Over here at Proxi, we love Halloween! Halloween events and Trick-or-Treat maps have the power to bring communities together and make for a safe and memorable holiday.

In recent years, community leaders have been stepping up to provide these maps to their neighborhoods and communities. Yet we’ve learned (from experience doing this ourselves) that the current best solution — Google Forms and Google My Maps — is really hard to maintain as an admin. See our comparison of Google My Maps, MapMe, and Map Your Idea here. We had 2300 homes on our 2020 Seattle Trick-or-Treat map and to be frank, using Google My Maps was a nightmare.

That's why we built Proxi... to put the power of mapping into communities and their passionate leaders. Your users can view and interact with the map in the same way as Google My Maps! It is easy as can be.

In less than 3 minutes start your map on Proxi:

1. Click the button below to "Build Your Trick-or-Treat Map."
2. You'll be directed to the Proxi Map Studio.
3. Under "Categories & Tags," customize categories, descriptions, and icons to fit your map’s theme.
4. Start adding points by clicking "Add Point." You can include titles, descriptions, photos, and even links for each location.
5. Share your map link to enable crowdsourcing, allowing your community to add their trick-or-treating spots and details.
6. (Optional) Embed your map on your website or share the QR code
