About The Plane Game
A social-first flight guessing platform built for aviation fans, map nerds, and competitive communities.
Our Flight Path
Bridging the Gap in the Hangar.
Founded in January 2026 in New York City, ThePlaneGame was born from a simple observation: most aviation tools are either dry technical monitors or solitary simulators. Founders Del Mear, Nicolas Nunes, and Rebecca Polak set out to build the "sweet spot", a place where the love of plane spotting meets competitive, social play.
The Philosophy: In a tech landscape obsessed with custom AI agents, we are focused on human connection. ThePlaneGame is designed to bring a disconnected community together.
