This LFG tool enables people to find gamers fast, playing any game on any system. Based in New York, startup LFGer (a play on the LFG abbreviation in the gaming community, which stands for Looking For Group) helps users find others to play with. To use, you simply pick what game and console you wish to play on and let the LFG tool work its magic. You can also see what others are playing and join them.
The mobile-first platform is made for gamers, by gamers. It provides a solution to game mechanics not being able to match gamers.
