About

The room before the movie starts.

Multiplex is the internet's screening room — synced playback, live chat, and a six-character code that puts you in the room with everyone else.

Why we built this

The ritual we didn't want to lose.

Watching something together used to mean being in the same room. Multiplex is built on the bet that it still can be, even when everyone's scattered across four time zones: a host opens a room, shares a six-character code, and the picture, the chat, and the reactions stay in sync for everyone who joins.

We didn't build this because watching alone is bad. We built it for the nights when watching alone wasn't the plan — when a group chat and four desynced tabs weren't going to cut it, and what everyone actually wanted was a door to walk through together.

"Letterboxd warmth at Twitch scale, lit by a projector."

How we describe Multiplex internally
Who it's for

Two seats, same room.

Hosts

The ones who run the room.

Film clubs, anime nights, sports bars without the bar, creators building an audience one Friday at a time. Hosts want ownership: their name on the marquee, a following, a schedule, a page that feels like theirs.

Participants

The ones who pull up a seat.

Friends dialing in from four time zones, or strangers who found a room by browsing what's live. Participants want zero friction and a good night: type a code, take a seat, no installs.

How we build

What we believe.

  • The lights are always on somewhere

    The site always shows what's happening right now — who's live, how full the room is, what's about to start. It should feel like walking past open theater doors, not scrolling a catalog.

  • Hosts get top billing

    A host's name, their following, their schedule — these aren't buried in a settings page. On Multiplex, they're the marquee.

  • One code, that's it

    Six characters get you in. No account required to watch, no client to install, nothing to explain to the friend who just wants to see the movie.

  • Fun is craft, not clutter

    Every reaction, transition, and flourish is deliberate, and respects reduced motion. Fun is something we build carefully, not something we sprinkle on top.
