Questions about Slaydate

Yes! Slaydate is completely free to use, and will always be free for people running a single game at a time. There are no ads, no marketing trackers, no email harvesting, nothing like that.

Send them your link, it’s easily available from your event. There’s no account creation required: they enter their email, click the link in their email and enter their name, and they’re on the waitlist.

Yes! You can have as many rooms as you like, each with their own waitlist and description. This is perfect for groups that have a beginners room and an experienced room, or just need to run more than one game at a time.

Nope. it’s 100% optional, but using it opens up some very fun possibilities.

At this time, not through Slaydate. I'm looking into how this could be handled in the future, though. If you run paid BotC events, I'd love to hear about it! Email hello@slaydate.com.

There is! Slaydate supports passkeys, just click on the avatar on the top right and select Profile. You can set up a passkey there and will then be able to login immediately, rather than receiving an email.

Yes! We support posting events to Discord via Webhooks. It's easy and secure to set up, and can automatically send messages when events are opened for signup or cancelled.

It‘s an easy to use, Blood on the Clocktower-focused event planning tool. it supports room limits, multiple rooms, waitlists and more. and it have a super cool integration with the Blocktower app.

Players sign up for your game, but can't see the details until you accept them. You have complete control over who joins.

Slaydate has a day-of door mode, designed for mobile phones available on both the Event page and the Storyteller page. This allows you to manually check people in as they arrive, or to scan the QR code on their ticket.

It sure does! Tickets have "Add to Apple Wallet" and "Add to Google Wallet" buttons so that they can be quickly pulled up. The day-of door scanner works identically for normal QR code tickets or Wallet tickets.

I run a monthly Blood on the Clocktower game for friends. I'm also a regular player at a weekly group with three rooms at different skill levels. Every week, every room fills up fast.

Same game, two very different scales. Every time I tried to organize my monthly game in a group chat, things got missed. Wires got crossed. The existing event-planning tools were built for ticketed conferences, they didn't understand that a couple of cancellations or no-shows can completely change the dynamic of the game.

So I built the tool I wanted for my monthly game, while making sure it could also handle my weekly group's three rooms. Same game, different scales, one tool.

Not at the moment. Slaydate is a web app only, but interfaces with Blocktower, an iOS app with useful tools for Storytellers, including vote counting and nomination tracking.

I designed Slaydate to solve actual problems I had with exiting solutions. Most event tools are generic and don't understand the unique seating requirements of a Blood on the Clocktower game. Everything about Slaydate was designed with hosting this unique game, starting with the default admittance limit of 15 people, to the ability to have Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced rooms in a single event without jumping through hoops, each having its own waitlist and the ability to shuffle people around.

Also, the post-event gameplay summaries are something truly unique, and unlike anything you can find elsewhere. You really need to see one to appreciate how evocative it is, allowing people to relive the excitement of their games.
