Game servers

We run a few small game servers for our family and friends: things like Minecraft, Factorio, Terraria and Kerbal Space Program. They are private, invite-only, and run by a parent, not a company.

How it works

The servers are switched off most of the time and only start when someone wants to play. Approved members can start a server, stop it, or check whether it is running by sending a message to our WhatsApp game bot. Servers switch themselves off when nobody has been playing for a while.

Joining

You can only join if someone already playing invites you. They will give you the bot’s number. Send it a join request and one of the admins will approve it. Server addresses and other details are shared with members through the bot, not on this website.

WhatsApp is only for people aged 13 and over, so the bot is too.
