Welcome to
The Gaming Playground.
We play a bit of everything — from flight simulators and large-scale battles to factory building, space spreadsheets and questionable engineering decisions.
About us
Games, servers and controlled chaos.
The Gaming Playground is a relaxed gaming community for people who enjoy playing, hosting and experimenting with games together.
You might find us flying in DCS, expanding a factory in Factorio, sailing in World of Warships, losing ships in EVE Online, building in Minecraft or trying to coordinate something in Squad.
There is no single main game and no serious commitment required. Join when you feel like playing, building or breaking something with us.
