Short answer
Afterhours is a London Instagram-led afterhours feed surfacing what is happening tonight; MYSOVA is the gamified product layer underneath the feed. Afterhours helps you choose the night. MYSOVA makes the night count. The two stacks live next to each other on the same Saturday — pick the spot on Afterhours, run the night on MYSOVA. Launches 12 June 2026.
What MYSOVA does that Afterhours does not
Afterhours validated the demand for a London afterhours discovery surface — strong Instagram following, taste-led, scene-credible. The product is editorial: a curated feed of where the Saturday is going. MYSOVA is the structured layer underneath: 485 verified venues mapped across 17 zones, server-attributed XP per check-in, 99-level rank, dwell-time-gated SVS reviews, same-venue / same-night Paths, Live Loyalty perks redeemable at the venue, Night Recap at sunrise. Afterhours has no venue map, no XP, no rank, no privacy toggle, no review gate, no party loop. The two products solve adjacent jobs and stack cleanly.
