browser: a temporary session token is kept in your browser's session storage until you close the tab or log out. It is not a tracking cookie and is not sent anywhere except to Wix.
    • Until approved: you can use the simulated demo only. This is an access level for the prototype, not a verification of your identity.
    • How long: same as sign-ups: until the end of the course project, at the latest 31 January 2027, or earlier on request. Then we delete all members.

    Trips (simulated)

    The events, times and trips you try out on this site are simulated in your own browser and are not sent to us. You can delete them from "My trips".

    Your rights

    You can ask for access, correction, deletion or a copy of your data, object to processing, or withdraw your consent at any time. You can also complain to the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC, EDÖB) or to your local data protection authority. Write to ladamx13@gmail.com.
