Let’s face it. You can have thousands of online friends, but finding people who share your passion for gaming and live in your area? That’s like finding legendary loot on the first try.
Petronald Green (Owner of GamerGet.net) learnt that while making friends as an adult is hard, making friends who actually play the same games as you is even harder.
It’s a weird feeling, I’ll go to conventions and see hundreds of people who love the same stuff I do, So I know for a fact that they exist and they’re nearby, but I have zero way to actually find them to hang out with or just talk shop.
To solve this, I spent the last few months building GamerGet.net.
The idea is simple:
Once a day at 8AM (GMT) it recommends to you 3 other people who are into the same games you are.
It filters by location first, finding people in your actual town/city. It then matches you based on the games you actually play and the genres you specify that you enjoy.
We all know that scrolling through endless global lobbies or generic forums rarely leads to finding someone you can grab a pint with after dominating a raid, or someone who’s actually available in your timezone for a spontaneous co-op session.
GamerGet.Net bridges the gap between your online passion and your local community. They are built for gamers who want more than just a username on a friends list. GamerGet helps you discover and connect with fellow enthusiasts right in your neighbourhood (or the next town over!).
Hyperlocal Focus: The magic is matching you with players genuinely near you.
Real Connections: Go beyond the headset. Find people to play with online and potentially meet up with offline.
Curated Matches: Ditch the endless swiping. GamerGet provide quality over quantity, making finding the right connection easier.
Build Your Circle: Perfect for finding new squadmates, co-op partners, rivals, or just friends who speak your language (and understand your K/D ratio!).
Getting Started:
Craft Your Profile: Sign up for free, list your favourite games, platforms (PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, etc.), play style, and tell us if you’re looking for online buddies, local meetups, or both!
Receive Daily Local Matches: No overwhelming lists. Every day, GamerGet recommends 3 potential gamer friends specifically located near you, based on your profile.
Show Interest & Match: See someone who looks like a good fit? ‘Accept’ their recommendation. If they do the same…
Achievement Chat Unlocked: Once you both agree, chat becomes available! Coordinate your next game, discuss strategies, or plan that first local meetup.
Feel free to try it out. Sign up with your favorite character’s name and upload a photo of them. Select the games you’re currently playing and watch the magic happen tomorrow at 8AM (GMT).
