Play with people you already know

Want a game night with your own friends, family, or team instead of strangers? Starting and scheduling your own Ludio call takes just a minute.

Start a call in four steps

1. Make an account
   Free to create - you'll need it to start and schedule your own calls.
2. Start or schedule
   Hit "New Call" to play now, or "Schedule" for later. Choose public or private, and whether to allow guests.
3. Share the link
   Send the call URL to your friends. They click and they're in - no hunting for a meeting code.
4. Pick a game & play
   Choose from 100+ games, and you're off. You can swap games any time during the call.

Hosting questions

Public call vs. private call?

A public call is visible in the Ludio lobby, so anyone online can find and join it. A private call is invite-only - only people with the link can join.

Do my friends need an account?

Not necessarily. If you allow guests, people can pick "Continue as guest" when they open the call link - no signup required.

What does it cost to host?

Hosting uses a pass like any other day of play. If you bring guests who don't have a pass, there's a $4 charge per guest - so a private night with friends is inexpensive.

Can I make everyone join as guests?

Yes. There's a setting (and a link option) that sends everyone in as guests automatically, so no one in your group has to make an account. We'll show you how once you're set up.
