Campfire is a companion app for Niantic games, including Pokemon GO. It helps you find players, events, and exciting game locations nearby. You can think of it as a social hub to enhance your gaming experience.

When you open Campfire, you will see a live map filled with activities and spots shared by other players. You can connect with nearby communities, message friends, and even join group events. Whether it’s a Raid Battle or a quick catch-up with friends, Campfire keeps everything in one place. To quote the developers:

“We know Trainers love taking part in raids, so we designed Campfire specifically to make this aspect of Pokémon GO easier to coordinate. Inside the Campfire app, Trainers can share raid locations with friends in direct messages or group chats, making it easy to get a team together quickly and efficiently.”

Now, let’s explore Campfire’s features and its usage in Pokemon GO in detail.

Key Features of Niantic Campfire

  • Find and join groups of Trainers in your area.
  • Add and manage friends across all Niantic games.
  • Chat one-on-one or in groups, share locations, and organize events.
  • Find out events on the map and invite others to join.

Niantic’s Campfire app is available on both iOS and Android devices. You have to download it and log in using the same Niantic ID attached to your Pokemon GO game. Then, Campfire will show some very easy-to-follow instructions to link both applications. Once they are linked, you can access Campfire directly from the Pokemon GO app.

Campfire in Pokemon GO makes teaming up simple and fun. Here’s how you can get started:

Find Raids and Trainers

Tap on the map to see nearby Raids or Gyms. You can add a Flare at a location to let other Trainers know you’re ready to play. It’s a signal for nearby players to join the fun.

Chat and Coordinate

In the Campfire app, select a Gym or Raid and use the chat option. This opens a Flare Chat, where you can discuss strategies and plans with others. Remember, you can only be in one chat room at a time, so stay focused on your current activity.

Team Up for Raids

The Team Up feature of Campfire promotes better coordination. You can either host a raid or join one. If you are a host, you can create a group with up to five Trainers nearby. If you want to join a raid, the system will match you with a group instantly.

Tips for Safe Play

Before you share your location or chat with others in Campfire, make sure you’re comfortable with sharing your real-time details. Avoid sharing personal information and focus on communicating about the game.
