HOW IT WORKS

Send out a beacon or respond to an existing LFG call.

STEP 01

Fill out your profile

To start, Foray needs your city, one game you play, and a confirmation that you are 18 or over. Formats, skill level, a photo, a bio and the times you are usually free can come later, and they make it easier to find an opponent.

STEP 02

Browse players who want a game now

The Players tab lists looking-for-game posts in your area. Posts expire, so everyone you see wants to play soon. Filter by game, format, distance, date and skill level, or post your own.

STEP 03

Send a request

A request includes a short message and shows your games, your record and your dispute rate. The other player accepts or declines. When they accept, a direct chat opens and you agree a date and time.

Matchmaking is free. Posting, requesting, chatting and booking a table cost nothing.

STEP 04

Book a table at a verified store

Every store on the map has been verified by Foray before it appears. Store pages show opening hours, table types and open slots. A booking needs an accepted match, so two players are always attached. If the store charges for a table, the fee is shown before you book and paid at the store.

STEP 05

Report the result

After the match, both players report who won, within 72 hours. Reports that agree go on your record. If you each claim the win, the match is recorded as undecided and counts towards your dispute rate. Either player can mark a game casual instead, and then nothing is recorded.

SAFETY

Meeting strangers is the point. Here is what is in place.

Play at a store

Bookings only exist at verified stores, so there is always a public place to meet. Where you play is your choice; we suggest a store for a first game.

Block and report

From any profile, post, chat or listing. Blocked players stop seeing each other's posts, profiles and listings, and cannot message.

Reports are reviewed

Every report goes to a moderator. A no-show goes to review rather than straight onto anyone's record.

Distance, not address

Other players see how far away you are, never where you are. Your location is used for distances and the map, and is not shown.
