🎉 Click and You’re In
To help your team easily reconnect and share joyful moments together, we’re creating fun new team socials within Gather. One of our new experiences is Hip to be Square, a colorful competition to claim the most squares for your team. Just head to the Team Socials page, select Create social, and you’ll instantly have a social Space ready to share.
Remember, Gather Socials for Teams are completely free for teams under 25 people!
🌳 A Lark in the Park

As you’re exploring Gather Socials, you may stumble upon a fun-filled park Space. In this park, we’ve hidden all kinds of new features and classic games, including poker and Draw Battle. If you find yourself in the park, share the URL with your team to explore this interactive Space together.
