Tabletop Parlor
The Tabletop Parlor app is a digital place to explore the extensive game library the parlor offers, schedule and pay for your game tables, offering the option to create a safe and pet friendly environment to play with friends and/or meet new people.
Our goal is to allow working experienced and new users to schedule their activities, choose their games and play groups, easily & swiftly as they have little time to plan during the day.
Challenges:
* How to make the app viasually appealing and accessible to new users.
* Ensure users can book games from many points within the app.
* Provide to long time patrons a good place to check new games and review their favorite ones.
