We’re back again with a jam packed update.
In our last update we deep dived into a bunch of new features. From your feedback, we can tell you’re loving them, especially the lobbies and Minigames!
In this update we announce a social media giveaway, share some free Minecraft experiences for your kids from our partners, inspire you with an awesome build, and teach your kids how to survive their first night in Survival mode.
Before jumping in we can’t help but sneak in one more exciting feature update: We just added the Bedwars Minigame! Along with the game, we have several curated maps to play in. Drop us a request and we’ll share the maps with you and help you set it up. (Hmm, might this be foreshadowing of an upcoming feature 🙂?)
Questions or comments? Contact us directly through our support page.

We believe that team sports are great for kids development and participation can have lasting life long impact. We love eSports because it’s more inclusive than traditional sports and kids love gaming. Gamer Prodigy partnered with us because we share the same values and we can provide the league with turnkey Minecraft hosting support.
To celebrate this launch, Gamer Prodigy is running the first season of their Minecraft Bedwars eSports League for FREE. Sign up today!
Give your child the opportunity to showcase their talents, make friends, compete in a friendly environment, and develop soft skills in a game they love!
