''This article is about the website. For the Frente! EP, see Whirled (EP)'

Whirled is a website created by Three Rings Design. It was announced at the Game Developers Conference in 2007. It is currently in the Open Beta stage, with a scheduled release later in the year. The principle behind the game is that it will be a web-based social world for chat and games, similar to the PlayStation 3 game Home. Where Whirled differs from other sites of a similar genre is that much of the content will be user created.

In this game, the users are able to create furniture, characters, decals and games, all of which can be used by other users. Then in 2014 New Haven Gaming Inc bought Whirled from Sega.
