In a World of Digital Connection, Why Do We Feel So Alone?

How is 5 and Go! different from social media apps?
Unlike social media that often creates digital isolation, 5 and Go! is designed to promote genuine face-to-face connection in the real world. Our challenges guide you to meaningful interactions that research shows directly improve mental health and happiness. We don’t track “likes” or followers – we measure real connections that improve your wellbeing. There’s no posting for others to see, only journaling your own amazing interactions to track your progress and remind you how fun connecting IRL is. Think of us as the opposite of social media: we use technology to get you away from screens and into real human connection.
What results can I expect?
Most users report noticeable improvements in mood and reduced feelings of isolation within the first two weeks. With consistent use, you can expect stronger relationships, improved social confidence, reduced anxiety in social situations, and an expanded circle of meaningful connections. The science is clear: regular social connection directly impacts both mental and physical health.
