Local Link Leagues (L3) is a simple, welcoming platform that helps people connect and play games together in real-world spaces like breweries, cafés, and neighborhood venues.
Most of us spend our time at home or at work. Local Link is built for the third place — the spots where you can relax, enjoy yourself, and connect with others without pressure or expectations.
No planning. No awkward sign-ups.
Just show up, check in, and play.
Playing with Local Link Leagues is as simple as showing up. No planning, no awkward sign-ups, no pressure.
Walk into a partner venue and grab a seat like you normally would.
Scan a QR code or tap an NFC tag to check in instantly — no app download required.
Want to play? Let others know you're available. Prefer to keep to yourself? That's fine too. You're always in control of your visibility.
Play casually or join a league. One player logs the game — everyone else is automatically included.
That's it.
You never have to plan ahead.
You never have to explain yourself.
You just show up and play.
Local Link helps venues build community without disrupting service or adding operational complexity.
Our inaugural pilot league launches January 21 with a Cribbage League at Forgotten Star Brewing Company.
This pilot is the first step toward building a broader network of welcoming, community-driven game nights across the Twin Cities — and beyond.
We're starting small, learning carefully, and building something meant to last.
Whether you're a player looking for a friendly game or a venue interested in hosting, we'd love to hear from you.
Get in touch and help us build something local, inclusive, and genuinely fun.
Local Link Leagues — where neighbors meet, link, and play.
