Played8 1.1.4

Played8 is a scheduling application designed to facilitate playdates for children by leveraging existing social connections. The platform functions similarly to a neighborly visit, where a simple check-in can determine a child's availability for social activities. Played8 aims to evoke the nostalgic feeling of spontaneous visits and outdoor adventures, encouraging children to engage playfully and screen-free.

Profiles

• Parents initiate by creating a profile for their family, specifying their children’s availability for playdates through the profile interface. This profile serves as the basis for sending and receiving invitations, streamlining the coordination process.
• Building a Community: Parents can import contacts from their phones, send friend requests, and expand their network within Played8. As connections grow, parents can observe and support ongoing interactions among their children’s friends, fostering a sense of community.

Communication Features

• The app caters to different planning styles: Some parents prefer to schedule playdates in advance using the Organize a Play Date feature, while others opt for more spontaneous arrangements through Broadcast My Fun.
• Organizing a Play Date: Setting up an event is straightforward—parents can quickly send invitations that include details such as theme, time, location, and participant responses. This feature simplifies the process by eliminating manual group chat creation and schedule matching. Important information is summarized clearly and can be synchronized with personal calendars for convenience.

Broadcast My Fun

• This function enables parents to communicate and share activities based on common interests, hobbies, or local events. It helps strengthen community bonds and promotes engaging experiences for children.
• Parents can choose to broadcast messages to a select group or extend their reach across the broader community, thereby enhancing opportunities for fun and interaction.
