How to find time for gaming with friends

03.09.2021

Does it happen to you that you want to play games with friends (and they want it too), but it's not easy to find time together? Other times it’s hard to put more people together and discussions about “when do you want to play?” and “what do you want to play?” are confusing and take too long. Sometimes plans change for a few people and nobody knows how many people will eventually join, because there is no time to read every message in a long group chat. When you want to play regularly, it’s tough to find time when your friends can play too.

LinkedPlayers is a solution for these problems and it’s simple and free.

You can plan game sessions with friends with these simple steps:

Register for free

Creating an account at LinkedPlayers is very simple. Just fill in the registration form at this link, change a few user settings (like your username, your timezone, etc) and your account is ready.

Add friends

Best way to connect with other players is to add them as friends. You need to know only 1 thing - the username of another player (he has to have an account first). Invite him here and when he accepts, you will see him in the list of your friends.

Add game times (optional)

If you want, you can add your “game times” to the calendar. This way, your friends will see times when you want to play. It will be easier for your friends to find time for game sessions with you and they will know when they can invite you (without asking too many questions).

Plan game session and create one

In game session planner you can see how your game times and game times of your friends overlap (if you and your friends use game times). Here you can easily find the best hours for new game sessions. To create a game session use the button “New game session”.

It's easy to create a game session too. Only one thing is required - to fill the start time and finish time. Other things are optional. There are also additional settings like “who can invite players”, “who can see game session”, etc.

You will see your game sessions like this:

Here you will find invitations to game sessions from other players too.

Invite friends and play game

There is more ways to invite players to game session, but the simplest one is to select some of your friends and invite them like this:

If users accept invitations, you can assume that they will reserve time for this game session. Then you can use comments (or note) in game session to inform others how you will connect to play the game - you can send them a link to a phone call or whatever you want. Inviting players inside the game is up to you (every game is different, it’s not possible to click here “a magic button” and appear in game together with others). And it doesn't even have to be a video game, but for example you can play tennis outside or it can be some other activity with friends. You know what you want to do with friends, we don’t .

Let’s play!
