# Witt & Play: local sports and games with verified neighbors

> Witt & Play is a community platform for discovering, joining, and hosting local pickup sports and tabletop game sessions with verified neighbors.

Witt & Play connects you with real people in your neighborhood for the games you love. Whether you want to find a casual pickleball match on Saturday morning, join a weekly mahjong night, or host your own soccer pickup game at the park, Witt & Play is the place to make it happen. Every member is identity-verified, every game is listed by a real host, and every session is an opportunity to build genuine community where you live.

## Why verification matters

Every member completes a five-step identity verification checklist before they can join or host games. This isn't bureaucracy — it's what makes the platform trustworthy enough to meet strangers for a game in a park. You know the people you play with are real, local, and accountable.

<Note>
  You can browse Witt & Play without a verified account, but you need to complete phone verification before joining a game and all five verification steps before hosting one. See [Verification](/getting-started/verification) for the full checklist.
