01 · Find your game
Browse genres or search by name on the home page. Each card opens the game’s own website. You can start in your browser without a separate installation.
02 · Play first, sign in to keep it
Most games start straight away without an account. To save a result, earn GameNow points, join an online room or appear in a ranking, sign in on the GameNow sign-in page with an existing account, Google, or a new nickname and 6-digit PIN. A few games with persistent worlds, such as TerraLoop, simWorld and animalEarth, ask you to sign in before you start. Never share your password.
03 · Play on your device
Keyboard, mouse, touch and gamepad support vary by game. Check the in-game instructions first. If a 3D game runs slowly, reduce visual quality and close other tabs.
04 · Set your language and region
Use the language and region button in the header. Automatic settings use your browser environment. Region is used for presentation such as dates; it does not verify your location or nationality. Individual games may have separate language settings.
05 · Share a thought
Trade tips and ideas in the community. For bugs, include the game, device, browser and steps to reproduce. Send account and personal-data enquiries by email.
06 · Read the in-depth guide
Every game has an in-depth guide on its game page or its own game site: modes, a controls table for mouse, keyboard, touch and gamepad, strategy tips, developer notes, update history and answers to common questions. The Controller page collects the gamepad controls of every game in one place.
