Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about finding, rating, and claiming Australia's most honest public toilets.

💡 Have a suggestion or feature idea?

Thought of a way to improve the map, the 30/30/20/10/10 scoring system, or throne battles?

🧮 How does the Dunny Seeker rating formula work?

We don't do fake review math. Every dunny score is calculated using an unvarnished weighted average of 5 critical facility standards out of 5.0:

Category	Weight	Why it matters
🌬️ Smell	30%	If your eyes water upon entry, no amount of soft tissue paper will save you.
✨ Cleanliness	30%	Floor dryness, seat hygiene, and general lack of biological hazards.
♿ Accessibility	20%	Ramp access, wide door turns, and functioning handrails for all seekers.
🔧 Maintenance	10%	Locks that actually lock, running water, and working hand dryers.
🧻 TP Quality	10%	Is it council-grade 0.5-ply tracing paper or actual comfortable roll?

Formula: Overall Score = (Smell × 0.30) + (Cleanliness × 0.30) + (Accessibility × 0.20) + (Maintenance × 0.10) + (TP Quality × 0.10)

👑 How do I claim a throne and what is a Regime Change?

Every public dunny in Australia is sovereign territory waiting to be ruled. Here is how the Monarchy works:

The 100m Rule: You must be physically standing within 100 metres of the toilet according to your phone's GPS. You cannot claim a throne from your lounge room in Dubbo.
Daily Check-in Limit: You can check in at a location once per day to add +1 visit to your total tally.
Dethroning a Monarch: Whichever user holds the highest cumulative check-in visits reigns as King/Queen/Monarch. If you pass the current ruler's check-in count, a 🚨 REGIME CHANGE triggers instantly, taking their crown and sending them an alert.

📍 How do I add a new dunny to the map?

Found an undocumented throne out in the wild? Simply tap anywhere on the map surface where the dunny is located. The app will automatically attempt to detect the street address using reverse GPS geocoding. Enter the name, select facilities (♿ Disability Access 👶 Baby Change 🚻 Unisex), submit your initial rating, and you automatically become the founding Monarch of that new location!

🚨 What is the Emergency Dunny Finder?

When you're caught out on a highway after dodgy takeaway, open the main menu and tap 🚨 Find Emergency Dunny. The app uses your live GPS coordinates to instantly highlight the highest-rated, closest public toilet near you and feeds you directions before disaster strikes.

⭐ What makes a 1-star vs a 5-star dunny?

1.0 - 1.9 ★ (Biohazard): Avoid unless it is an utter emergency. No TP, broken lock, smells like a 1994 music festival portaloo.
2.0 - 2.9 ★ (Standard Servo): Functional, but keep your boots on and don't touch the door handle with bare hands.
3.0 - 3.9 ★ (Solid Council Facility): Clean, stocked toilet paper, reasonable hand-washing station.
4.0 - 5.0 ★ (Royal Flush): Immaculate hygiene, scented air freshener, ambient lighting, and 3-ply tissue. Truly a palace.
