Jubensha · For Game Masters
Prepare with the game’s GM materials, then guide your group with chapters, clues and session tools in the Anzir App. You bring the story to life, one table at a time.
A guide to hosting venue-based Jubensha sessions with Anzir.
People at the centre
A Game Master helps a group enter the same world. Reading the story is the starting point; listening, explaining and responding to the people at the table are part of the craft.

Prepare before the session, then keep the materials you need within reach while you host.
Example screens from an existing game. Materials, interface details and access vary by game and version.
From preparation to play
The game’s own GM guide is your reference. This is a practical starting sequence; give yourself time to prepare before inviting a group.
Match the group size, language, duration and style to your players. Confirm the version, venue arrangements and game access before making a plan.
Read the GM guide and character materials. Walk through important reveals, prepare any required props or media, and check devices and the connection.
Select the venue, then confirm the game in the App to create a room. Review the venue’s balance and game costs, set the play time, and invite your players. Creating the room does not begin play.
Explain how the session works and confirm roles. Follow the game’s flow, share materials when needed, and make room for questions and participation.
Give the group time to discuss the experience. Note what you would change in your preparation, explanations or pacing before hosting again.
Your next step
You don’t need to own a venue to become part of its hosting team. Your next step depends on your experience and the people you’ll host with.
Open Anzir and check your venue association or invitations. If you need to join, search for the venue in the App and apply. Your venue must approve your association and grant hosting access before you can select it to host.
Get the Anzir AppStart by playing a session and getting to know the role. Find a venue, speak to its team about preparation and practice, and agree the requirements before taking on a game.

Before you begin
No. You can work with an existing venue. For venue-hosted sessions, your association and hosting access must be confirmed by that venue. Creating or submitting an application is not the same as being approved.
Preparation and performance requirements depend on the game and venue. Discuss practice and support with the venue, and start with a game you can prepare well. Some games call for character performance; others focus more on explanation, discussion and deduction.
Read the game’s GM guide and relevant character materials, check the required group size and full runtime, and rehearse key transitions. Confirm any props, media, devices and connection requirements in the game’s instructions.
Use the website to explore games, understand the role and find venues. Venue association, preparation materials, room creation and live hosting tools are in the Anzir App, subject to your account and game access.
Check the selected game and venue in the App before hosting. Content access and per-session play can have different conditions. Review the available price and paying venue, then follow the final confirmation before starting; creating a room does not begin the game.
