Three ways to browse
- Hot ranks worlds by recent activity and how complete their listing is. A world with a real description, a cover image, a genre and players who post shows up above an empty shell.
- Recents shows what was active most recently, for people who want a table that is awake right now.
- Random is for the days you want to be surprised.
Every tab has the same filter: a genre, from fantasy, sci-fi and horror to romance, slice of life, fandom and anime, and a language. Type a word into the search bar to match titles.
Peek before you join
Tap a world to read its premise, its discovery message from the owner, and its cast: which characters are in play and who plays them. You see how many seats are filled and how many are left. If it sounds like your kind of story, ask to join. Nobody drops into a world unannounced.
Owners keep their table
Listing a chat in World does not make it a free-for-all. The owner reviews every join request and can approve or decline it. They set the maximum number of participants, the language and genre, and a short message that shows on the card. They can kick and block, and any player can report a world, a listing or a user, even before joining.
Worlds marked 18+ are only shown to users who have confirmed their age in the app, and they never appear to anyone else.
Listing your own world
Any chat you own can be listed. Open the chat's settings, turn on Show in World, then give it what a stranger needs to decide: a title that says what it is, a description of the premise, a cover image, a genre, a language and a discovery message such as "Looking for two more players, long posts welcome". Complete listings rank higher in Hot, so the five minutes are worth it.
If you want more eyes for a while, you can boost a world with credits. A boosted world is shown above the rest of the Hot tab until the boost expires, and then drops back to its honest rank. Boosts are optional; a lively, well-described world does fine without one.
Frequently asked
Do I have to list my chat?
No. Chats are private by default. World is opt-in, per chat, and you can unlist at any time.
Can I chat with strangers safely?
You choose what to share. The app reminds you not to post personal details, every world has an owner who moderates it, and report and block are always one tap away. See our child safety standards.
