Whirled

Whirled is Three Rings' third online project, a web-based social world for chat, games and player-created content. Whirled is currently in open beta, meaning it is open to the public for testing. Whirled activity is based around social groups and the currency they produce and consume. Currency can be earned by doing things like playing games with friends, earning achievements or uploading and selling new content.
