🇫🇷 Paris · History
"Haussmann's grand boulevards were designed to stop revolutions."
Wide straight streets let cavalry operate and artillery deploy. The most beautiful city in the world was partly engineered as a military installation.
Yoro
Culture quiz for travellers
Know the city.
Not just the sights.
Yoro teaches you the culture, history, food, and unwritten rules of the world's greatest cities — through short quizzes that actually stick.
Played by curious travellers exploring cities all over the world.
What Yoro teaches you
The stuff no guidebook tells you.
Every question is filtered through one test: would a smart traveller's experience of this city change if they knew this?
🇯🇵 Tokyo · Society
"Tokyo's Golden Gai has 200 bars, each seating 6 people — and that's the point."
The tiny space dissolves Tokyo's famous social reserve. Strangers 40cm apart can't maintain Japanese formality. Intimacy engineered through architecture.
🇻🇳 Hanoi · History
"The Hanoi Hilton was built by the French — to jail Vietnamese people."
Hoa Lo Prison was built in 1896 to hold Vietnamese independence fighters. When Vietnam later held US pilots there, Americans named it sarcastically. Same walls. Two colonial stories.
Five minutes. One city. Permanent curiosity.

Friends & Community
Add friends, see their cities, send a duel. Find the people who think 'left-wing' coming from a 1789 seating chart is the most interesting thing they heard this week.
For people who travel to understand, not just to see.
You read before you go. You ask locals questions. You come home and tell people things they didn't know. You're not a tourist — but you're not a travel snob either. You're just curious.
Yoro is built for you.
Not a guidebook. Not a trivia game. Not Duolingo for travel. Something new: a way to build genuine cultural intelligence about the places you care about, in the time it takes to drink a coffee.
