Creating an account on Witt & Play takes under a minute. You can sign up with an email address and password, or skip the form entirely and continue with Google or Apple. Once your account is active, a short onboarding flow helps you tune your feed so the right games surface for you right away.

Sign up with email

1

Go to the sign-up page

Open Witt & Play and select Sign up from the authentication screen.
2

Enter your email and password

Type a valid email address and a password of at least 6 characters (maximum 100). Your password is validated before submission — you’ll see an inline error if either field doesn’t meet the requirements.
3

Submit and check your inbox

Click Create account. Witt & Play sends a verification link to the email address you provided.
You won’t be signed in immediately after submitting. You’ll see a “Check your email” screen instead. You cannot access your account until you click the verification link in the email.
4

Click the verification link

Open the email from Witt & Play and click the verification link. This confirms your address and signs you in, redirecting you to the app.
Didn’t receive the email? Check your spam folder, then use the Resend verification email button on the confirmation screen to send a new one.

Sign up with Google or Apple

If you’d prefer not to manage a separate password, you can use an existing account.
1

Choose your provider

On the authentication screen, click Continue with Google or Continue with Apple.
2

Authorize access

Complete the sign-in flow in the popup or redirect. Google opens a standard Google sign-in screen; Apple goes directly to Apple’s native sign-in screen.
3

Land in the app

After authorization, you’re redirected back to Witt & Play and signed in. No email confirmation step is required for OAuth sign-ups.

What happens after sign-up

Once your account is created and your email is confirmed (for email sign-ups), two things happen:
  1. Referral tracking — if you signed up through a member’s referral link (a ?ref= URL parameter), your profile is automatically linked to that member.
  2. Onboarding redirect — on your first login, you’re directed to the Welcome page to complete your preferences before you start browsing games.

The onboarding flow

The Welcome page is where you tune your game feed. You only see it in full on your first login, but you can return to update your preferences at any time from Profile or by navigating directly to /welcome.
1

Pick your categories

Select one or more game categories: Racquet & paddle, Team sports, Lawn & outdoor, or Cards & tabletop. You must pick at least one to continue. Selecting a category reveals the individual sports within it so you can fine-tune further.
2

Select individual sports

After choosing a category, tap any sport you want to see in your feed. Deselecting a category automatically removes all of its sports from your selection.
3

Set your location

Enter your city and state manually, or tap Use my current location to auto-detect them. On mobile, Witt & Play prompts for location automatically on first load if you haven’t set a city yet.
Your city and state are geocoded to coordinates so Witt & Play can calculate distances to nearby games. If geocoding fails (the city can’t be found in the selected state), you’ll see an inline error and need to correct the entry before saving.
4

Set your search radius

Use the slider to choose how far out you want to see games — from 5 miles to 100 miles. The default is 25 miles.
5

Write an intro (optional)

Add a short blurb (up to 500 characters) introducing yourself to the community. You can also use the Generate with AI button to draft one based on your display name, selected sports, and location. See New-members spotlight for details on the opt-in feature.
6

Save and start finding games

Click Start finding games. Your preferences are saved and you’re redirected to the main feed.
By continuing through onboarding, you agree to Witt & Play’s safety standards and code of conduct.

Next steps

Your account is created and your feed is set up — but before you can join or host a game, you need to verify your identity.

Complete verification

Work through the five-step checklist to unlock joining and hosting.
