See the Game Before You Book

July 28, 2026

It's been about a month, and a lot has shipped. The headline: you can now open any game to see who's playing before you commit, and you'll always get a heads-up before your card is charged. On top of that — a friendlier pre-registration flow, easier spot reclaims, a new membership page, and ClassPass support.

See who's playing before you sign up

Tapping a game used to sign you up on the spot — which meant a curious tap could book you a game (and charge you) by accident. Now tapping a game opens it: the full roster, the details, everything. Signing up is its own button, so looking and booking are finally two different things.

And before any real charge, you'll see a quick confirmation with the card and the amount — no more surprise bookings. Using a credit, or taking back a spot you released, still happens in a single tap, since those are easy to undo.

Pre-registration holds your place in line

For games more than a week out, non-members pre-register — save a card, and you're only charged if a spot is actually available a few days before. The big change: you now hold your place in line. As members and credit-holders book, the open pre-registration spots tighten, but you're never kicked out weeks ahead.

A few days before the game, whoever fits is charged in the order they joined, and anyone who didn't make it hears from us then — not weeks early. If someone drops before then, the line simply moves up.

Take your spot back for free

Change your mind after releasing a spot? As long as no one else has grabbed it, you can reclaim it for free instead of paying again — your original payment just carries over. Released players now see a Reclaim Spot button right on the games list, so it's one tap from anywhere.

A home for membership

There's a new /membership page that lays out what being a Supporter actually gets you — the lower per-game rate, a spot at the front of the line, and real highlight clips from your games in one place.

ClassPass drop-ins

We now support players who book through ClassPass. If that's you, the game page shows a note to cancel on ClassPass — instead of a Release Spot button that wouldn't do anything for a ClassPass booking.

Speed, polish, and behind the scenes

Signed-in pages paint noticeably faster now — we cut a pile of redundant behind-the-scenes round trips. Player avatars that were occasionally stretching into ovals are round again, and credit signups and waitlisters now get a note when a game's capacity changes.

Under the hood there's a new payment reconciliation safety net, a billing-account move, and better email deliverability — nothing you have to do, just steadier plumbing so signups and receipts land reliably.

Cheers,
