GameMaki makes it fun to share cool stuff and challenge your friends.

1 Share Cool Suggestions

Share fun activities or places to go as challenges for your friends. Simply describe your challenge, choose a category and off you go. Your challenge will then be visible and claimable by your friends and the world. Easy peasy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Suggesting and Claiming Challenges

• 1 Why do I have to tag a category to my challenge?

  Tagging a category to your challenges makes your challenge easier for other players to find (and do!). And the more exposure for your challenge, the better.

• 2 Do I need to tag a location to my challenge?

  You are encouraged to tag a location to your challenge if it is restricted to a specific place, city or country. For generic challenges that can be done anywhere, tagging a location is not necessary.

• 3 What happens when I 'accept' a challenge?

  Accepting a challenge will place it into your to-do list on GameMaki. A box should also appear, allowing you to claim the challenge on the spot if you have already done it. Otherwise, you can always opt to 'claim it later'. (You can reaccess the challenge from your to-do list.)

• 4 What is the difference between 'accepting' and 'claiming' a challenge?

  You claim a challenge only when you've already done it, and this will earn you points on the spot. Accepting a challenge will place it in your to-do list, and you have the option to claim it now or later.

• 5 Can I still claim a challenge if I have not done it yet?

  Uh, yes. You can. But that's not honest, you naughty kiddo.

Games

• 1 Why can't I add my challenge into a particular game?

  You need to join a game first before you can add your challenges to it.

  

  However, if you've already joined a game and still can't contribute challenges, the creator of the game may have disallowed it. During game creation, you have the option to allow or disallow other players from contributing their challenges into your game.

• 2 Can I edit someone else's game?

  No, you may not edit someone else's game. You may add your own challenges to a game if allowed by the game's creator.

• 3 When I've added my challenges to someone else's game, can I still remove it later?

  Yes, you may remove your challenges if you change your mind later on.

• 4 Can I remove challenges added by other people from my game?

  Yes, you can moderate all contributions to your game if you are the game's creator. This means you can remove challenges added by others at your own will. However, do note that once removed, you can't add these challenges back (unless the creator of the challenge decides to add it back to your game ... again).
