Game statuses

1. DRAFT

   Draft

   Saved. Only you and your studio can see it. Verifying the domain moves it on.

2. REVIEW

   In review

   In the queue. A reviewer checks the game and its listing.

3. LIVE

   Live

   Public, with its own page. Later edits are reviewed while it stays up.

EDIT

Changes needed. From review, a game can be sent back with a note. Fix it and resubmit, up to twice.

A game goes from draft to in review to live. From in review it can be sent back as changes needed, then resubmitted.

A live game with an update in review

A game can be live with an update waiting. It keeps its status, and the dashboard marks it as having an update in review:

• The public page shows the old values until the update is approved.
• changesInReview is true, and pendingChanges lists what is queued.
• Filtering by pending in list_my_games finds it too.

Fields around a status

Field	Meaning
domainVerified	The site’s proof of ownership stands. A game that moves to another site before going live loses it
rejectionReason	The reviewer’s note
nextStep	What to do now, in words. Every game has one when read by an assistant
playable	Whether Alldle shows the game in a frame. If false, Play opens your site. See Allow embedding
badgeVerified	The badge was found on your site
sdkLastSeenAt	The last time the SDK reported

What can move a game backwards

• Pointing a game that is not live at a different site returns it to draft, with its verification cleared.
• A rejected game stays at Changes needed until you resubmit it. Editing it does not send it back.
