Choose the action that matches your goal

Each flow has one clear requester and one clear person who responds.

πŸ”Ž

Invite a player

From a game, the organizer can find an opted-in nearby player and send an invitation for that game.

What happens after you send it

  • ⏳ Pending requests stay visible so you can check their status.
  • ↩️ Withdraw is available while your request or invitation is still pending.
  • βœ… Approved game requests move into One-Time Games for the guest.
  • ❌ Rejected game requests no longer appear in Find Game results.
  • πŸ”” Notifications and Home badges help both sides notice actions that need a response.
