A house of your own — and a key for someone you love.

A little house to play in, right in your browser: an infinity pool on the terrace, a piano, a pet who wants the ball. Every room is free to try, with no sign-in. Keep it, and it comes with a key for someone you love.

A Gathered house at dusk: a lit villa, an infinity pool over the sea with a unicorn float, string lights, sunbeds and a trampoline.
The terrace at duskFree to try

Try it free

A house of your own. Choose who you are, then start on the terrace by the pool.

Try it free No sign-in, no card. Every room is open.

Put their name on the door. The key is theirs, and they never pay.

The same house, free to try first. They never pay.

It’s a link, so it arrives the moment you send it, even on the day itself.

A house for two

You in one city, them in another, and the same house.

Keeping the house includes a key for one person. They come in from their own phone or computer, wherever they are, and everything inside is shared: what one of you leaves, the other finds.

  • You light the fire. They come in and see it burning, and who lit it.
  • You leave a tune on the piano. They find it and play it back.
  • You fold a note into the jar. They take it out the next day.
  • When you’re both in, you see each other there, talk, and play the games for two.
  1. Try it free. Every room, no sign-in.
  2. Bring someone round for a day. Before you decide, invite one person in, free. They come from their own phone or computer, and you play together.
  3. Keep it. Free during early access, with just an email, and it comes with a key.
  4. Give the key to someone you love. They walk into the same house from wherever they are, and never pay.
Look round first

This is the house.

Drawn by the same code yours will be. Choose a room and tap the things in it. Every room is yours to try during early access, and they fill up as you use them: a painting on the wall, photographs on the cord, magnets on the fridge, a tune left on the piano.

The fire, the paintings, the grand piano, the record player, and the pet's favourite spot. Free to try.

Try it free →A house for someone →No sign-in to try it. Free to keep during early access, with one key.
The book

A book, gathered from everyone who loves them.

A private illustrated book for someone: one page from you, or pages from everyone who loves them, each on a painting, with voices and songs, and their photographs on a wall of lights behind it. For a birthday, a wedding, a farewell or a memorial, or for no occasion at all.

Making it, inviting people and sending it are all free during early access.

The house

Questions people ask.

Everything you keep or send during early access stays free for as long as Gathered runs. About early access.

Is the house really free to try?

Yes. The terrace, with its pool, and the living room are free to walk round and play in, with no sign-in. The other rooms are there to look into. During early access, keeping the house is free too: give your email address and every room opens.

What does keeping the house include?

Keeping the house opens every room and includes one key for one other person, and everything you did in the free visit is still there. During early access it is free: all it asks for is an email address, which becomes the house’s. A house kept during early access stays free for as long as Gathered runs.

What is the key?

A link for one person you choose. It lets them into your house, so the two of you can play the games for two, talk, and leave things for each other. They never pay, and you can always play on your own.

Can I make a house for someone else?

Yes. Choose “A house for” and type their name: it goes on the door, and the key is theirs. It is the same house, kept the same way, free during early access, and they never pay anything.

Do I need to install anything?

No. The house opens in the browser on a phone or a computer. On a phone you can add it to your home screen like an app.

Who can see my house?

Only you and whoever holds your key can go inside. From the street, a house shows the first name on its door and how its outside looks, nothing from inside, and you can rename the door or take the house off the street whenever you like.

What happens to a free house I don't keep?

It waits for you. A free house nobody has visited for 90 days is cleared away, with everything in it. A house you keep is never cleared.
