Welcome to the forums! Make sure to read the rules at these links: s.orules https://forum.creative.gimkit.com/faq

Here is a guide of reasons your map might not show up in discovery:

However, if your map has already had plays, it is probably just that people aren’t playing your map anymore. You can share the link on the wix (but not here) if you want people to play it.

Games will naturally lose player count. It’s normal.

Please remove the ideas tag from this.

Plays usually depend on the thumbnail art, name, and description of your game. What keeps people playing and coming back to your game is the game quality, the story, and/or content (stuff to do).

(Also I removed the ideas tag.)

Building onto this, the amount of plays your game gets mostly depends on the game quality. If you have a really cool thumbnail but your game is terrible people on the wix, classmates talking, etc will spread the word that your game is bad.

If your making an obby do something unique with it because well… (looks at discovery page) almost everything in trending + grab bag + newly published is an obby.

Edit - I love how discovery isn’t actually good games but literally just a reflection of the most current brainrot.

And terrible ones too. Point is, if you work hard (I mean very hard) and the map is high quality with a good thumbnail, then maybe people would want to play it. In reality, Gimkit Discovery’s players are fickle people. It’s really hard for games, even good games, to get on trending. It requires just luck (or following trends like kpdh and 6,7 lord help discovery).

Games also experience natural obsolescence over time because as new devices and gadgets are added people will make more maps probably using mostly new devices and or gadgets which will get more plays. (Because it has new stuff :0)

@julian i dont get what you mean. are you saying that its not showing up on discovery or you want help getting more plays or something else

There are tons of guides about this, if none of them work then your game is probably lost.

This is just the sad fate of most high quality games, they get crowded with low quality games that take 10 minutes to make. Sinking below all the obbies named “Escape K-Pop Demon hunters house” and “Escape Shrek at 3AM” and more low effort obbies.

I would usually say make your game unique with features not many obbies have, like a hydration and hunger system. Or maybe powerups! But, that’s only for uniqueness, if you want more plays, just fit in with the crowd.

“a a” goes hard :speaking_head::fire:
