Working Mahj is a social Mahjong club catering to the working player. Created by two sisters, we are designed to make learning fun, welcoming and approachable.
We host beginner classes, guided play, and social events focused on connection not competition.
We're 100% mobile so that you can learn the game in the comfort of your own home, or wherever you would prefer to play!
More than lessons, it's a social event. Gather your friends and discover your new hobby together.
Evenings, weekends, you name it! We work around your calendar, not the other way around.
Whether you're brand new to tiles or brushing up before game night, we've got a session for you.
