About MahjNearMe
The story behind the only directory of pickup mahjong games in the United States.
The Story
From Jack, Founder of MahjNearMe
My mom plays mahjong all the time back home in Tulsa. She never has trouble finding a game there. But whenever we're out of town, it's a completely different story. There's just no easy place to look. She'll spend hours searching Facebook groups, Googling every spelling of “mahjongg,” and DMing strangers on Instagram just trying to find one game wherever we are.
It happened so many times that we finally said, there has to be a better way.
MahjNearMe is the first and only comprehensive directory of pickup mahjong games, open play sessions, lessons, and events across the United States. Whether you're at home or traveling, you can find a game in minutes instead of hours.
