What it is

Game Set Mahj is a free web app for organizing mahjong games and groups, built around how home groups actually play: players in fours, hosts who rotate week to week, and someone always needing to find a fourth. A host schedules a game, members RSVP, and the app sends reminders and calendar invites and bumps the waitlist when someone drops. It was started by a player named Jennifer; the company, Game Set Mahj, LLC, gives a founding date of May 2026.

Who it’s for

People who host or play in a weekly or occasional home mahjong game and are tired of coordinating it in a group text, and organizers who run several tables for a school, club or charity night.

Why it’s listed

It is a tool for running a home game, not a game or a venue. Its features and FAQ pages explain what it does in plain terms.

Scheduling: recurring weekly games with rotating hosts or one-off games, capacity in multiples of four, skill-level and game-type tags, and a date poll that turns the winning date into a scheduled game.
RSVPs and waitlists: one-click nudges for people who haven’t replied; when someone drops, the next person on the waitlist moves into the seat.
Reminders: each scheduled game sends a calendar invite with time, host and directions, plus automatic reminders before game day.
Items and tables: hosts list what’s needed (sets, snacks, drinks, chairs) and members claim items; up to twelve labeled tables per game, assigned by the host or self-selected.
Group pages: each group has its own discussion board, a chat per game, and space for house rules.
Any style: the FAQ says it supports American (NMJL), Chinese, Japanese (riichi), Hong Kong and other styles.
Price: the FAQ says it is currently free for all players, hosts and groups.

Notes

Home games listing: a scheduling tool; games are still played with your own tiles, racks and card.
Groups can be public or private: a public group appears in the app’s Mahj Near Me finder, where players can request to join; private groups are invite-link only. Only members see game locations and member lists.
Account needed: hosts and players sign up to use it; no account was created for this listing, so the app itself was not tried.
New service: founded in 2026; teacher profiles, a club directory and player ratings are listed as “coming soon,” and business features have a waitlist.
Name overlap: the app’s “Mahj Near Me” group finder is part of Game Set Mahj and is not the separate MahjNearMe website.
