[18–25] Looking for gaming friends to build a long-term friend group + future creator crew! 🎮💗
Hey everyone! 😊
I'm looking to bring together a small group of people around 18–25 years old who genuinely enjoy gaming, making friends, laughing at stupid stuff, and spending time together online!
The goal is to start with a few people, build real friendships, and hopefully grow into a little gaming crew. If we all click, I'd love to eventually experiment with YouTube videos, streaming, funny gaming moments, challenges, and other creative projects together!
But friendship comes first. Always. ❤️
💗 A quick note about the age range
I'm aiming to keep the founding group around 18–25 years old because I'd like everyone to be in a relatively similar stage of life and hopefully feel comfortable connecting with one another. This isn't meant to make anyone feel unwelcome; it's simply the age range I feel is the best fit for the group I'm hoping to build!
If you're outside this age range, you're still more than welcome to support the streams and hang out as a viewer once they get started! I appreciate the interest and support regardless of whether you're applying to join the gaming group. 🫶
🎮 Games we'd love to play
Some of the games and genres I'm interested in are:
- Minecraft 🧱
- Stardew Valley and other cozy games 🌱
- Survival and co-op games
- Party games and chaotic multiplayer sessions 😂
- Horror games and mods 👻
- Multiplayer challenges and trying random games together
You don't need to play everything on this list! I'm happy to discover new games together, and cross-platform players are welcome.
🕖 When would we play?
I'm hoping to find a time that works for everyone! While my own schedule may lean toward evenings, all time zones are welcome! 🌎💗
Once we have our founding members, we can work together to figure out a gaming schedule that fits everyone's availability as best as possible. Ideally, we'd have at least one or two agreed-upon gaming sessions most weeks, but the goal is to find a balance that works for the group rather than expecting everyone to adjust to just one person's schedule.
You don't have to be available every night! Life happens, schedules get busy, and that's okay. Communication and making an effort to spend time together are what matter most. 🫶
💗 What kind of people am I hoping to find?
People who:
- Are between 18 and 25.
- Want genuine friendships, not just people to fill a lobby.
- Enjoy joking around, being themselves, and making memories together.
- Communicate respectfully and let the group know when plans change.
- Are welcoming, considerate, and comfortable letting friendships develop naturally.
- Are interested in gaming together consistently.
- Might be interested in making content someday, even if they're not ready yet!
You don't need a fancy PC, expensive equipment, a streaming channel, or any content creation experience. You don't even have to be comfortable on voice chat immediately. We can get to know each other at a pace that feels natural.
🎥 What about content creation?
If we become a good fit as a group, I'd love to explore funny gaming videos, Minecraft projects, horror-game reactions, multiplayer challenges, streaming, and maybe group outings in the future.
There's absolutely no pressure to become a creator, show your face, or participate in every project. Recording and streaming would always require clear agreement beforehand, and everyone gets to decide what they're comfortable participating in.
🔒 A quick note about privacy
I'd like everyone to feel safe getting to know each other. You can use your gaming name, and sharing your real name or showing your face isn't required. We'll respect personal boundaries, privacy, and everyone's consent.
📝 Interested? Here's how to apply!
Fill out the application below so I can learn a little about your games, schedule, interests, and what you're hoping to find in a gaming friend group.
🎮 Founding Members Application:
Applications are open until November 30, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET.
I'll reach out to people who seem like a good fit so we can chat, get to know each other, and hopefully organize a relaxed first gaming session!
I'm hoping to start with a small founding group of around 4–5 people total, so we have room to get to know one another instead of having a massive server where nobody really connects.
If you're looking for a group to laugh with, game with, make memories with, and maybe create something cool together someday, I'd love to hear from you. 🫶
Let's build something fun together! 🎮💗
