In-person play, near you

Find your table.

GameBeacon shows you the game nights happening near you this week, and the players who would be glad you came.

  • You pick a general area and a travel radius. Your exact location is never shared or stored.
  • Every event listed happens at a public venue: game stores, libraries, cafés.
  • Tables marked Newcomers welcome are hosted by someone who teaches the rules.
01 · Where & when

Where and when can I play this game nearby?

Filter by game, date, and distance from the area you set. Store nights, recurring meetups, and one-off open tables all in one list.

02 · Who with

Who nearby would I enjoy playing with?

Say what is on your shelf and how you like to play: teaching-friendly, competitive, snacks-and-chatter. Suggestions come from overlap in games, pace, and availability.

Walking in alone, handled

1

Set your shelf and radius

Add the games you own or want to learn, the nights you are free, and how far you will travel.

2

Pick a night that fits

RSVP in one tap. You see the venue, the host, the seat count, and who else is coming.

3

Show up and say hi

Hosts know who is new. Message the group beforehand if you would rather not arrive cold.

For game stores

Fill the tables you already have.

Publish one-time or recurring events, keep a location profile with hours and parking notes, and see RSVPs before the doors open.
