Our Story

Red-Eye Mahjong started in July 2024 in the living room of my friends apartment with just five of us.

What started as a small get together quickly became a community.

And after a year of our weekly, Tuesday night mahjong sessions I decided to start hosting public events.

With the help of my friends and family, we hosted our very first public event at a bar named Lost & Found in St. Petersburg, Florida on May 13th 2025 and we have been hosting monthly events ever since.

There is something mystical about Mahjong.

  • It’s social nature

  • It’s strategic depth

  • It’s balance of luck and skill

Everything works in perfect harmony to connect people from across cultures and generations.

Our mission at Red-Eye Mahjong has always been clear:

Spread our love of mahjong to as many people as possible.

Whether you're a total beginner or you've been playing since you could reach the table, there is a seat here for you.

In a world that is increasingly divided and disconnected, our mission is to build a community that brings real people together to connect in real life.

And nothing does that better than Red-Eye Mahjong.
