Gimble GamingThree ways to send us a game
- A finished game
It's done and plays well. If it passes review, we host it on the Community page under your name, and you keep ownership.
Free to sendPublish your game - A game you started
It has a playable start but isn't finished. If we choose it, we refine and finish it, and the game's page names you as co-creator.
Free to sendPitch a game you started - An idea
No code needed. Describe the game, and if we choose it, we build it and credit the idea to you.

How it works
- PitchTell us what the player does and why it's fun. For a game you started, add a link to what you have.
- ScreenWe check that it fits the site: family friendly, original, and playable in a phone browser.
- ReviewA person scores it on the four points below. Only pitches that score high on all four go further.
- BuildIf we choose it, we email you before we start. When the game is out, its page credits you.
Every pitch is scored on four points
- An original hookOne idea we haven't seen before, not a copy of another game with new paint.
- Fun in the first minuteA player understands it and enjoys it right away, without a long tutorial.
- Right for this siteFamily friendly, free, with no ads, purchases, chat or accounts.
- BuildableSmall enough to make well for a phone browser, in all four of our languages.
We won't build
- Games based on someone else's game, characters, show or brand
- Gambling, loot boxes, gore, realistic violence or sexual content

Pitch terms
- Pitches aren't confidential. Don't send anything you need kept secret.
- We get many ideas and may already be making something similar. We can make games like your pitch without owing you anything.
- By pitching, you let Known Quantity LLC, the company behind Gimble Gaming, use, change and build on your idea, free of charge and for good. You can still use the idea yourself.
- For a game you started: if we choose it, you also let Known Quantity LLC copy, change, finish and publish the code, art and sound you sent, free of charge and for good. You keep your own copy and can still use it.
- Send only work you made yourself or have the right to share, with nothing taken from other games or creators.
- If we build a game from your pitch, its page credits you by the name you gave: "Game idea by" for an idea, "Co-created with" for a game you started. Credit is the reward: there is no payment, royalty or revenue share. If that ever changes, we will offer it to you in writing before we start.
- We reply to every pitch, usually with a short yes or no. We can't send detailed feedback on every idea.
- We use your email only to reply about your pitch, and we delete pitches we don't build after 12 months.
- If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must pitch for you.
Questions
Do I need to know how to code?
Not for an idea. We build the games.
What's the difference between a game I started and a finished game?
A finished game goes on the Community page as yours, and you keep ownership. A game you started is one we take over and finish, so it becomes a Gimble Gaming game, with you credited as co-creator.
Will I be paid?
No. Every game here is free, with no ads or purchases, so there is no income to share. Credit on the game's page is the reward.
Can I pitch more than one game?
Yes. Send each one on its own form, so each one is scored on its own.
