1 / 3Built interface — journey builder
Overview
Onboarding Playbook is a subscription that helps game communities turn new arrivals into regulars. It combines ready-to-use onboarding tools — a Discord welcome journey, a rules quiz, role selection, a mentor programme and week-one check-ins — with written playbooks that explain how to run each one and what to watch.
It is for community teams who see people join, read a channel or two and leave. The journey walks each member from verification to their first event, the quiz makes sure the rules are read rather than scrolled past, and mentors are matched by game, time zone and language. A dashboard shows where people drop out, so staff fix the step that loses them instead of guessing.
A new playbook, message pack or tool update is released every month while you are subscribed. If you cancel, updates stop and the licence to run the onboarding tools ends with the period you have paid for. Member data stays on your own host.
