What is an idiomatic translation of “Are you in?”

A friend recently asked me if I wanted to join a project he was working on. He ended with the sentence:

Are you in?

It was a succinct way of ending and asking for an answer. It got me wondering, what would be an idiomatic translation of the expression in Korean?

Verb 끼이다

끼이다

If the feelings you want the expression to have is not only just “doing the same thing” but also includes “getting in a group and going with them,” the closest one would be the one using 끼다, which is a contraction of 끼이다.

끼다

끼이다

끼이다 originally means to get stuck in a crack or a narrow place. Its derived meanings are to get into a group, and to get involved in a scheme, a work, or a happening by his own will.

끼이다

Note, it's not a slang, but is informal enough to sound slangy.

야, 내가 지금 프로젝트 하나 생각해 둔 게 있거든. Hey, I'm thinking of a project right now.

……

너도 낄래? Want to join?

저희가 프로젝트를 하나 생각해 둔 게 있거든요. We're thinking of a project.

……

선배도 끼실래요? You want to join, senpai?

저희가 프로젝트를 하나 생각해 둔 게 있거든요. We're thinking of a project.

……

괜찮으시다면 같이 하시겠어요? Will you work with us, if you don't mind?

I don't know much about nuances of English expressions, so sorry for that.

In dictionary style Korean it's 너도 할 것이니? but usually 너도 할 거야? is used and it doesn't have any grammar problem and 너 낄 거냐? is okay with friends.
