What it was created.

Play Play was created to inform adults about the many social, academic, physical, and mental benefits of play and to cater to queer people who experience social anxiety and who find it hard to meet people in the nightlife scene.

“As an early childhood educator, who is a fierce advocate and practitioner of play-based learning, I’ve seen how play is a natural facilitator in building connections, breaking the ice, and building intimacy and trust. I thought it was only right to remind my community of adults of the transformative power of play. With Play Play I hope to offer queer adults, the space and opportunity to attract authentic connections, heal their inner child and answer an intentional call to more active, nostalgic, flirty, healing and intensely pleasurable experiences.”
