For coworking spaces
Under one roof,
in the same game.
Board & Pieces brings your members together around a game. One move a day is enough: it fits between two meetings, the game runs all week, and at the end of the month your community has a champion.
Monday
A small card in the kitchen.
You set up your space’s community in the app and share its link with your members; the QR card goes up in the kitchen or by the door. Anyone who would like to join does, in one tap.
What your members see
Your community’s
ledger.
This is the app’s real screen, recorded as it runs.
- 1Who’s aheadThe season’s standings and last month’s champion. Every season starts level, so someone who joined this week is in the race too.
- 2RematchesWho has played whom, and who took the last one. This is where an introduction turns into a habit.
- 3Members onlyPeople join through the link you share. If you prefer, every request waits for your approval.
Good to know
Common questions,
short answers.
- Does it get in the way of work?
- No. Whoever opens a game chooses its pace, and one move a day is the default; a move usually takes less than a minute. Each member decides for themselves whether to receive notifications.
- How is my members’ privacy protected?
- Your community is seen only by the people in it, and they join through the link you share. Chat opens only if both players accept it, and anyone can be blocked and reported in one tap. The app carries no ads.
- What about members who are not in every day?
- The game waits for them. Moves are made on the phone, so a member who comes in twice a week, or not at all this week, stays in the game.
- Are members who do not play chess left out?
- No. There are eleven games, and several are learned in minutes: backgammon, nine men’s morris, oware. Each one has a short lesson in the app.
- Is it more work for the community manager?
- No. The season closes by itself, the champion is announced by itself, and the next season starts by itself. What is left for you is the congratulations on Friday.
- Does it cost my members anything?
- No. The app is free and has no ads, and your community’s games are covered by your space’s subscription.
- What happens after the free season?
- If you would like to continue, you start your space’s subscription. If not, there is nothing you need to do, and your ledger stays where it is.
