Meet the Playpeeps and Discover New Creative Content
A core mission of Campus Playfest is championing content creation, with a special focus on fun, episodic storytelling. Launching this year is Playground Wars, a three-episode creator series starring the Playpeeps: Buunja, Erin Cordovez, Humay, Ajax, Eivan, and Pomponmy. From hilarious classroom antics to heartwarming reflections, the Playpeeps bring campus life to the screen with humor and flair.
Fans will also get the rare chance to meet and hang out with the Playpeeps, along with creators under XLNZ Uprising. They’ll be roaming booths throughout the two-day event, dropping surprise prizes to attendees who complete their CCEPlay community quests.
Experience CCEPlay: A New Era of Gamified Engagement
One of the biggest innovations for Campus Playfest 2025 is the launch of CCEPlay, a new gamified engagement platform designed to connect and reward the community. Using digital passports, quests, surveys, playtests, and booth check-ins, attendees can collect points and earn perks—including entries to the Campus Play-migay raffles.
According to Benson Te, Co-Founder and CEO of WP/Gaming, CCEPlay is the culmination of years of work centered on unifying and empowering gaming communities.
“Play is at the heart of what we do, and CCEPlay is designed to elevate hands-on learning and engagement in gaming and technology. We’re only in the first phase, with even bigger plans coming in 2026.”
CCEPlay enhances booth interactions not only at Campus Playfest 2025 but for any partner brand looking to gamify customer experiences.
