Here in the Search nav, you can.... SEARCH. Start typing a game or gamer, it will autosuggest. Press one to go, or hit Enter to get the full search results.
Below the searchbox, you'll see recent games, gamers, clubs, events, and quests you've visited.
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.
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.
If you'd like to create and run a Club, submit an New Club Request.
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.
Turbo is an optional subscription for superusers. You don't need Turbo to enjoy Channel 3. Turbo users get early access to new features, and are able to unlock more levels in a season.
On Channel 3, seasons last 3 months. They will always run January 1 - April 1, April 1 - July 1, July 1 - October 1, and October 1 - January 1.
Open channel3.gg in Chrome. Click the Install icon in the right side of the address bar:
Click Install when you get this prompt.
After installation, you can pin to the Windows taskbar alongside your other favorite apps.
Open channel3.gg in Safari. It has to be Safari.
Tap the Share button in the middle of the footer.
Tap Add to Home Screen.
Tap Add on the prompt.
BOOM. You're done. iPhones try to act like it's "just a website bookmark" because they want everyone to go through the App Store but really it functions just like an app... Full screen, moveable icon on your home screen. All of it.
Enjoy.
Install the Channel 3 app from the Google Play Store.
My kid goes to the same school as @joob kids. And I've been friends with his wife for a few years thru that connection. Well when I posted on my FB about wanting to connect with some folks on Switch o...more

I’ve been following The Dad probably since it was established. Being a new father in 2016, I was always appreciative of the relatable content that venerated fatherhood with a touch of humor and humi...more
It was a winding path (but one it seems like others were also on). My wife was a huge fan of the Dad content. She would share the posts with me regularly and we would chuckle. When the Dad gaming...more
I've been a gamer since I was a kid. But I joined the dad gaming y when my daughter was born. But when C3 was created, I held off cause I'd didn't want t another app on my phone, then a friend convinc...more
Heard about it originally through @8oh5 / @sneakz and then one night @evolvixon raided me.
I ended up giving Channel 3 a shot after some convincing from @buster and the rest is history.
What you may know is that @mariomaestro and I have been friends for most of our lives.
What you may not know is that Ryan Mac is a JERK! He was here for MONTHS before inviting me! 😡
The only logi...more
Someone in TDG kart gangs shared something about I believe Wednesday night racing on C3 so I signed up because at that point I was all about racing kart as much as possible. Took me awhile though bef...more
@legodad invited me at the beginning. I came in, looked around and stepped backwards in fear of its greatness. After a while, he was interviewed on the podcast, and I started hunting around a bit more...more
I just remember seeing a post from @joel saying message me if you want an invite to this super secret project I’m working on. No hesitation to message him immediately! The man even personalized my p...more
Joel asked the dad mods if anyone wanted to take a look at this secret thing and I said yes of course I want to be part of the secret thing. It started as Good Reads for me and even before "lists" wer...more
I followed the man himself @joel here because I knew if he created and led something as great as TDG, that a platform like this would end up being amazing. Now it seems is the home for all things TD...more
@joel did the thing, I asked what the thing was...
All kidding aside beyond that I've been hooked from Day 1.
It started as Letterboxd and Goodreads but for gaming, or at least in my eyes when I fi...more
I loved leading The Dad and The Dad Gaming. I am forever grateful I was in the right place and the right time and was able to bring together a talented group of creatives to make it happen. The honor ...more

Gather around boys and girls, I've got a story for you. One day, I was reading a substack on how The Dad came to be and all lived happily ever after from there.
I was part of TDG for a while but was never very active on social media in general. Was going through the process of some pretty big life changes in August 2022 and logged onto TDG Mario Kart to see w...more
I don't exactly remember who it was, I think it was @ohmyfavourite had shared something on Facebook about tthis new social media platform for gamers. Needless to say, I felt compelled to email Joel a...more
As anyone from the dad gaming and especially the rocket League subgroup knows, I have been a host/caster/mod with that group since the very early days. So when Joel told the mod group that he was part...more

So everyone knows @jedijohann. Well @liljediray started coming to church every Sunday and Wednesday asking me "where do you think this is on the fortnite map" turns out both me and @cayden were just h...more
One day looking through the MK Dad page, I saw that Joel mentioned a new venture and he spoke about it a bit. I ended up sending a message and next thing you know I have an account and here we are tod...more
Joel was like, “dude, I’m working on something new. You wanna check it out”
And I was like, “yea man, what is it?”
And hes like, “bro, it’s a new genre of social media with a focu...more
I don't even remember the original post I saw from Joel talking about Channel 3, but I knew of the TDG story, the community that Kart/Smash/Golf had had, and wanted to get into this next adventure asa...more
I remember visiting home and @joel started telling me about it and I had no idea what it would turn into, it's pretty amazing!! Love the C3 story so far.
Ditto @youngloganyoung , but a few months later!
Crazy to say we live in a world where college students can take classes learning about video games and how to livestream video games. What’s also ...more
I came over with a lot of folks from TDG. I was on a Kart Gangs team with @teets, @froggy as well as @joel at the time - who kept teasing us what he was up to (going pro at Mario Kart, starting Scary ...more
I was following the dad on socials and somehow came across a post from @joel talking about gaming and so I requested an invite. The rest is history, nerds!
@danioverhere 's fault. They introduced us via email. I just went back and read the emails and it was kinda cool seeing and hearing about Channel 3 before it was even a thing. Channel 3 was a "super s...more
@froggy shared a referral link on Facebook. Clicked on the link and the rest was history. I definitely can say that, he recruited me and I’m thankful for that.
@jedijohann needed more upvotes and respawns for a TotK video quest to beat @ganonslayer so he recruited from our boardgame group.
EDIT: Turns out it was @spinit2winit but the important part was ...more
My sister @kelseyb got me here because she told me to download the app when we were having our family Christmas get together. I didn’t understand it at first but now I’m here more often than other...more
I’m 90% sure it was @joel inviting me, but there is an 8% chance it was @dan and I leave the other 2% to one of you others I played Smash or MK with on TDG.
For once, "I blame @joob" isn't just a meme. We worked together a few years ago and stay in touch, and he mentioned this site. After months of not being convinced, I believe it was in s3 when the min...more
