game day, sorted.
Big game this weekend. Everyone wants to watch together. Nobody wants to be the one who plans it.
The group chat starts on Wednesday. “Anyone hosting?” Silence. Thursday: “So what's the plan?” Someone finally volunteers. “What time?” “What's the address?” “Should I bring anything?” “Is there parking?”
By kickoff, three people are lost and two forgot it was happening.
let the poll pick the house.
Nobody volunteering is a decision problem, not a hosting problem. Drop a poll in the group chat — “Mike's, Jake's, or the sports bar?” — and let the group commit somebody. When the poll closes, a banner above the thread turns the result into a real event with everyone in the chat already invited.
Thirty seconds, and the thing that usually takes until Friday is done.
the snack run, divided.
“I'll bring something” produces four bags of chips and no ice. Put it on the event as a Tasks list instead — wings, ice, the good salsa, whatever's on tap — and assign each line to a name. Two people splitting the beer run each get their own checkbox, so neither shows up empty-handed assuming the other one went.
a headcount before you shop.
People RSVP Going, Maybe or Can't, and the event header shows the count. That's how many chairs you need and how much food to buy — not a guess based on who reacted with a thumbs-up.
Anyone not on the app gets the link. They open the full plan in their browser, RSVP from there, and install only if they want to.
nobody misses kickoff.
Game day, everyone taps Navigate and their maps app opens with directions and parking notes attached. Anyone running behind can opt in to share an ETA, so the host knows whether the last two are ten minutes out or not coming — and whether to hold the food. Minutes only, no map, no coordinates, and it stops on its own once they arrive.
works for any game, every week.
Super Bowl. NBA playoffs. World Cup. Champions League on a Tuesday. Your buddy's UFC card. The planning chaos is identical every time, which is exactly why the fix is too — and once the season settles into a routine, Repeat Event on last week's watch party re-invites the same crew in one tap.
Stop planning game day in the group chat. Poll it, create it, watch the game.
