When someone plans a trip in Limbo, they can invite you with a link or a short code. You enter the code, see a live preview of the trip, and join with one tap — no email invitation required.

Anyone with a Limbo account can join a trip this way. Only the trip owner can create, share, or revoke invite codes, so if a code stops working, ask the owner for a fresh one. member

Join with a code

  1. 1
    On the Home screen, tap Join a trip — the button just above the red + button.
  2. 2
    Enter the 6-character code from your trip organizer. Limbo uppercases it as you type.
  3. 3
    As soon as the sixth character is in, Limbo looks up the trip automatically.
  4. 4
    Check the preview: trip name, destination, dates, who organizes it, and the crew size.
  5. 5
    Tap Join trip.

Limbo adds you to the crew and opens the trip. Joining twice with the same code is harmless — you stay a single crew member.

Tip

Codes only use uppercase letters and digits, and skip easily-confused characters like 0, O, 1, I and L. If a code looks ambiguous, it isn't — there's only one way to read it.

Join with an invite link

If the organizer shares an invite link (from the trip menu or a message), tapping it opens Limbo with the code already filled in. The trip preview appears automatically — just confirm with Join trip.

If something looks wrong

  • "That code doesn't match an active trip." The code is mistyped, expired, or was revoked. Codes rotate — when the owner revokes one and creates a new one, the old code stops working. Double-check the code with your trip organizer.
  • "You need to be signed in to join a trip." Log in (or create an account) first, then enter the code again. If you arrived from an invite link, open it again after signing in.
  • Trip preview won't load. Pull up your connection and try again — the lookup retries each time you edit the code.

Note

Joining a trip needs an internet connection. If you're offline, the screen tells you so and waits — everything else in Limbo still works in airplane mode, and you can join as soon as you're back online.
