You've Been Spudied
You've Been Spudied
Gratitude that travels. Spudie a person, a café, a landmark or a place you love. Create something, carry your cause and help the Human Signal move through the real world.
How it works
Four simple steps.
1
Get a card
Print a You've Been Spudied sheet or make your own. Cut out a card.
2
Give it to someone
Write a kind note, a doodle, a thank you. Hand it to someone in person.
3
They log the broad place
One tap drops a general area on the world map. No account, no email, no exact address.
4
They pass it on
They keep the card, stick it in their journal, or pass it to someone else. The signal travels.
Spotted in the Wild
Real places. Real notes. Real people.
Cafés, shops, schools and corners of the world where a Spudied card landed and stayed. Every one of them is a kindness that didn't get scrolled past.
First Spudied Spot 💛Run a café, shop or school? Leave Spudied cards on your counter and get featured!
Tell us where you are and we'll add you to the wall once we've had a look. It's free, and the cards do the rest.

Kindness Card

Step Into Your Cause
Wear the difference. Carry what you care about.
Wear two different shoes, two different colours, or simply make one pair visibly mismatched for the causes you care about. Take that Cause Signal into a real place, Spudie it and let the movement travel.
Step different
Odd shoes become a visible signal that you care.
Carry your cause
Your Cause Spudie travels with every place quest.
Spread it
Leave or pass a Spudied card and move the Human Signal on.
Learn the Signal Step
No purchase required. Any mismatched shoes or colours work. The cause matters more than the footwear.
