Everyone is invited to play and is already part of a team. The color of your name tag will tell you which team you’re on. There are 16 name tag colors. If you aren’t quite sure where you belong, it’s easy to find out. Just head over to the Winter Games Welcome Center and use the handy name tag sign. When you click the sign’s action tag, it will tell you what color your name tag is and also give you a link to join your team! This is a great way to meet people and make new friends.
Keep track of the daily points your color team earns by checking the official There Games Scoreboard. You can easily find and sign up for WTG events by clicking on the “Day” listed at the top of the Scoreboard. Day 1 through Day 10 will display the different events scheduled for each day.
We are still in the planning stages of the Winter There Games. You are welcome to join us on Tuesday nights for WTG Planning Meetings. They are held at the WTG Ampitheater in the Winter There Games Village. There will be a meeting every week until the WTG start. Stop by if you are interested in hosting or co-hosting a WTG event. All suggestions and feedback about creating fun and fantastic WTG events for the Thereian community are welcome!
We’ve done a little housekeeping in the Winter There Games Neighborhood on Frosty. We’ve upgraded it to the new Winter There Games Village. There’s several new places to explore and two of the original Winter There Games statues have been restored. Stop by and check out the new buildings in the Winter There Games Village.
