We find the gamers near you who play what you play. Not a generic meetup. A room full of people who already share your interests.
No spam. We'll never sell your personal information. We'll only email you when your region launches. Roost is for adults 18+.
You just took the first step. We'll email you when Portland goes live. It won't be long.
Pick your metro area and tell us what you play. We drop you into a local crew of gamers with overlapping interests. No searching, no swiping.
We map exactly how your gaming interests overlap with real people near you. Not a generic gamer group. Specific overlap, down to the games you actually play. You'll know there are 14 Elden Ring fans nearby, but you can't DM them. Yet.
We organize local meetups at real venues like cafés, gaming lounges, and parks. Show up, meet your crew face-to-face, and unlock the ability to actually connect with people you've met.
The post-COVID world left a lot of us with full Discord servers and empty weekends. We're more connected than ever and lonelier than ever. But gaming is the most specific shared interest on the planet. Nobody bonds over "I also like video games." They bond over "you play Baldur's Gate too?" Roost starts with that specific connection.
You can't DM anyone. The only next step is showing up.
Nothing to scroll. Open the app for events, close it after.
Contact info unlocks only after meeting someone in person.
We don't optimize for screen time. A "boring" app that gets you out the door is the goal.
Roost was started by a gaming industry veteran with a background in behavioral science who kept seeing the same thing everywhere: millions of gamers deeply connected online but completely isolated in real life. The research is clear that shared interests are the strongest foundation for lasting friendships. But nobody was connecting people by the specific games they play and putting them in the same room. Not a generic gaming group. Actual overlap, down to the titles. So we're building it. Portland is first.
