Making new friends just became EASY

Ludio is a fun-loving community of 5000+ people from all over the world. We play social games online 7 days a week using the Ludio videoconferencing platform, built specifically for game nights.

Our exciting games, enthusiastic hosts, and welcoming community members make for an awesome experience. We’d love to have you!

Why we built Ludio

Making friends as an adult is hard

Maybe you work from home.
Maybe you don't live near a big city.

Maybe you're feeling a little bit bored and lonely on a weekday evening.
Maybe you don't have the time or the energy to meet new people ... but you know you should.

We've been there 😩 and our solution has been to build communities around games for 10+ years.

Game nights are a great way to meet new people ... but online?

Video calls are normal now. But when we tried bringing our game nights online, they fell short.

We learned the hard way that existing tools were too clunky. They distracted us from what we were good at - teaching games and making new players feel welcome. Between screen-sharing, creating breakout rooms, and other kinds of manual effort, our game nights "worked" - but they weren't amazing.  

We thought we could build something better. We built Ludio to make video calls social again.

Ludio is a fun interactive video platform that makes playing board games fun with friends and strangers. Great way to relax and wind down at the end of the day.

Found the group through Meetup as it was recommended. I found a friendly, casual group open to all skill levels of players. The site is well designed and works perfectly for some casual social games. It’s got some good competitive games and the design allows for plenty of interaction and banter! I think adding the “initiation” group was a success. The veterans have formed a bond I think. I do enjoy seeing new faces pop up but having to listen to the tutorial every time was a bummer. I give Ludio two thumbs up!

Well I remember my therapist told me that I should start meeting more people and so I downloaded Meetup and I found the Ludio game night. I thought it would be fun so I signed up and during my first time, everyone was really nice and really open. The games were super fun! The more and more times I came, the more fun it got, and the people were all so nice and funny. I'm really happy I found the game nights.

I've been part of this online game group for about four months, and it's been a fantastic experience. The creators have built an awesome website that uniquely integrates games directly into a video chat platform. We play card games, strategy games, and more, and they periodically add new games from small game makers. They offer multiple meet-up sessions each week at times that fit everyone's schedules, including different time zones, which makes it easy to join in. It's been a really fun way to see familiar faces and meet new people every week. As someone who works from home, it's been a wonderful opportunity to socialize and enjoy some much-needed interaction.

I joined Ludio after moving away from all of my friends post-grad school. I was missing the community and the game nights, both of which I found in Ludio. There’s quite the variety of games, and the folks who have joined are such fun that it’s not uncommon for a group to still be playing over 3 hours past the start time. I look forward to these nights every week and can’t wait to see how the platform and the group continues to evolve. Big thanks to Ankit and Kubrat for this space!

I love that I’ve found the Ludio community. The games on Ludio are a ton of fun, as are the people in the community. I discovered the game nights through meetup & felt instantly welcomed to the group. Everyone is friendly & we have a blast playing games together.
