YOUR TABLE, YOUR CHOICE
Meet new people. Or keep it to your group.
Ask for an open or closed table when you arrive. A small, two-sided flip sign on the table tells everyone whether they can join.
OPEN TABLEJOIN US
Green + means: you can join.
Anyone is welcome to take an available seat and play with you. Perfect for meeting people, finding a game group or arriving on your own.
CLOSED TABLEOUR GROUP ONLY
Red lock means: this group only.
Only your invited group plays at this table. Other guests cannot join. Choose this when you want time with friends or family.
Pick a side. Flip it when you like.
Tell your host which table you prefer, then face the sign toward the room. Flip it to green when you welcome new players, or red when you want to keep the table for your group.
Both choices are tables in the shared game hall. A closed table reserves your group’s seats; for an enclosed space, choose a Connect Room.

THE STORY BEHIND ĐI CHƠI
Meet the founder.
Megan “Maya” Garner
Founder and Business Development Lead
I fell in love with learning new languages because every new word opened a door to another person, culture and way of seeing the world.
Đi Chơi grew from a simple wish: that learning and meeting people could feel natural, fun and welcoming. I want this to be a place where friends come together, strangers become part of the community and everyone has someone to play, talk and laugh with.
Big dreams, a soft heart and a little bit of chaos. That is the spirit behind Đi Chơi.
