Intro
Hello fellow children, today I am going to tell you how to get your gimkit game more plays with these simple steps!
Game Thumbnails
First off, your going to need a good thumbnail, people often post random pics for their thumbnail or a picture of gimkit creative. Your not going to wanna do that, make sure your thumbnail has the game name, and the creators name, (also the thumbnail makers name if you didn’t make it yourself.) also make sure you don’t steal other peoples thumbnails. EX of good thumbnail:
Original game ideas.
You also want to make sure your ideas are original (mostly) It’s always good to come up with an original game idea, this way your game can get more views cause its not a copy of a random game for example, “Don’t wake up mum at 3AM cause you didn’t do the laundry while washing the dishes and taking out the trash.”
That’s an example of a remake. (Credit to @Penguin_eats_turtle for the idea) ![]()
Game Description
Next, you need to make sure you have a good description that’s related to your game, make sure it states what the game is about and the objective of the game, nothing too long, and nothing too short.
Game Title
Also, you need to make sure your game has a good title, for example: If your game is a escape room, something like “The Room of despair.” Make sure its original!
Advertising
Another important thing is that you want to make sure your advertising your map, your map most likely won’t get much views unless its on “Grab bags” then gets on trending. You can advertise on the wix, or on your forum profile. You can also get help from your friends to advertise for you. This is very important because Literlly most of the times, you see these maps made by 8 year olds that took 1 hour to make and their name is “skibidi skibidi” with a brainrot thumbnail
Here is how to get the link to your gimkit map: First go to settings.

Now go to “Publish”
Now look at “Public link” then hit “Copy link”
Extras
Here are some things to make your game vewy intewsting, hehehe.
Lores: Lores are kinda like stories, they make your game interesting and require some “Brain power” For the player to figure out.
Decorations: You wanna make sure your game is flashy
Make sure you add props and decor to your game, this way it adds some sparkle when people play your game. But make sure you don’t just spam random things everywhere and call it “Your game” It makes it messy, random, and un-flashy when you do that. If you make it un-flashy I will burn you!
Interactions: Similar to a lore you wanna have “Interactions” I call them “Tasks” Or “Quests” it makes the game fun and challenging for the player!
Gameplay
Now it’s time for the gameplay! For the gameplay, you want to make sure you put effort into your game, make sure it isn’t messy and test it before publishing to make sure there aren’t any bugs/glitches, You can also bring friends to help you test it and make sure its possible! I’m talking from experience ![]()
A good gimkit game also has a pre-game lobby, nothing too fancy, just some props and items. Here is an example of a simple Pre-Game Lobby:
You can also go to the gimkit wix to find people to help you with your games, don’t forget to credit them!
Conclusion
Well, that’s all for this guide! Let me know if I missed anything!
