The five-minute version.
A short walkthrough of the parts that matter — what an account, a session, and a group actually do.
Five steps from cold start to live game.
-
1Create an account.
No password required — we'll email you a magic link to sign in. You can set a password later from Settings if you prefer.
-
2Add some people.
Add people one at a time — names and any attributes you want to play around with (birthdays, hobbies, favorite foods). Or import in bulk: drop a GEDCOM file straight from FamilySearch, Ancestry, or MyHeritage, or upload a CSV if you already keep a spreadsheet.
-
3Start a session.
A session is a single game with you and your players. Pick which people to draw cards from, set the size, and you're in.
-
4Invite players.
Other accounts can join by username; everyone else (kids, grandparents, the tech-shy) gets a guest link that drops them straight into the game — no signup required.
-
5Play.
Flip cards, find pairs, watch your kid recognize Grandpa Joe's birth city from across the country. That's the whole pitch.
Groups vs. sessions.
A long-lived collection of people and the roster you share with them. Use it when you and a sibling want to maintain one set of people together.
A single game. It pulls from a group's roster (or just your own), runs for as long as you're playing, then ends.
You don't need a group to play — most people start with just their own roster and a session.
The contact page has answers to the most common ones, plus a short form if you'd rather just ask.
