LeelaRoom is a platform for Leela game facilitators that makes it possible to run full transformational sessions online. Create a game room, invite participants by link, and guide the game just as you would in an in-person setting.
To host the Leela game online, you need two things running simultaneously: a video call in Zoom, Google Meet, or any other tool — and the LeelaRoom platform for the game itself.
The optimal setup looks like this: the facilitator gathers all participants in one video call, just like a regular online meeting. At the same time, each participant opens the LeelaRoom game room link in their browser. This means everyone has two windows open at once: the video call for live communication, and the LeelaRoom app for the game.
Inside the app, each participant sees the interactive board, their own piece on the board, the dice roll button, and cell descriptions. The facilitator sees the same board — with all player positions and the full move history.
This setup works well because the roles of the tools are clear. The video call holds the conversation, tone, and group presence. LeelaRoom holds the board logic, player movement, and the visible structure of the session. Together they create a complete online format rather than a technical compromise.
Participants do not need extra software for the game itself. They open the room in the browser and join the process immediately. That low-friction entry is one of the reasons online Leela can feel professional and accessible at the same time.
Open the LeelaRoom app and create a new game room. You will be asked to choose a board format: the classical Leela board or the adapted psychological version.
The classical board follows the traditional 72-cell structure with original symbolism. The psychological version has revised cell descriptions developed in collaboration with a psychologist, making it better suited for coaching and self-discovery work.
Once you create the room, you receive a link. This is what you share with participants.
For the facilitator, this step is quick, but it sets the frame for the whole session. You can decide in advance whether the process should stay closer to the traditional symbolic logic of Leela or support deeper coaching and reflective work through the adapted version.
The room becomes the digital equivalent of preparing the physical space before an in-person session. Instead of arranging a board, pieces, and supporting materials in a room, you prepare one clean online environment that participants can enter in seconds.
Send participants two things: the video call link and the LeelaRoom game room link. It helps to send them together in one message in advance, so there is no time spent searching at the start of the session.
Participants join the video call first — just as they would for any online meeting. Then they open the LeelaRoom link in their browser, enter a name, and appear on the board. No registration is required.
Before the session starts, it helps to briefly walk participants through the interface: where the dice roll button is and how movement is displayed. This usually takes two to three minutes and removes any friction at the start of the session.
If you work with new groups, a short pre-session message can make the whole experience smoother: join the call first, open the board link second, enter your name, and wait for the facilitator to start. That simple sequence removes uncertainty and creates a calmer opening.
For facilitators, this also creates a reusable process. Once you have a clean way to invite people, the same structure works for private sessions, small groups, and recurring online circles.
Once everyone has joined, you can begin. The facilitator controls the pace — deciding when each participant rolls, commenting on their position on the board, and guiding the interpretation of each cell.
The platform shows each player's current position, move history, and dice results. This gives the facilitator a clear view of the game without needing to track anything manually.
In group sessions, participants take turns while the facilitator holds the shared space — noticing common themes across different players and weaving them into the group process.
In individual sessions, the facilitator and one participant move through the board together. The cell the participant lands on becomes the starting point for the conversation.
The online format does not reduce depth when the structure is clear. The board keeps the process visible, and the video call keeps the human connection alive. That combination lets the facilitator focus on meaning, questions, and interpretation instead of logistics.
LeelaRoom works well for both formats.
In an individual session, the game moves at the participant's pace. The facilitator can spend time with each cell, ask deeper questions, and let the session unfold naturally. There is no time pressure from other participants.
In a group session, the board becomes a shared map. Each player's position is visible to everyone, and the facilitator can draw connections between different participants' journeys. Group sessions tend to be more dynamic and create a collective shared space.
Both formats work well online. The platform handles the structure, and the facilitator handles the meaning.
For practitioners who host sessions regularly, this matters because the same tool supports multiple ways of working. You do not need one online setup for individual clients and another for group work. The platform can support both in a familiar and consistent flow.
A few things that make online Leela sessions run smoothly.
Check your connection before the session. A stable internet connection on both sides prevents interruptions during the game.
Use a headset rather than built-in laptop speakers. Audio quality matters in transformational sessions — it helps participants stay focused and present.
Keep the room link ready to resend. If a participant loses connection, having the link accessible means they can rejoin in seconds.
Start the video call a few minutes early. This gives everyone time to settle, ask questions about the interface, and shift into the session mindset before the board is introduced.
Let participants know the platform works on phone and tablet as well. They do not need a computer to join.
If you host sessions often, a short preparation checklist is worth keeping nearby: open the room, verify the link, remind people about the two-window setup, and prepare the call. Small operational habits make the session feel more grounded and professional.
LeelaRoom was built specifically for Leela facilitators. It brings the board, dice, and player management into one place so the facilitator can focus on the session rather than the logistics.
There is no need to coordinate multiple tools, share a screen, or track player positions manually. Everything needed to run the game is in one interface.
For facilitators who run sessions regularly, this makes online Leela a practical professional format — as complete as an in-person session, without geographical limitations.
In practice, that means a calmer and more reliable workflow. The less energy the facilitator spends on technical coordination, the more attention remains available for the participant's request, the symbolism of the board, and the quality of the session itself.
Create a LeelaRoom game room, send the links to participants, and run your next session in a clean professional online format.
Gather participants in a video call (Zoom, Google Meet, or any other tool) and send them the LeelaRoom game room link. Each person runs two windows simultaneously: the video call for live communication and the LeelaRoom app with the board, dice, and cell descriptions.
No. Participants follow the link, enter a name, and join the game directly. No registration is required.
Yes. LeelaRoom supports multiple players in one game room. Each participant has their own position on the board and takes turns during the session.
Any tool works — Zoom, Google Meet, or others. LeelaRoom handles the game board, and your video call handles the live conversation.
