Bored? You are not alone

Timepass is a very Indian word for a very universal need. Timepass Chat is the lightest room on Cafe Chat: no deep topics required, just jokes, word games, antakshari and whatever silly argument the room is having today.

It is especially lively during lunch breaks and late evenings, when half of India is pretending to work or pretending to sleep.

Games people play here

Antakshari in text, where each song has to start with the last letter of the previous one. Would-you-rather questions. Guess the film from three emojis. Two truths and a lie. Nobody keeps score, which is part of the fun.

When timepass turns into friendship

A surprising number of good friendships started as timepass. If you click with someone, take it to a private chat, or move to Friends Chat. For a quieter late-night vibe, try the Night Chat room.
