Gamer's Grotto entrance — The entrance to the Gamers' Grotto, which is North of Falador

The Gamers' Grotto is a cave located just north of Falador (east of Falador lodestone), which was released when the Wilderness was restored on 1 February 2011. It contains four popular minigames: Stealing Creation, Clan Wars, Cabbage Facepunch Bonanza, and a portal to Fist of Guthix.

The Grotto has a teleport via the Games necklace, and can also be accessed quickly via the Fist of Guthix teleport on the Ring of duelling.

The Mystic's Camp, where Stealing Creation is played, is in the North of the dungeon, in the largest room.

To the South is the portal to the Fist of Guthix minigame. Enter the portal and you will be teleported directly to the cave, and exiting the cave will result in returning here.

To the East is the Clan Wars area, along with Larry, who sells team capes to players. There is also a one-click Bank Chest in the corner of this room. North from the Clan Wars portals, there is a separate room containing the Cabbage Facepunch Bonanza starting area.

The dungeon was originally created on the return of the player vs. player Wilderness on 1 February 2011. The three minigames that were accessed via the wilderness prior to this update, Stealing Creation, Clan Wars and Fist of Guthix, were all moved into the new Gamers' Grotto so that players would not have to pass through the wilderness to play. Another new area, the Forinthry Dungeon, was similarly added on the same date to contain a large number of the creatures that had previously been possible to kill in the wilderness.

The area that once held Clan Wars now holds the Bone Yard, an area for F2P players to train the Prayer skill (This area was part of the original PvP Wilderness). The area that held Stealing Creation, south of the wilderness volcano, is now where the wilderness lodestone and a musician are found. The area that contained the Fist of Guthix, south of the Chaos altar, has changed very little.

Cabbage Facepunch Bonanza was later added to the Gamers' Grotto after an update on 6 March 2017. This moved the Bonanza from its original location just north of the Lumbridge crater, which was updated on the same date with to improve the appearance of the crater and surrounding area.

+The '''Gamers' Grotto''' is a cave located just north of [[Falador]] (east of Falador lodestone), which was released when the [[Wilderness]] was restored on [[1 February]] [[2011]]. It contains four popular [[minigame]]s: [[Stealing Creation]], [[Clan Wars]], [[Cabbage Facepunch Bonanza]], and a portal to [[Fist of Guthix]].
+The Grotto has a teleport via the [[Games necklace]], and can also be accessed quickly via the Fist of Guthix teleport on the [[Ring of duelling]].
-The dungeon was originally believed to be a 'hub' for fans of these activities, (Corresponding with player worries about how these activities would be affected by the return of the [[Wilderness]],) while the games themselves would remain in the Wilderness and could be accessed much more easily by the portals here. It was discovered with the launch of the update that the activities were moved here. The area that once held Clan Wars now holds the [[Bone Yard]], an area for F2P players to train the Prayer skill (This addition was part of the original PvP Wilderness.) The area that held Stealing Creation has been only slightly altered, so that the graves that were nearby on the grassy hill have been moved closer to the Wilderness Volcano. The Fist of Guthix activity technically remains in the Wilderness, with the entry now being by portal from the Gamers' Grotto.

-The [[Mystic's Camp]], where [[Stealing Creation]] is played, is in the North of the dungeon, in the largest room. The entire activity has been moved, including the Rewards trader, portals and game lobbies.

-To the South is the portal to the [[Fist of Guthix]] activity. Enter the portal and you will be teleported directly to the cave, and exiting the cave will result in returning here. Surprisingly, this leads to the wilderness, although you can't be killed here and the only way out is to use the portal which leads you back to the grotto.

-The final game in the dungeon is to the East, which is the famous [[Clan Wars]]. The portals have all been moved to this location, along with the NPCs related to the activity, such as[[Larry (merchant)|&nbsp;Larry]], who sells team capes to players. For player convinience, there is a one-click Bank Chest in the corner of this room. Surprisingly, this is the only one-click Bank Chest in RuneScape to have a [[Grand Exchange]] 'Collect' option.
