Find & join a session

Use the map and filters to discover games near you, then RSVP in one tap.

PlayersUpdated September 14, 2026

Discover shows upcoming sessions on a map, centered on you. Pins open a session's details so you can see what's being played, where, and how many seats are left.

The Discover page listing nearby sessions with filters for activity, distance and date.
Discover: filter by what you play, how far you will travel, and when you are free.

Finding the right game

  1. Open Discover

    Go to Discover. Allow location access to center the map on you (you can also browse without it).

  2. Filter

    Narrow by activity (board game / tabletop RPG) and search radius to match how far you'll travel. You can also filter by a specific game.

  3. Open a session

    Click a pin or list item to see the description, time, location, host, and live seat count.

  4. RSVP

    Hit RSVP. If there's room you're confirmed instantly; if it's full you join the waitlist.

Games on your shelf

Sessions playing a game on your game shelf get an “On your shelf” badge, and sort Best match puts them near the top — a quick way to find the games you already love near you. See how results are ordered.

Seats fill up

The seat count is live. If a session is full you can still join the waitlist — Waypoint Realms promotes the next person automatically when a seat opens. See RSVPs & waitlists.

Set a reminder

When you RSVP you can ask to be reminded, and say when — anywhere from a week ahead to the moment it starts — and how: in the app, by email, as a notification on your phone, or any combination. Change or clear it any time from the session page.

Reminders on your phone

The phone option needs notifications turned on for Waypoint Realms on that phone (on an iPhone, add the site to your Home Screen first) — see install the app. Your choice here applies to this session only; the defaults for everything else live in notification settings.

After you RSVP

  • You'll get a confirmation, plus any reminder you asked for.
  • It appears under upcoming on your profile.
  • Need to drop out? Cancel from the session page so a waitlister can take your seat.
