What makes a good group chat name
- Short: it has to fit on a phone's chat list without being cut off.
- About your game: the day, the pitch or a moment everyone remembers beats a name from a list.
- Nothing that would embarrass anyone if a partner or a boss saw it on a lock screen.
- Changeable: a new season is a good excuse for a new name.
Making the group chat work
The name is the easy part. The hard part is the same question every week: who's in? A message with a deadline ("in or out by Thursday 6pm") gets more answers than an open question, and a poll beats counting replies.
Squadcard was built to sit next to the group chat: post one link, players say in, maybe or out without installing anything, and the teams, results and player cards go back into the chat to share. Need a name for the team as well? Try the team name generator.
