Anyone else feel like coordinating game nights turns into 20 messages of “when are you free?” every time?

Hey guys,

I’m curious if other gaming dads deal with this too.

Every time my friends and I try to plan a game night, it turns into a long back-and-forth of:

  • “What time works for you?”
  • “I might be on after dinner”
  • “Let me check with the family”
  • repeat 12 times until someone gives up or we just play solo

Between work, kids, and everything else, it feels like the actual gaming part is easier than just figuring out when we’re all available.

Genuinely wondering how everyone else handles this without it turning into group chat chaos.

I was sick of trying to coordinate game nights across Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, etc. It always turns into a mess of “who owns what” and “when is everyone free.”

So I built Platform Party.

It connects friends and game libraries across platforms, shows shared games, and helps groups actually decide what to play and when. It started as a simple steam only site but I keep adding new features, I integrated discord, got PSN syncing to work, and utilized IGDB allowing users to add basically any game to their library.

The apps still in its early phase.. and so am I because I haven't been a dev for that long. I'm just looking for honest feedback — especially on whether this solves anything real or is just a “nice idea in theory.”

P.S

I built a demo user in so you can try it risk free, It basically clones my personal account so please don’t judge my game choices and hours.
