Welcome to the
New York Society of Play!
NYSoP is a program where we use games like Pokémon and Dungeons & Dragons to foster social skills. We offer after school, holiday programs, and birthday parties at the FRONTIER GAMES store at 724 Manhattan Ave.
The games we play are social, have educational value, and are very popular with children. We teach social skills in these games using our social contract, composed of Safety, Trust, Respect, Cooperation, and Consent, we learn where these things are important, both in Play and in life!
The NY Society of Play is a great place for your child to find other kindred spirits; especially if they love fantasy or games.
We help children build strong communities that share their interests. Children of all abilities interact with the same classes and challenges as a community. With our expert Game Masters setting an example, your child will find a new role model, confidant, and friend!
Come visit us anytime at 724 Manhattan Ave.! Learn more at NYplays.org or by shooting us an email at [email protected]. Winter Classes begin on November 27th! Grab your seats today!
Stay up to date! Our 2023 Schedule Is Here!

Testimonials
I’ve been doing Dungeons and Dragons virtually with 4 other friends and the host. It’s really fun because you get to fight monsters every game and you get to choose your character, roll your own dice and cast spells…and get gold!

You can stay in hotels, travel to cities, do different quests and I think this should inspire you to sign up because this camp is pretty new and you should join because the hosts are really funny and so are the other kids.
