We revive the games we grew up playing and bring families back to parks, together. Kids, parents, grandparents — everyone can play.
PlayHood is India's Family Play Movement — a community platform that uses traditional outdoor games to bring families back together. Every Sunday. Every park. Every generation. The games are the medium. Families are the mission.
The games that made our childhood are still here. We're bringing them back for the next generation — mapped to real fitness and wellness benefits along the way.
PlayHood's Game Science Framework currently maps 500+ traditional games to specific fitness and wellness benefits — growing toward our goal of 1000+.
This is Play-Based Family Wellness — a category we're creating.
A little time outside. A traditional game. Your whole family together.
For every generation. Free to join. Built around real parks. Powered by community.
Get a personalised game experience delivered to your family every week, plus additional PlayHood benefits.
I started PlayHood because I watched my own family sit in the same room, on four different screens, and realised we hadn't actually played together in years. Not because we didn't love each other — because nobody built a reason to go outside anymore.
So we're bringing back Lagori, Hopscotch, Gilli-Danda — the games that once filled every Indian park — and using them to bring families back outside, together. This isn't a company with investors and a big budget. It's one park, one Sunday, one family at a time. And it only works if you show up.
Our core community is, and always will be, free: joining the WhatsApp community, park meetups, and access to every game in our free games database cost nothing. We also offer an optional paid weekly game subscription (from ₹299/month) for families who want a game matched and delivered to them every week, plus access to partner health discounts — but that's entirely optional, never required to be part of the PlayHood community.
Joining free gets you into our WhatsApp community and invites to park meetups as they happen near you — that's the heart of PlayHood. Subscribing adds a personally matched game delivered to your family every week with instructions, eligibility for our 3-Month Family Challenge, and access to discounted health partner services. Think of the free community as PlayHood itself, and the subscription as an optional add-on for families who want more structure at home.
All ages. That's the entire point. We design every meetup so a 6-year-old and a 60-year-old can play the same game together. Bring the kids, bring the grandparents — the more generations, the better.
PlayHood isn't about fitness levels — it's about play. Every game is designed so kids, parents, and grandparents can all participate at their own pace. Nobody is judged. Nobody is left out.
No. Just bring your family, comfortable clothes, and water. That's it.
We'll keep you updated on play opportunities and meetups as they're organised in your city, plus occasional updates about new parks and games. We don't spam.
Join the WhatsApp community anyway. We're expanding city by city, led by local volunteers called Park Captains. Tell us your city when you join — you might just become the first Park Captain there.
No problem — just message us on WhatsApp and we'll swap it for a different match that week. With 500+ games in our database, there's always another good fit for your family.
Yes, anytime, no questions asked — message us on WhatsApp. Your subscription stays active until the end of your current billing period, and you won't be charged again after that. See our Refund & Cancellation Policy for full details.
Tell us a little about your family. We'll connect you to PlayHood on WhatsApp and keep you updated about play opportunities in your city.
Bring your family outside. Bring back the games. Become part of PlayHood.
