How Deeplay Works
From browsing to booking to exploring — here's everything you need to know.
Your Journey in 5 Steps
Booking a Companion is simple, secure, and takes just a few minutes.
Browse & Discover
Explore Companion profiles on the Browse page. Filter by activity (coffee, meals, city walks, karaoke, events), read reviews, and check rates.
Send a Message
Found someone interesting? Send them a message! Chat about what you'd like to do, when and where to meet, and any questions you have.
Book & Pay Securely
Book through Deeplay. Payment is held securely by Stripe — your Companion only gets paid after the activity is confirmed as complete.
Meet & Explore
Meet your Companion at the agreed time and place. Enjoy your activity — whether it's coffee, a city walk, a meal, or karaoke.
Rate & Review
After your activity, both you and your Companion confirm it's complete. Leave an honest review to help other Explorers.
