Getting Started 🎮

5-Minute Setup

    Fill in when you're arriving and leaving Chicago at the top. This hides events you can't attend.

  2. Take the Profile Quiz

    Click "Profile Quiz" to tell us your favorite game systems and preferences. We'll rank events you'll love higher.

  3. Browse events

    See filtered results on the left. The "Visual Schedule" at top shows your picks in a calendar view.

  4. Click "Add" to pick events

    When you find something good, click the "Add" button. It appears in your "Schedule List" on the right.

  5. Share or export when done
