Question 4

Can Game Set Mahj help me find a mahjong group to play with?

Question 5

How does privacy work for my mahjong group?

Who can see my mahjong group's details — games, locations, members?

Only group members can see the inside of your group — game schedules, locations, member lists, discussion threads, and item coordination. Non-members who find a public group through Mahj Near Me see only the basic group info (name, description, area, what you're looking for) before they request to join. They never see private details unless approved as members.

What types of mahjong does Game Set Mahj support?
