Play On It 55: Share Your Voice in the World of Play
Welcome to Play On It 55, where games aren’t just pastimes—they’re worlds we shape, strategies we refine, stories we tell. Founded by Vaelric Tornhaven, a longtime advocate for the beauty of play, our platform offers immersive insights into the mechanics of games, evolving esports strategies, play-based genres, skill mastery hacks, and behind-the-scene wisdom from pro gamers. Housed at 3711 Redbud Drive, New York, NY, we’re open and listening 9 AM to 5 PM—and beyond, digitally. Whether you analyze win streak patterns or rejoice over a perfectly timed combo, this is where your voice finds a home.
Have a fresh take on gameplay evolution or a quietly revolutionary walkthrough? Have you mapped out the best loadouts or uncovered the philosophy of a sandbox world? You’re already one of us. And now, we invite you to share your voice with readers who, like you, believe that play is both joy and craft.
Why Write with Play On It 55?
Writing for Play On It 55 isn’t about chasing trends—it’s about illuminating them. We’re cultivating a thoughtful, joyful space for gamers, theorists, esports strategists, and mechanic tinkerers to exchange ideas, challenge norms, and marvel at what game worlds can be. If you love digging beneath the surface of interactivity, geeking out over AI behaviors, or exploring how players learn mastery (and then bend its rules), you’ve found your lair.
We believe that quiet joy—the patient mastery of skill, the calm of community play, the wonder of discovery—is as essential to the gaming experience as adrenaline and competition. If your writing reflects that ethos, it belongs here.
