Below that is the full site map with all of the different pages on this platform. Most of these are accessible in the other navs too. But here they're all in one place, if you're into that sort of thing.
Jump in a virtual or IRL event, tournament, or league. Participate in a Quest (a gaming challenge that you can do any time). Channel 3 has something for all skill levels, including gaming-focused daily minigames.
Go to Events below to search for real-time tournaments or other events. Quests will show you offline challenges you can complete at any time.
Every once in a while, you may get lucky and get a "personal quest" at the top of your feed. Complete it for bonus xp, or simply dismiss it if you are not interested.
You may have friends here already, or you may meet your next lifelong squadmate here. Either way, Channel 3 is most fun when you find your people and can have friendly competitions and participate in challenges together.
Below you can navigate all the gamers, clubs, and causes on Channel 3.

Whether it's 1 to 2, or 99 to 100, leveling up is the best feeling in the world. On Channel 3, when you participate in quests, when your post gets 1Up'd, when you crush a daily minigame, you get XP. Get 1k XP, and you level up and unlock rewards. Rewards can be custom reaction GIFs, cool backgrounds, or prize wheel spins for IRL gaming gear or in game currency.

Playdate
2022-04-18
Playdate is a handheld video game console developed by Panic. The device features a mechanical crank and a black-and-white screen. The console was announced in May 2019 and was released in April 2022.
I'm giving this 5-stars because it's one of the most unique devices I've ever played games on. I was so intrigued when they announced it years ago and I finally got mine earlier this year. It's got a black and white screen. Nicer than a Gameboy but like, still black and white. And it has a CRANK. Lots of games use the crank for all sorts of odd and weird and fun gameplay mechanics. The scene on itch.io is booming with people making games for this device and I've sorta been blown away with how creative some people with with such a limited resources. It's cool. It's weird. It's fun.
