WUDD
The group stays and the game changes: a social game club for turning tonight into a beautiful memory.
01The problem
A good evening with friends or family often stalls on one question: what shall we play tonight? Every group has many tastes, every game has its own mood, and someone still has to find the rules, deal the cards and keep the score. A group, though, is not just for one game. It wants to play again, with the same people, and to carry on from where it stopped.
02The system
A social game club and game-night experience for groups.
WUDD is a game club built around the group. It starts from who is around and how much time there is, then suggests a few ideas that fit, with the reasons. Party games run on one device or in an online room. Classic tables run in a live room, where WUDD rolls the dice and deals the cards. Social games give each player their own device. A game night puts several games in a row for the same people, and around the games sit groups, gatherings, teams, tournaments and short lessons.
03Why it matters
The group stays and the game changes: tonight's game, a whole game night, the next meet-up and a friendly competition all live in one place.
Built for
- Friends and families
- Clubs and teams

04What it does
- 01
A game for every mood
Mafia, chess, backgammon, Drawing & Guess, Find the Spy, charades and more, from a quiet table to a loud group.
- 02
Game night
Several games in a row with the same people: a queue, a vote for the next game, breaks and each game's own result.
- 03
Clubs and gatherings
Private groups and listed communities with members, roles, polls and announcements, plus gatherings with RSVPs and a calendar file.
- 04
Competition and practice
Tournaments with stages, referees and standings under the organiser's rules, a separate ranking for every game, and short lessons on how to play and how to host.
05Product in action
Images come from the public website of WUDD. Where the venture labels something as illustrative, simulated or proposed, that label is kept.
06How it works
- 01
Find tonight's game
Say who is around and how much time there is, and get a few ideas that fit, with the reasons.
- 02
Tell the group
People join with a link, or because they belong to the room's group or gathering.
- 03
Play
Around one device, or in a live room with a device each, with video and voice when they are available.
- 04
One more round
The group stays, the game changes, and each game keeps its own result.
- 05
The next time
A new gathering, a team, a tournament or a practice round for the same people.
07What makes it different
WUDD treats the group, not the game, as the thing that lasts. Its look says the same: a masked host, a sealed envelope and rooms lit in cobalt, closer to a night out than to a casual games app. It also leaves the table to the people at it. In Mafia, WUDD deals the secret roles and offers a guide, and a human moderator runs the game.
08Trust and governance
Live rooms are private: they are never listed or searchable, and people join with a link or through the room's group or gathering. Some games work without an account, and member features need a free account with Google. WUDD says it never guesses a location, and a city is used only for business offers. Motion can be set to cinematic, calm or off, and a device's reduced-motion setting always comes first.

People
WUDD is the play venture of the people orbit, the one that begins with a group rather than an individual. It carries the founder's method into free time: start from a real evening, keep what a group does together in one place, and leave the game to the people playing it.
10Where it stands
In beta. Some games work without an account; member features need a free account with Google.
