Find your thing.
Meet your people.
Volleyball on Tuesday. Bouldering on Thursday. Dungeons & Dragons on Sunday.
LOBBR is how strangers in your city commit to doing something together, and then turn up for it.
The store listings aren’t live yet. These links will open the moment they are.
Stop chasing people.
Six players or four people around a table, it fails the same way every time. The organising is the hard part. LOBBR does that bit.
The group chat
Two hundred messages to find out four people are coming.
The 6pm flake
Three cancellations, and the table is short two players.
The double booking
You arrive. Someone else has the court.
The twelve dollars
Chasing four people for it. Every week.
It’s not just courts.
6 categories. 20 sub-categories. 89 things to do. This is the same list the app validates every session against. Card games and role-playing are as first-class as basketball.
Plus Other, for the thing your group does that nobody has named yet.
Three steps. One evening.
Browsing, joining, paying and checking in. All of it on your phone, because that’s what you’ve got on you on the way there.
Turning up is the hard part.
Anyone can organise a game. Getting eight people to show up for it is the bit that goes wrong, so three things hold it together. None of them ask anyone to be nice about it.
You already have the space.
LOBBR fills the hours.
Courts, studios, lanes, tables, mats: anything you run sessions in. You keep your schedule and your prices. LOBBR finds the players, holds their money until the session is certain, and pays you into your own Stripe account.
01
You post the hours
Your own schedule, your own prices. Set a block once, repeat it weekly, and the sessions generate themselves.
02
Players join
Each one's card is authorised for their seat. Nothing is charged and nothing reaches you yet.
03
Lock-in passes
The platform checks the roster on its own, every minute. Enough players and the session is confirmed.
04
It runs
Check people in from the console or your phone: a tap, a QR scan, or their arrival at your address.
05
You are paid
The holds are captured and your share lands in your own Stripe account. Stripe pays out to your bank on your schedule.
Or it doesn’t fill, and that costs nobody anything.
If the roster is short when lock-in passes, LOBBR cancels the session, releases every hold and tells everyone who had joined. No card is charged, so there’s no refund to process and no platform fee to pay. The same happens if you have to cancel a session that was already confirmed. Money only moves once people have played.
9% of the entry fee, or 7% on PRO — added to what the player pays, not taken out of what you set. Plans from CA$29 a month with a 14-day trial.
You came for the session. You stay for the people.
Most people join their first session alone. Six weeks later they have a Tuesday crew, a hiking group chat and three hosts they never miss.
That doesn’t happen by luck. It’s what the app is for.
Follow the people you liked playing with
Tap anyone on the roster. See what they play and how reliable they are. Follow them, and their next session turns up in your feed.
Favourite the places you keep going back to
Pick which kinds of session you want to hear about, so a climbing gym doesn’t page you about every yoga class in the building.
Quiet by default
Following is a silent feed. New-session pushes stay off until you turn them on, and even then it’s one per activity every four hours.
A chat per session
One thread for the host and everyone who joined. Reactions, edits, and an invite to pull a friend into the empty seat. It ends when the session does.
