# Explore

Explore is the first place you go to see what people are already doing on Piny.

In the Piny dApp, the Explore menu gives you two main paths:

* **Explore The World** – discover individual markers pinned on the world map.
* **Explore Events** – find events where many people are pinning around the same theme.

Both of these let you experience the idea from the Overview page through real screens in the app.

## Explore The World

On the markers exploration screen you can:

* See markers that were created on different networks, directly on the world map.
* Move and zoom the map just like any other online map.
* Click markers to open a simple detail popup where you can read the image and message people left there.
* Use search to filter markers by name, message, minter, current owner, related event, or collection.

From the detail popup you can also jump into the full [marker detail page](https://github.com/pinyworld/piny-gitbook/blob/main/01-explore/markerDetail.md).

## Explore Events

On the events exploration screen you can:

* Browse events that are currently active and enabled on Piny.
* See, for each event, its name, description, network, owner, preview marker images, and total pin count.
* Use search, network filters, and sorting (by time, distance, pin count, etc.) to surface the events that matter to you.

From here you can click into any event to open its [detail page](https://github.com/pinyworld/piny-gitbook/blob/main/01-explore/eventDetail.md) and experience pinning inside that event’s own map and rules.

Exploring is the best way to feel what Piny is becoming: first you discover other people’s stories, then you add your own markers to the map or create events.
