For game-night groups
Stop spending game night deciding what to play.
What to Play looks at your group's shelf — who owns what, who's playing tonight, how much time you've got — and tells you what to put on the table.
Free tier · Bring your own Google Sheet · iOS, Android & web
This isn't another game database.
SteamDB catalogs every game ever made. What to Play knows your shelf — the games your group actually owns, who's in tonight, and what fits the time you've got. Discovery to game-on in one tap.
How it works
Bring your shelf
Connect the Google Sheet you already keep — free forever — or start a hosted cloud group. Your data stays yours either way.
Everyone marks what they own
People claim their profiles; ownership, wishlists, and borrowed copies stay in sync across the group.
Say who's in
Pick tonight's players and get compatible games ranked by fit — player count, complexity, session length, cost, VR comfort.
Everything game night needs
Compatibility engine
Player count, complexity, session length, cost of entry, VR comfort — computed from your group's real data, not guesswork.
When scheduler
Find a time everyone's actually free. The group timeline shows the overlap at a glance — no more 40-message threads.
Spin the Wheel
Can't decide? A weighted game-show spin picks for you, with your group's votes tipping the odds.
Borrow tracking
Lent your copy to a friend? It's tracked, so the picker knows where every game actually is.
Kid-friendly handicapping
Per-player assists (not global cheats) so the kids stay competitive and nobody has to throw the game.
PartyBalance mods
Games with official PartyBalance mods get a badge and a one-tap link to the Mod Manager. Premium includes the whole bundle.
PartyBalance bundle

iOS, Android, and web, from one Expo codebase. Your group can mix and match.

What's the PartyBalance bundle?
PartyBalance mods add loadout-style perks and per-player handicaps to party games — built for mixed groups with kids. Premium includes the bundle; modded games are badged in the picker.
