Who's bringing the extension cord? When does it start? What are we playing? The answers are buried somewhere between memes and voice messages. By Friday night someone is missing power, a seat or the pizza.

> A LAN near you?
Looking for a LAN party near you? Start one yourself.
GAMERDESK isn't a directory, it's your tool for organizing your own. Create a LAN, invite your people, and “we should do this again” becomes a date in the calendar. And if you want to see what others are planning, the overview lists all upcoming LANs.
Private LANs show up in the overview, but only members can open them. Only members see the location.
Invite by username
Find your people and invite them straight to your LAN.
Clear roles
Owner, organizers and participants: everyone knows who decides what.
Why LAN parties are still the best way to play
No lag excuses, no strangers in voice chat, just pizza, trash talk and that moment when the switch finally works. A LAN lives on good preparation, so all that's left on the night is playing.
Built by someone who organizes LANs himself.
