the part nobody expects

Came for the theme. Stayed for the people.

Not only did I find really fun games I had never played before - I found a loving, welcoming community and life-long friends. I love Ludio and all my Ludio buddies!

I joined Ludio after moving away from all of my friends. I was missing the community and the game nights, both of which I found in Ludio! I look forward to these nights every week!

- Jenna, since March 2024

I discovered the game nights through Meetup and felt instantly welcomed to the group. Everyone is friendly and we have a blast playing games together.

Common Questions

What are passes? What does it cost after 3 nights?

A pass lets you play on Ludio for 24 hours. We give you 3 free passes every month, and you get a free pass when you show up for the first time. When you run out of free passes, passes start around $1 each in a bundle, or unlimited for $20/month.

How "hardcore" is the group? Will each game take a really long time?

We play short social deduction games to warm up and only do the "heavy" stuff like Mafia if the group is feeling it. Most games take 10-20 minutes tops.

What if I'm bad at games?

We're focused on making people feel welcome, not on being good. Everyone's here to have a good time.

Do I have to be on camera?

No, but hosts highly encourage it - it makes the night more social.

Is it safe?

Yes. Every event has a host who moderates, and anyone breaking our guidelines is removed immediately.
