Our Roadmap
Welcome to the Gametime Hero Public Road map!
At Gametime Hero, we exist to build stronger communities by connecting people together. Whether you’re hosting your first event, organizing a growing league, or looking to meet new people in a new city — this road map is for you.
This is your inside look at what we’re building, what’s launching soon, and what’s on the horizon. Everything here is guided by one simple goal: to make organizing and participating in community events easier, more inclusive, and more fun.
🎯 Product Vision
We envision a world where anyone — from a first-time organizer to a seasoned league manager — can create meaningful connections through recreational activities. By 2034, Gametime Hero will be the most popular activity-planning app in the U.S., supporting millions of users across sports, games, hobbies, and communities.
🧭 Product Strategy
Our strategy focuses on:
• Empowering beginner and small-scale organizers with easy-to-use, all-in-one tools.
• Helping newcomers to cities, sports, or communities connect with others through events.
• Providing robust features that scale with users’ growth — from casual pickup games to full leagues and tournaments.
• Expanding through grassroots marketing, community ambassadors, and city-by-city rollouts.
We’re starting in Seattle and Minneapolis, focusing on Pickleball, Soccer, Board Games & Strategy Games, Tennis, and Ice Hockey.
🧪 Product Development Process
We follow a proven process that includes:
- Community feedback collection and idea validation
- Internal prioritization based on impact and effort
- Iterative design, prototyping, and testing
- Public releases with built-in measurement and feedback tools
🥅 Goals & Objectives
Our current product goals are designed to:
• Improve site reliability and performance
• Increase customer satisfaction through better UX and support
• Launch and scale league & tournament tools
• Grow platform visibility through partner and community integrations
🎯 Target Users
We’re focused on supporting two core user groups:
- Organizers of small or medium-sized events who are currently juggling multiple tools for scheduling, payments, communication, and registration
- Participants who are new to the area, new to a sport/activity, or just looking to expand their social circle
We aim to bridge the gap between organizers and participants with smart tools and community-focused design.
🕵️♀️ Competitor Awareness
We’ve explored similar tools like Meetup, TeamReach, Playpass, Team Cowboy, and OpenSports, and found that many lack:
• Beginner-friendly onboarding for organizers
• All-in-one solutions (payments + scheduling + comms)
• Custom tools for niche community sports like Pickleball or Tabletop gaming
• A focus on real-life connection vs. just listing events
This gap is where Gametime Hero shines.
