Games Night Planner

Read full description

Games night planner helps you to plan your next games night. For each group that you are part of you can have a list of games that your group owns or has access to, and these can include links to videos to help new members learn how to play them. Member of the group can indicate whether they are planning to attend, and can propose games to play, and you can vote to see which game is preferred. Only the group organiser has to make a purchase, and the app is available for the rest of the group to download and use, then they just need to enter the invite code or log in with the invited email address. Group members will receive a notification when there is a new game added to the group, and when a new games night has been organised.
