What Games Room does

From "who is in?" to a full table.

Friends Who is in Friday? Mon 6:02 pm · Host I can maybe? lol did you see this who has the aux Thursday: 1 yes, 1 maybe. Nobody wants to chase. NO NIGHT Friday Room Fri 7 pm Poker · Monopoly Deal SAM JO ALEX MIA YOU open 1 week3 daysmorning Thursday: 5 seats claimed. Nobody had to chase. THE NIGHT IS ON
  • The host asks once. Then the question sinks under other messages.
  • "Maybe" is not a plan. Nobody can count the chairs.
  • Somebody must chase. Nobody wants that job.
  • The host sets the night in three taps. The date and the games go to the whole room.
  • Each friend claims a seat. A name on a chair is a yes you can count.
  • The app sends the reminders. One week before, three days before, on the morning.

Who it is for

One table. Three jobs it takes off you.

  1. The host

    "Plans the night. Gets out of the way."

    You pick a date and the games. The app sends the invites and the reminders. You do not chase anyone for a reply.

  2. The regular

    "Your seat's claimed. Just walk in."

    One tap saves your seat. Your name is on a chair before you arrive. Everyone can see who is coming.

  3. The quiet one

    "Knows the story before the door."

    The scores and the awards are in the app before the night. You arrive with something to talk about.

Why a game

Come for the games. Stay for the conversation.

THE GAME HOLDS THE GAPS

The app gets everyone to the table. The game does the rest.

A game gives your hands a task. Each round makes a pause and something to talk about. Nobody must find the next topic alone.

The Question Box

Serious, then stupid, then serious again.

Question from the box

What is one job everyone thinks is respectable that you think is mostly a scam?

Jo is reading serious

Serious Stupid

Every 20 minutes, the app gives one person a question to read out. The next question goes to the next person.

The deck mixes serious questions with stupid ones on purpose. So the talk goes deep, then silly, then deep again. You learn more about the people at the table each night.

The games set the volume. Poker runs quiet. Monopoly Deal runs loud. The questions set the topic. The host can turn the box off, edit the questions or add the room's own.

How a night works

Five steps. Tap one to see it.

Step 1 Join a room A friend gives you a code. You type it once.
  1. K7MPQ2

    The host makes a code. Each code has six characters.

  2. K7MPQ2

    The host sends one code to one friend.

  3. K7MPQ2

    The friend types the code and joins. After that, the code does not work.

Members can make codes too. The host sets how many each member can hold.

Step 2 The night is set The host picks a date and the games. The room gets the news.
  1. FRI 7 PM

    The host picks a date, a time and the games.

  2. The new night shows in the room for each member at the same time.

  3. 1 week3 to 4 daysmorning

    Reminders come one week before, three to four days before, and on the morning of the night.

Reminders are off until you turn them on for a room. If you tap Can't make it, the reminders stop.

Step 3 Claim a seat One tap puts your name on a chair.
  1. Claim seat

    Tap Claim seat. That is all.

  2. SAM JO ALEX YOU

    Your name goes on a chair. Everyone can see who is coming.

  3. claimarrive

    The room can hold a seat deposit. Tap I'm here at the night and you get it back.

Plans change. Release your seat and it opens for another person.

Step 4 Play and score You play with real chips. The app counts them at the end.
  1. 200 points 100

    Take points from your balance in the app.

  2. hostyou

    The host gives you real chips for those points.

  3. You play. The phones stay face down.

  4. +60

    At the end, scan your stack. The ledger records what you won or lost.

Some games have one winner, like Monopoly Deal. In those games, the host taps the winner of each round.

Step 5 The season Scores carry from night to night. Then the awards go out.

  1. Scores carry from night to night.

  2. Whale

    The host ends the season. The app gives the awards.

  3. new season

    Each balance goes back to the start. A new season begins.

What a season looks like

The night compounds.

  1. Week 1

    Three people claim a seat. The first night happens.

  2. Week 4

    Five seats are full. Somebody brings chips.

  3. Week 8

    The season ends. The awards go out, and the table laughs.

  4. Week 12

    A friend of a friend sits down. Nobody treats them as new.
