Built on your feedback
The feedback button is inside the app. What players ask for is what gets built next.
// three jobs, one app
Every screen answers where, who, and when before it tries to be clever.
Spots
Places to play, hours-aware
Game stores plus the late-night diners, cafes, and 24 hour spots your group actually uses. Every venue knows its hours, so the open-late filter can tell you what is still open at midnight, not just what exists on a map.
- Open now and open late filters
- Community-confirmed hours and play space details
- Overnight hours handled correctly
Players
Privacy-first discovery
Find nearby players for your game, format, and skill level. Strictly opt-in: nobody appears unless they turn visibility on, and it is off by default. Distance shows only as buckets like "about 3 mi", never coordinates, never a pin on a map.
- Filter by game, format, skill, and availability
- Visibility off by default, opt-in to appear
- Bucketed distances only, computed server-side
Gatherings
Casual meetups that fire
Spin up "Commander pod, Saturday 10pm, cap 4" in under a minute. RSVP with a player cap, a waitlist that promotes automatically, and one group chat per gathering so the plan actually holds together.
- RSVP caps and automatic waitlists
- Group chat for every gathering
- Venue-bound beacons when you want a game right now
// cross-game by design
Publisher locators cover one game each. Gatherings covers the table.
// privacy is a feature
An app that helps strangers meet in person has to take privacy seriously. Gatherings does, by construction:
- Your device location is used to find nearby results, but it is never shown to another player or stored as your profile location. Other players see only a distance bucket like "about 3 mi".
- Player discovery is opt-in and off by default. Turn it off and you disappear from results.
- No ads, no data sale, no third-party tracking SDKs.
- Ages 13 and up, with a restricted mode for teens: no chat, direct messages, beacons, player discovery, or hosting until 18.
- Delete your account from inside the app, any time.
The full details live in the privacy policy.
