Grounded 2 Wiki
Welcome back to the micro-world! Just when you thought you'd tamed the backyard, Grounded 2 throws you into an even larger, more perilous challenge: The Playground. This once-familiar landscape of swings and slides is now an untamed wilderness of colossal, nature-reclaimed structures. Navigate with your buggies that fight alongside you, uncover long-forgotten secrets, and battle for survival against new, terrifying creatures. The playground may seem innocent, but beneath its bright colors lie mysteries hidden in plain sight. Are you ready?
