Working Mahj is Phoenix's first mahjong studio built around the schedules, energy levels, and social needs of working moms. We bring the ancient game into your modern life.
Never played before? Perfect. Our curriculum starts from zero and moves at your pace — no pressure, no jargon.
We host sessions across the Valley — Scottsdale, Tempe, Gilbert, and more. Convenient locations that fit your schedule.
More than lessons — it's a crew. Connect with other working moms who get it over tiles and good conversation.
Evenings, weekends, lunch breaks — we work around your calendar, not the other way around.
I hadn't played a game — any game — in years. Working Mahj gave me something that's mine, a table full of women who get it, and a skill I'm genuinely proud of.
Whether you're brand new to tiles or brushing up before game night, we've got a session for you.
Lesson for players brand new to the game! We will go over the history, the tiles, and the rules that make this game addictive. This is a 3-hour lesson with 2 guided play games to understand play. That includes: how to use the NMJL card, how to deal, the Charleston, and of course how to work towards Mahjong! Recommended for a group of 4–8 people. Private lessons are also available. This lesson includes a 2026 NMJL card* for you to keep ($14/pp value).
