WatchGuild

WatchGuild is a mobile + web app for hosting private, ticketed watch parties around live sports, esports, awards shows, and creator streams—without trying to “restream” the content. Hosts create an event page, set house rules, and run a structured experience: pre-show lobby, live chat with timed prompts, polls, prediction games, and post-show Q&A. Viewers sync their own legal stream/cable feed using a lightweight “sync check” (audio fingerprint + manual offset) so everyone reacts together. The product focuses on community moderation and host tooling: role-based mods, slow mode, auto-mute for spoilers, and quick ban appeals. Monetization is simple: ticket price, tips, and optional subscriptions for recurring clubs. It’s not a generic chat room; it’s a hosted event layer that sits on top of whatever people already watch.
