Built by People Who've Been There
Stuck in a new city. Desperate for a clean restroom. No reliable way to find one. That's the moment Throne Score was born.
The origin story nobody asked for (but everyone relates to).
It started with a bad bathroom in a Portland food cart pod. The kind of experience that makes you question your life choices. The kind where you walk out and immediately text your friend: "Do NOT use that bathroom."
That text is basically what Throne Score is — except instead of texting one friend, you're telling everyone. We built the app because the existing options were either outdated, incomplete, or treated restroom quality as an afterthought.
Google Maps tells you a place exists. Yelp buries restroom info in restaurant reviews. Neither tells you whether there's soap, whether the lock works, or whether you'll need therapy afterward.
Throne Score is purpose-built for one thing: helping you find a clean, accessible restroom when you need one. Every feature, every filter, every rating category exists because someone on our team (or in our community) needed it.
We launched in Portland, Oregon in early 2025 and have since expanded to 41 cities across 7 regions worldwide. The app is free to use, community-powered, and built with the understanding that restroom access is not a luxury — it's a basic human need.

Real stories from real users who found their throne.
I have Crohn's disease. I've had to leave restaurants mid-meal, cut walks short, ruin dates. Throne Score changed how I plan every single day. I check it before I go anywhere.

Traveling with a potty-training three-year-old is its own kind of anxiety. Throne Score is the first app I open when we land somewhere new.

I'm in a different city every week for work. I've started rating restrooms the same way I rate hotels. Throne Score is the only app that actually tracks it.

I use a wheelchair. Finding accessible, clean restrooms is genuinely hard. The accessibility rating in Throne Score is the most useful thing on my phone.

I live in NYC. I already knew every Starbucks on my commute route. Now I know which ones are actually worth going into.

Used it in Tokyo and London. The ratings were surprisingly accurate — more useful than anything I found on TripAdvisor.

Every rating makes the map better for everyone.
Throne Score is community-powered at its core. Every rating you leave helps the next person find a clean restroom. Every review adds detail that Google Maps and Yelp don't capture: whether the soap dispenser works, whether there's a changing station, whether the door actually locks.
To keep things fun, we built a gamification layer. You earn XP for every rating, climb through royal titles from Bathroom Peasant to Porcelain Monarch, and compete on city leaderboards. It turns a mundane task into something surprisingly satisfying.
Our community guidelines are simple: be honest, be specific, be respectful, and be helpful. Rate restrooms based on your actual experience. Mention the details that matter. Review the facilities, not the people. Think about what you'd want to know before walking through that door.
Whether you rate one restroom or a hundred, you're contributing to something bigger: a world where nobody has to walk into a bad bathroom unprepared.
