"Finally, a Saturday plan that isn't another café."

"I was skeptical. Renting board games sounded like one of those ideas that makes sense on paper and dies in practice. Then we tried it for my girlfriend's birthday picnic. Six people, two games, four hours, total cost less than dinner for two. The novelty alone earned the night."
— Emre T., 26, Yıldız Technical University
"My friend group has a chat called 'so what are we doing today' that's been active since 2021. PlayDrop is the first app that has actually answered the question. We've used it four weekends in a row now — Bebek sahil, Caddebostan, twice in Yıldız Park. The courier always finds us, even when our pin is sketchy. The deposit-in-wallet thing is smart too; once that ₺200 is sitting there, you stop asking yourself whether to order again — you just do it."
— Selin K., 23, Koç University
"I dropped a pin in Maçka Park at 3 PM. By 3:18 we were playing Codenames. This shouldn't be possible in Istanbul, but it is."
— Can E., 24, ITU graduate student
"What I didn't expect was how it changed the vibe of being outside. Normally after thirty minutes everyone's on their phone. With a game on the blanket, three hours pass and nobody has checked Instagram once. I don't think PlayDrop knows it's selling that — but it is."
— Zeynep Ö., 21, Bilgi University
Good for new stores testing the platform

When you rent a game, a deposit is charged to your PlayDrop wallet. It covers the replacement cost of the game. Once you return the game undamaged, the deposit is automatically returned to your wallet balance — instantly, with no manual steps required on your part.
If a game is returned with damage, the store owner reviews the case and a portion or all of the deposit may be retained to cover repair or replacement costs. All games are photographed before dispatch to ensure a fair, evidence-based assessment for both sides.
Delivery radius varies by partner store but is typically 5–8 km. Before you order, the app shows which stores can reach your pinned location along with estimated delivery times — so you always know what to expect upfront.
Yes! Extend your rental right from the app, subject to availability. Extensions are charged at the hourly rate. You'll receive a reminder notification before your rental expires so you have time to decide whether to extend or wrap up.
Head to the For Owners section above and choose the plan that fits your store. Fill out the partner application and our team will reach out within 48 hours to set up your store profile, game inventory, and delivery zones.
The minimum rental period is 1 hour. Rentals come in 1-hour blocks up to a maximum of 4 hours. If you finish early, you can request pickup anytime — your remaining time won't be refunded, but there's no extra charge either.
Each partner store lists their own catalog. Typical offerings include strategy games (Catan, Ticket to Ride, Pandemic), party games (Codenames, Dixit, Wavelength), and family classics. The catalog varies by store and grows as more partners join the network.
Return the game undamaged and your deposit appears back in your PlayDrop wallet instantly. From there, use it toward your next rental or withdraw to your bank account — withdrawals are typically processed within 1–3 business days.
Each plan includes a base number of game slots (Free: 2, Pro: 3, Pro Max: unlimited). A slot represents one game listing in your store. Need more slots on Free or Pro? Add extra slots for ₺200/month each.
