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 actually turn up.

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.

How it works

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.

Paying for it

Set the price, or split the bill.

A seat has one price and every player sees it before they join. You decide where that number comes from: set it yourself, or put in what the space costs and let LOBBR divide it. Either way it is decided before anyone joins and does not move afterwards. A session can also be free.

One price per player
You set what a seat costs and everyone pays the same. You know what the session brings in before anybody has joined.
Or split what the space costs
Put in the court, lane or room fee. LOBBR divides it across the headcount you set and holds each person's share on their own card, so no money passes through you at all.
If you run the game

You booked the court. You should not also have to be the bank.

They pick the night, chase the replies, and front the court fee. Then one week they stop, and the group quietly ends.

Open a session and send one link. People verify a phone and take a seat, with no app to install and no account to make first. Their share sits held on their own card while you confirm the booking.

Everyone turns up, and the money lands in your own account after you have played. You do not touch any of it on the way through.

What you stop doing

  • Counting replies to work out who is coming
  • Fronting the booking on your own card
  • Asking four people for money, every week
  • Guessing who will actually turn up
Why sessions happen

Turning up is the hard part.

Anyone can organise a game. Getting eight people to show up is the part that goes wrong, so three things hold it together. None of them ask anyone to be nice about it.

Verified people

Every account is phone-verified before it can join anything. No throwaway profiles.

Held, not charged

Your card is held when you join, and only charged once the session has actually happened. A session that never fills costs nobody anything.

On the record

A no-show is recorded and counts until newer sessions outweigh it. Hosts see it. You can contest one within seven days.

Your people

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.

The catalogue

Same app for a squash court and a Warhammer table.

6 categories and 89 things to do, and this is the whole list. Every session on LOBBR is validated against these, so card games and role-playing are as first-class as basketball.
