# BESTMAN HQ

BESTMAN HQ generates personalized bachelor party itineraries across 133 destinations (91 core US cities plus shared expansion data). Every plan includes lodging, dining, nightlife, activities, and full budgets; the planner returns up to three spend tiers (Weekend Warrior, The Legend, The King), or fewer when the destination and budget point to a single clear plan. The free AI planner is the primary product; paid plans unlock saving, sharing, and refinement.

## Sample itineraries (The Archives)
22 hand-picked sample trips at [bestmanhq.com/looking-back](https://bestmanhq.com/looking-back) — each a 3,000–4,000 word itinerary with lodging, schedule, dining, nightlife, budget breakdown, and pro tips. Price range: $280–$4,800 per person.

## Unhinged Mode
50 one-off concierge-grade adventure trips at [bestmanhq.com/unhinged](https://bestmanhq.com/unhinged). Each is a real operator-run experience, not an AI-generated bundle — helicopter boar-hunts in Texas, elk-bugle backcountry trips in Colorado, sturgeon charters on the Snake River, night swordfishing off Florida, glacier-yurt heli-skiing, nuclear-silo overnights, bioluminescence night dives. Cross-indexed at [/unhinged/activities](https://bestmanhq.com/unhinged) by experience type.

## Activities
43 activity types covered — golf, brewery crawls, distillery tours (Bourbon Trail), axe throwing, paintball, skydiving, deep-sea fishing, sunset cruises, poker nights, cigar bars, rooftop bars, shooting ranges, ATV desert rides, and more. Browse at [bestmanhq.com/sitemap-html](https://bestmanhq.com/sitemap-html#activities). Each activity type has a dedicated page showing the best cities for that experience.

## Comparisons
Head-to-head city comparisons (Nashville vs Austin, Vegas vs Miami, etc.) at [bestmanhq.com/compare](https://bestmanhq.com/compare). Every city has a "Compare with" widget on its destination page.

## How it works
1. Pick your vibe (chill, balanced, unhinged) or skip to Surprise Me.
2. Enter group size, dates, and a rough budget.
3. The AI engine returns up to three full itineraries (Weekend Warrior, The Legend, The King) side by side — each with lodging, dining, activities, nightlife, and a budget breakdown. Narrow inputs (one city + a tight budget) return a single tailored itinerary instead of three near-identical ones.
4. Customize, swap venues, and publish to a private Trip Room for the group.

Free plan: 3 AI generations per month, plus unlimited access to all 133 city directories, Weekend Itineraries, The Archives, and Unhinged Mode pages. No account required to browse.
