About Playra

We got tired of
chasing courts.

We're two students at LUMS who have played sport our whole lives. Playra is the thing we kept wishing existed.

The courts were there. The players were there. Everything between them was broken.

Anyone who organises the game knows the drill. You message a ground. You wait. An hour later someone replies that 9pm went this morning. You try the next place. You ask the price, because it is nowhere. You send the location to six people, four reply, two show up, and you are the one collecting money afterwards.

None of that is playing. It is admin, and it is the reason a game that everybody wanted quietly does not happen.

So we built the version we wanted: every venue in one place, slots that are genuinely free rather than probably free, the price before you commit, and a booking that is confirmed the second you make it.

What that means in practice

  • Ten sports, one flow. Futsal, padel, cricket, football, karting, bowling, gyms, gaming cafés and experience centres — all booked the same way.
  • No booking fee. You pay the venue's price. We do not add anything on top.
  • Short a player? Open your slot up. Others join, everyone pays their own share, and the game still happens.
  • A minute, not an evening. Find, book, done — instead of a thread that runs until midnight.

Where we are

Lahore, and properly rather than partly — DHA, Gulberg, Johar Town, Bahria Town, Model Town, Cantt, Wapda Town, Allama Iqbal Town. We would rather one city worked well than five cities half-worked. The rest of Pakistan comes after that.

One app. All play.

If you run a venue in Lahore, we would like it on Playra. If you just want a game this week, that part is already working.
