Sharing Your Game With Others

A great game is even better when people play it. Once your game is published, you can share it so friends, followers, and players everywhere can join in.

Sharing your game

After publishing, you can share your game with others so they can play it directly. Sharing is the key to letting your game reach an audience — whether that's a few friends or a much larger crowd.

Great moments to share

Think about when and where sharing will have the most impact:

• Right after publishing, while you're excited about it and the idea is fresh.
• When a moment is trending, so your timely game rides the wave of attention.
• With the right people — friends who'll enjoy it, communities that fit the theme, or an audience that follows you.

Make sharing personal

One of the most powerful ways to get people playing is to make it personal. If you built a game from a photo — especially one featuring someone you know — sharing it with that person is a delightful surprise. People love seeing themselves or something familiar at the center of a game, and they're far more likely to play and pass it along.

Encourage others to play

A few simple ideas to help your game spread:

• Tell people what makes your game fun or surprising.
• Tie it to something happening now so it feels timely and relevant.
• Share it where your audience already spends time.

Keep creating

Sharing one game often sparks ideas for the next. As you see what people respond to, you'll get a feel for what works — and you can keep creating and sharing new games built around fresh ideas and moments.
