There Games Teams
How can I join a team for the There Winter Games?
Congratulations, you are already part of a team! We have 16 There Games teams based on the 16 avatar Name Tag colors. (The Name Tag is the colored bar over your avatar’s head where your see your name.) Everyone has a Name Tag color that is randomly generated when you join There.com.
What if I can’t figure out what my Nametag color is?
If you aren’t sure what your Name Tag color is, it’s easy to find out. Just head over to to the Winter Games Welcome Center and find one of the handy Name Tag signs.
When you click the sign’s action tag, it will tell you what color your Name Tag is. Once you know your Name Tag color find your team club listed here. Joining your team’s club is a great way to meet people, make new friends and keep up to date with what’s going on.
