FAQ
Listing
Section titled “Listing”Is it free to publish on Alldle?
Section titled “Is it free to publish on Alldle?”Yes. Listing, the creator dashboard and the SDK are free, and Alldle takes no commission on anything.
What kind of games do you accept?
Section titled “What kind of games do you accept?”Daily games first: a new challenge every day, like Wordle or Connections. Good replayable web games are welcome too. See Before you submit.
Does Alldle host my game?
Section titled “Does Alldle host my game?”Not yet. Your game runs on your own site, and Alldle sends players to it. Hosting on Alldle is on the way. See Where your game lives.
Do I need my own domain?
Section titled “Do I need my own domain?”No, but it makes verification easier. On a shared address you need to be able to edit the page’s HTML, or else write to us and we will verify it by hand.
How long does the review take?
Section titled “How long does the review take?”There is no guaranteed delay. The decision reaches you as a notification on Alldle, and by email when a moderator makes it.
Why was my game sent back?
Section titled “Why was my game sent back?”The reason is on the game’s Edit page. See If your game is sent back.
Someone already listed my game. Can I take it over?
Section titled “Someone already listed my game. Can I take it over?”Yes. Prove that you own the domain and the listing moves to your dashboard, with the plays and likes it already has. See Claim a listed game.
Can players suggest my game without me?
Section titled “Can players suggest my game without me?”Yes. Anyone can suggest a game. If it is accepted, it is listed with no owner until you claim it.
How do I remove my game?
Section titled “How do I remove my game?”Delete a draft or a game in review from My games. For a live game, write to us.
Traffic
Section titled “Traffic”How does Alldle bring players to my game?
Section titled “How does Alldle bring players to my game?”Your game gets its own page, found on Google and from the home page, categories, “games like” pages, search and the discovery queue. Players who add it to their daily ritual can opt in to a daily reminder. See How Alldle works.
Do I keep my traffic, my ads and my analytics?
Section titled “Do I keep my traffic, my ads and my analytics?”Yes. When a player presses Play, it is your page that loads, inside Alldle’s frame when your site allows it or in a new tab otherwise, so your ads and your own analytics run as usual. Both kinds of play are counted in your dashboard.
Should I allow embedding?
Section titled “Should I allow embedding?”If your game works well in a frame, it makes playing one click away, and players stay in their flow from game to game. If you would rather have every player land on your own site, leave it off. See Allow embedding.
How do I get on the home page?
Section titled “How do I get on the home page?”Put the badge on your site to become a community partner, which makes your game eligible. Alldle also picks games for Featured and Trending, and emails you when it picks yours.
Numbers
Section titled “Numbers”Do I need the SDK?
Section titled “Do I need the SDK?”No. A link is enough to be listed, to get traffic and to see your audience. The SDK adds results for every player, and lets a finished round tick your game off in players’ daily ritual. See What the SDK gives you.
Do players need an account for me to see them?
Section titled “Do players need an account for me to see them?”No. Each browser gets a random id, kept for at most 13 months, with no cookies and no personal data. Signed-in players are also linked to their account, so their ritual and streak follow them.
Can I see who my players are?
Section titled “Can I see who my players are?”In dashboards and for assistants, only as totals: countries, devices, sources. The one exception is your own page inside Alldle’s frame, which is sent a signed-in player’s Alldle id, display name and avatar. See what the SDK sends.
Do my own visits count?
Section titled “Do my own visits count?”Not while you are signed in. Testing your page signed out still counts as a visitor.
Can I export my data?
Section titled “Can I export my data?”Yes. The tables on the audience dashboard export to CSV.
Can several people manage a game?
Section titled “Can several people manage a game?”Yes, through a studio. Members manage every game of the studio, exactly as its owner does.
My studio is already on Alldle. How do I get access?
Section titled “My studio is already on Alldle. How do I get access?”Write to us. Once we have checked it really is you, we add you as its first owner.
AI assistant
Section titled “AI assistant”Do I need an AI assistant to use Alldle?
Section titled “Do I need an AI assistant to use Alldle?”No. Everything it does for your games, you can do from the dashboard.
Is it safe to connect one?
Section titled “Is it safe to connect one?”You choose what it can do, it reaches only your games, and changes to a live game still wait for review. See Permissions and safety.
Does Alldle use AI to make or host my game?
Section titled “Does Alldle use AI to make or host my game?”No. “Creating” a game through an assistant means listing one that already runs on your own site.
Will creators get paid?
