For cafés and coffee houses

Give them a reason to stay for the second cup.

Chess, backgammon, go and nine other games your guests can start in seconds, on the phones already in their hands. No boards to buy, no pieces to lose.

What it does for you

They stay longer

A game of chess is twenty minutes. A game of backgammon is longer. Somebody with a reason to stay at the table is somebody who orders again.

New faces walk in

Players open the app to find somewhere to play. Sponsored venues sit at the top of that list, with your name, your photo and how many people are there right now.

The quiet hours fill up

Mid-afternoon is when a café has tables and no queue. It is also when someone looking for an opponent has time to come and find one.

A regular crowd forms

People who found a chess partner at your place come back to play them again. That is a habit, and habits are worth more than footfall.

How it works

1
We add your café
It probably already exists in the app — we pull venues from the map. Sponsoring it puts your name on it.
2
Print your QR code
Generate it in the app, save it, print it. One on each table is enough.
3
Guests scan and play
Their phone camera opens the app on your venue. No typing, no signup friction, and every game at your tables is free.

What it costs

Sponsorship runs for six or twelve months. While it is active, every game played at your venue is free for your guests, and your venue carries your name at the top of the list nearby players see.

Not sure yet?

Ask us for a coupon and run it for a month before you decide. It costs you nothing and your guests will not know the difference.

Questions owners ask

What does it cost my customers?: Nothing. While your venue is sponsored, every game played at your tables is free for whoever is sitting at them — no account upgrade, no per-game charge.
Do I need to buy anything — boards, tablets, hardware?: No. Guests play on their own phones. The only physical thing is a printed QR code on your tables, which you generate and print yourself from the app.
How do people find my venue?: Two ways. Players nearby see it in the app’s venue list, and anyone at your tables can scan the QR code to add it instantly. Sponsored venues appear at the top of that list.
What if it does not work for us?: Subscriptions run six or twelve months and are managed through the App Store or Google Play, so cancelling is in your hands, not ours. Ask us for a trial coupon before you commit.
