our story
from a cozy idea to New Zealand's friendliest gaming spot
it started with a kiwi and a dream
TopGamesNZ2026 wasn't built in a boardroom — it was born in a small apartment in Wellington, during a rainy winter. Two friends, a laptop, and a simple question: why is online gaming so complicated and full of money talk?
We wanted a space where anyone could just play. No sign-ups, no credit cards, no stress. Just fun, free games that feel like hanging out with friends. So we built it.
If it's not cozy, it's not us.
by the numbers
100% free, 100% kiwi-made, 100% for fun.
our journey
the beginning
First prototype launched with 3 games. Just friends and family testing. The feedback? "Make it cozier." So we did.
public launch
Opened to everyone in New Zealand. Hit 100 players in the first week. We knew we were onto something.
growing up
Added 10 more games, improved accessibility, and formalized our responsible gaming commitment.
today
Still small, still cozy, still free. Now with more players, more games, and the same mission: fun without fuss.
what guides us
cozy first
Everything we build starts with one question: does this feel welcoming? If not, it doesn't ship.
community
We're not a platform — we're a club. Players aren't users, they're members.
responsible
Free doesn't mean careless. We take 18+ and player wellbeing seriously.
no stress
No timers, no pressure, no fomo. Play when you want, stop when you want.
kiwi made
Proudly built in Aotearoa. Our roots are here, and we love supporting local.
forever free
We'll never charge. No microtransactions, no subscriptions, no surprises.
