    Used these at Rise in Las Vegas

    Our group used 5 Totems at Rise Festival in the desert of Las Vegas. Reception was really spotty out there. They helped us IMMEDIATELY. We kind of split up and went into different lines to get in. 1 of us got held up because they had to download their ticket to their phone. All of us inside saw that he was behind us somewhere so we tracked back to the gate to find him, and sure enough, he was there. That gave us the confidence. Throughout the festival we'd separate on purpose to see if we can find each other with the compass and it ALWAYS worked. Conditions were visibly really bad. Windy, dust flying everywhere, dark with low light. Totems got us to each other every time we separated. Just follow the light and then confirm with your eyes when the light starts to get wider. THESE THINGS WORK!

    Hey Jed - "Just follow the light and then confirm with your eyes when the light starts to get wider" - you've nailed the technique perfectly! Thanks for putting the Totems through their paces in those tough desert conditions and sharing this awesome review! <3

    Also, such an awesome picture you shared! We might have to steal this for our website at some point if you'd be okay with that. :)

    The device we have needed for such a long time.

    This product is more than chefs kiss! It has brought a fun element into finding each other and making it actually possible to find each other in a festival with an over loaded cell tower. I love this for more than music festivals too! (Even tho the video doesn’t show it, she indeed did find me in a vendors booth at reggae rise up music festival)

    Brilliant little devices. Work great.

    I bought these, believe it or not, not for festivals. But for my children and to keep track of them when were out and about at say parks etc. As one of my kids had ASN, these have been great way to keep an eye on him, especially as he has a tendency to wander off unaware of danger, this gives us a parents a little bit of extra relief, that we have an extra tracker that we can use. I've been meaning to order another one, so that I can give another one to the eldest of my 3 children. yeah I would definitely say they are worth it and work how they should. I unfortunately dont have any videos or pictures of them in use. But I would recommend these 100 percent.

    Pamela!

    I love that you've found a way to make these work for your family's everyday adventures. Having that extra peace of mind when you're out at parks with the kids, especially with your little one who has ASN, is exactly the kind of real-world use case that makes what we do so meaningful.

    Thanks so much for this wonderful review and for trusting Totem Compass to help keep your family safe! <3

    🎶 Totem Compass Review — Lost Lands 2025 💫

    We used our Totem Compass for the first time at Lost Lands and baby… I never lost hubby!!! 🙌

    I used to get so anxious in big crowds, worried he’d disappear on some random side quest (you know how festivals get 😅). But not this time! The totem compass kept us connected the whole weekend. Even after a full day of raging, dancing, and running around the festival grounds — it never let me down.

    You can’t see his in this video because it’s clipped to his HydroPack, but trust me, it was working perfectly the whole time. This clip was filmed around 4 AM at the Silent Disco, and yes… my totem was barely hanging on after a long day, but it had been going strong since early morning. Totally worth it. 💚

    If you’re the type who wants peace of mind while vibing in a crowd — this thing is a game-changer. 10/10 recommend for festival couples, groups, or anyone who hates that “where did they go?” panic.

    Steep setup curve but worth it

    As the designated IT nerd & helicopter parent of my friend group I was tasked with checking these out for keeping track of the kiddos at big gatherings. Honestly the initial setup was a confusing and the first few field tests had me thinking about returning them... But once you understand the device and its practical limits, it's awesome!

    It's not a replacement for common sense, so don't try to use it like that; but going camping or letting the kids have a little more freedom in big crowds is way less stressful when we bring the Totems along. The kids love them because _colors_ and *flashing* so they keep them on and brag about them to their friends. And if you actually do lose track of them, you learn pretty quick to follow the Totem rather than your best guess of where you saw them last.

    Peter! Love the "designated IT nerd & helicopter parent" title - sounds like you're the perfect person to put the Totem Compass through its paces! :)

    You're absolutely spot on about the learning curve and understanding the practical limits. It definitely takes a few tries to get the hang of it, but once it clicks, it's such a game changer for keeping track of everyone!

    Thanks for sticking with it through those early field tests and sharing this fantastic 5-star review! <3

    Rough start, but a solid recovery.

    When these totems were first released, there seemed to be quite a few issues that needed to be resolved. I would expect nothing less from a new product hitting the market. As time has gone on, the team has released multiple updates, new features, and solid customer support. I can now vouch for these things at festivals. I am a big side quest guy so it is super convenient to be able to find my crew whenever I want without the need to look at my phone. My reception is terrible at most festivals so I have had to rely on my compass a lot.

    Used it at DragonCon.

    So very useful especially on the vendor floor. So many people recognized and stopped and asked me about it. The only frustration is that they wished there was a representative at the con selling them.

    Thank you so much for sharing this positive experience, William!

    Truth be told, our indoor functionality is still extremely early on and we have a LOT more in the works to improve it! The fact that they worked so well on the vendor floor there is extremely encouraging. :)

    Stay tuned for the latest update, we intend to make every convention a breeze with these <3

    Solved my biggest festival problem!

    As someone new to the raving community in the last couple years, I’ve been having so much fun going to festivals, but the worst part was being unable to find my friends when we would split up. Now that I have a totem, I never have to worry about losing my friends again! This has given me the confidence to sidequest and do my own thing and it has made my raving experience so much better!

FAQs

How does the Totem Compass work?

Totems use GNSS to determine their locations, and then leverage the Unity Mesh Network™ to communicate that location to each other without any cell service, wifi, or bluetooth. Our software uses that data to determine the directional heading of your friends, and guides you in their direction using a ring of pretty lights. Read more on our blog.

Can I use the Totem Compass indoors?

Some buildings and metal structures can interfere with the Totem’s satellite connection, making it difficult to reliably navigate to peers. For this reason, the Totem Compass is best used outdoors.

Pairing your Totem Compass with the Totem Compass App may help functionality in indoor environments.

Does it work on Cruise Ships?

Totems indicate the lateral direction of your friends, so they can't tell you when someone is above you or below you. It couldn't help you find what floor your tribe is on, but it could navigate to them if you were outside on the deck!

What if my group is larger than 5 people?

You can Bond with more than four friends using the Totem Compass App!

Without the app, your Totem Compass can only Bond with four others—but those Bonds don’t happen in a closed circle. If you are smart about how your group spreads their Bonds around, you can easily make sure that everyone stays connected.

What happens when you get out of Range?

When a friend gets out of range, their Bond Light will dim and begin to breathe while it continues to point you to their last known location. 

In most cases, walking in that direction will get you back in range so their Bond Light can update again based on your friend’s real-time location.

Can I see the distance of my friend?

When you are within 100 meters from your friend, their Bond Light on your Totem will begin to expand, telling you that they are close by. As you get closer, their light gets larger and larger until you re-unite once again.

Are there software updates for the Totem Compass?

Yes! Performance-improving Software Updates are released regularly and are completely free to download. Check the Totem Compass Setup Video for more detail.

What if it gets Wet?

Your Totem is built for outdoor events, so no need to worry about rain, sweat, or humidity. Just don’t go swimming with it—they are not designed to be submerged in water or subjected to splashing without a waterproof case.

Can someone use a Totem to track me against my will?

The Totem Compass is designed with your safety—and consent—in mind. Every Totem Compass contains a secure “key” that ensures people can only track you if you choose to Bond with them.

Totems use a secure, two-way Bonding process that requires mutual consent from both people simultaneously. Totems can only be bonded when they are right next to each other, and you can delete someone at any time using Peer Management Mode.

Functions like these, layered on top of the Totems’ secure keys, make it nearly impossible for anyone to track you without your consent or knowledge.

What if I don't want to be found?

This one’s easy—simply turn your Totem Compass off!

Does the Totem vibrate?

The Totem Compass does not use haptic feedback (vibration). Vibration is hard to sense when you're at an event or in a crowd, so we made the Totem communicate solely through light and color.

Does it work internationally?

Yes! The Totem Compass uses a global constellation of satellites to determine its location, meaning that your Totem will work beautifully anywhere in the world (as long as you have a clear view of the sky). Their communication protocol broadcasts on 2.4GHz, one of the only frequencies legal in 100% of countries worldwide.
