Red Thread Events
The platform that runs an event company end to end — planning, live scoring, attendee loyalty, marketing, and the books in one app
Features
- •Plan, prep, and run recurring events end to end — trivia, bingo, karaoke, open mic, murder mystery, and game nights
- •Live scoring that works offline-first, so spotty venue WiFi never interrupts a running event
- •An attendee loyalty engine — points, achievements, streaks, rivals, and bounties — that brings the same crowd back
- •A marketing engine that drafts captions with AI, auto-generates branded event graphics, and publishes to social on a schedule
- •A business layer — client portal, CRM, lead intake, and Stripe invoicing — so the whole operation runs in one place
- •Multi-tenant from the ground up, white-labeled across tiers, with a shared deterministic engine behind every score, achievement, and bounty
What it is
Red Thread Event Hub is the software that runs a boutique event company. It is a progressive web app — installable on a phone, no app store — that covers the full life of a recurring event: planning and prep, live execution, and the post-event review that tells you what actually worked.
It does three jobs at once. The first is operations: scheduling, pre-event checklists, a question bank and round builder, equipment logistics, and a live scoring surface built for the floor of a noisy bar. The second is loyalty: persistent attendee profiles with points, achievements, streaks, rivals, and bounties — the mechanics that turn a one-off crowd into regulars who come back every week. The third is the business behind it: a client portal, lead intake and CRM, Stripe invoicing, and a marketing engine that drafts captions, generates branded graphics, and publishes to social on a schedule.
It is multi-tenant from the ground up, so it is not tied to a single operator. It can be white-labeled for another event company, or run directly by a venue that wants to host its own nights — with plans that scale from a solo host to a multi-venue group.
Built on a real event company
The platform is not a concept. It runs Red Thread Events, a working event company in Central Florida that hosts trivia, karaoke, open mic, and game nights in bars and restaurants. Every feature gets pressure-tested on real events with real crowds before it ships. That is the difference from an off-the-shelf events tool: the product and the business that depends on it grew up together.
What's underneath
Red Thread Event Hub is a monorepo — React and Vite on the front end, Fastify on the back end, PostgreSQL via Prisma v6. The live scoring layer is offline-first, backed by Dexie and a service worker, so a dropped connection mid-event never costs a round. The engine that powers scoring, achievements, streaks, and bounties lives in a shared packages/engine directory as pure, deterministic, extensively tested TypeScript — no I/O, no surprises. Email runs through Resend, social publishing through Ayrshare, branded graphics through Satori, and AI authoring through Claude, with a BullMQ job queue scheduling the work that has to happen on time.
