Tidal Rave Terms of Use

Last updated: 6 November 2026. Operator: ECHOHOUSE GHANA LIMITED, Hno. 2A6 SSNIT Flats Court, Adenta, Accra, Ghana ("we"). Contact: info@theechohouse.com.

By playing Tidal Rave you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy; the game asks you to agree the first time you play. On iPhone, Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies where it does not conflict with these terms.

1. Who can play

Tidal Rave is only for people aged 18 and over. Lying about your age is a breach of these terms, and accounts of people under 18 are closed.

1a. Your real details and verification

Tidal Rave is for real people. The first time you play you give your gender, your real full name and your real date of birth. They must be true: giving false details, or someone else's, is a breach of these terms. You cannot change them yourself; if they are wrong, ask us and our team will correct them. They are private (see the Privacy Policy).

Verification is optional. Verified players get a badge next to their name; typed chat is open to every player once both of you say yes. You can get verified by sending a photo of your own passport or Ghana Card, which our team checks, or with a valid festival ticket code. Only send a photo of your own document. We may refuse or remove verification, and close the account, if a document is not yours, is altered, or does not match the details you gave us. A verified mark means our team has checked a document; it is not a promise about who someone is or how they will behave.

2. Your account

A guest account is created on your device when you first play. You are responsible for the device and for what is done with your account. If you sign in with Apple or Google, your Tidal Rave account is tied to that identity. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms.

3. Behaviour

Tidal Rave is a shared festival. You agree not to: harass, threaten, insult or discriminate against other players; send sexual content or solicit it; impersonate others; cheat, use bots, automate play, or tamper with the game or its server; try to earn Tides through exploits; or break any law. Typed chat is only possible when both players agree, and either can end it, block or report the other at any time. Reports are reviewed by our team, who may warn, mute, suspend or ban.

Zero tolerance. There is no tolerance for objectionable or abusive content or behaviour in Tidal Rave: harassment, hate, threats, sexual content, nudity, scams, or anything involving minors, including any child sexual abuse or exploitation (see our Child Safety Standards). Our team reviews reports within 24 hours, removes the content and bans the accounts responsible. You can report or block any player from their profile at any time, and reach us at info@theechohouse.com.

3a. Meeting people and dating

Tidal Rave is a festival game for meeting people; it is not a hookup service. Dating features (your dating card, likes, matches, match chat, speed dating and asking a cabana host to let you in) are optional, for adults only, and you choose who you talk to. Be honest about yourself and respectful of others: no harassment, no pressure, no sexual content, no requests for money or gifts, no offering or asking for paid companionship, and no sharing of other people's personal details. Never send money to someone you met in the game, and if you decide to meet in real life, meet in a public place and tell a friend. Players declare their own details; we only check a document when a player asks to be verified, and even then we cannot guarantee anyone's identity or behaviour. You can unmatch, block or report anyone at any time; our team reviews reports and may remove dating access or the account. A "let me in" request costs Tides and the Tides come back if the host says no or does not answer in time; a host who lets you in is not bound to keep you as a guest.

3a-i. Computer-run characters

Some characters at the festival are run by the game, not by real people: mission characters, stall staff, security and stage performers. Real players' names are shown in green.

3b. Health information

The Health Clinic in the game gives general health and safety information for festivals. Its med kits and bed rest restore your character's in-game strength only. It is not medical advice and is no substitute for a doctor or the first-aid team at a real event. In an emergency, call the local emergency number (in Ghana: 112).

4. Tides (the in-game currency)

Tides are a licence to use features inside the game. They are not money, have no cash value, cannot be exchanged for money or anything outside the game, and cannot be transferred except through the game's own gifting. You can buy Tides through Apple or Google in the apps, earn small amounts by playing, and spend them on features, items, access and gifts. Purchases are final once delivered, except as required by law or by Apple's or Google's refund rules. Gifts to artists are final and cannot be reversed. Only Tides bought with money can be gifted to an artist. Tides do not expire. We may change prices, rewards and what Tides can buy; we will not take away Tides you have already bought without a refund, except for fraud or a breach of these terms. If we close the game we will give at least 60 days' notice and stop selling Tides.

5. Gifting and artists

Gifting an artist during a performance is a way to show appreciation. The artist receives a share of the value of gifts, under a separate Artist Agreement; the rest covers platform costs and app store fees. A gift does not buy any service or content from the artist. Artists are independent; we are not responsible for what they perform or say.

5a. Businesses, stalls and vouchers

Businesses can apply for a stall at the festival. Each business is responsible for its own stall, menu and offers, and for anything it provides outside the game. Vouchers are free rewards and need no purchase. When you claim a voucher, the business that offers it can see your festival name when it checks or redeems your code; it cannot see your email or sign-in details.

5b. The free cabana draw: official rules

ECHOHOUSE GHANA LIMITED runs a free draw on festival nights. Any player can enter from the lounge entrance, and no purchase is needed. You get one entry, plus one for each day of your daily streak, up to five entries in all. One winner is picked at random from that night's entries at the draw time shown in the game, and is told in the game. The prize is free use of a cabana in the game for that festival night. It has no cash value and cannot be exchanged. Apple and Google are not sponsors of the draw and are not involved in it in any way.

6. Music and content

Artists perform their own music under a licence they grant us (Artist Agreement). If you believe something in the game infringes your rights, write to info@theechohouse.com with the details and we will review it and remove it where appropriate. You may not record, extract or redistribute performances or game content. The game, its characters, environment, names and designs belong to us or our licensors. You keep the rights to what you type, and give us a licence to show it in the game and review it for safety.

7. Availability

The game is online and needs an internet connection. It may be unavailable, change or be withdrawn at any time. We do our best but do not promise uninterrupted service. Virtual items may change as the game develops.

8. Liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect loss, loss of data or loss of Tides caused by things outside our control. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights are not affected.

9. Ending things

You can stop playing and delete your account at any time, in the game (Passport > Delete my account) or on the delete account page; this also deletes your declared details and any ID photo (see the Privacy Policy). Remaining Tides are forfeited when an account is deleted. We can end these terms for a breach, with notice where practical.

10. Law

These terms are governed by the laws of Ghana. Disputes go to the courts of Ghana, unless consumer law where you live gives you a different right. Apple and Google are not parties to these terms and have no obligations under them.
