# Stop Texting "Who's In?" — Find a Game Near You Today

By RecLynk Team • July 18, 2026

Finding a game shouldn't take more effort than playing one. With RecLynk you can browse sessions near you on a map or list, filter by sport, day, and price, and join in a single tap. Free pickup runs let you join instantly; paid sessions take secure in-app payment.

## Browse what's near you

Open the Discover page and you'll land on a unified "Near You" stream mixing pickup and paid sessions, events, league games, and venues. Switch between List view to scroll and Map view to see what's genuinely close.

## Filter down to the exact game you want

- **Type** — All, Sessions, Events, League Games, or Venues.
- **Sport** — tap the sport icons to show only your game.
- **Time** — Any time, Today, Tomorrow, This Weekend, or a Custom range.
- **Price** — Any Price, Free, or Paid.

## Join a session in one tap

Free sessions join instantly — hit Join Session and you're in. Paid sessions open a secure in-app checkout powered by Stripe. Every session you join has its own group chat to coordinate before you arrive.

## Never miss a game again

Turn on proximity notifications and RecLynk pings you when a session pops up near you. Recurring runs repeat automatically, so you can join the series and keep your spot.

## Play today, on a whim

"Playing Today" is a real-time group of people playing your sport in your city today — chat live, propose a session, and vote on the plan. You can also ask the built-in AI assistant to find or set up a game for you.
