Saved searches and alerts

Stop checking. Save a search and be told when a game that fits turns up near you.

EveryoneUpdated August 18, 2026

Most local scenes are thin enough that the game you want is not on today β€” it is on in three weeks, posted by someone you have never met. A saved search turns that from a habit of checking into a notification.

The saved searches page listing saved filters with their alert settings.
Each saved search keeps its filters and tells you when something new matches.

Saving one

  1. Search the way you normally would

    On Discover, set the filters you care about β€” activity, distance, day, whether it suits new players.
  2. Save it

    Save this search keeps the filters, not the results, and asks you to name it. β€œBoard games, weeknights, near me” beats β€œsearch 1” when you have four of them.
  3. Let it run

    New sessions that match are collected and sent to you. Nothing fires the instant somebody posts β€” you get told, not pinged.

Managing them

Saved searches lists everything you have saved. Run one to see current matches, turn alerts off without deleting it, or remove it.

Two or three beats ten

A search broad enough to match everything stops being a signal. Save the specific things you would actually travel for.

Alerts for a whole area

Separately from saved searches, you can opt into alerts for a game type or an area β€” useful for LARP and other activities that run rarely enough that a saved search would sit silent for months. Both kinds of alert respect your notification settings, so turning off email turns off email everywhere.

What we do not do

  • We do not share what you searched for with hosts. A host sees that people are looking in their area, never who.
  • We do not use your saved searches to advertise to you.
