Step 1: Open GameLab and start a new game
Download the GameLab app and tap the "+" button to start a new game. You'll be taken to the AI chat interface where you can describe your game.
You don't need to sign up or go through any tutorials. The interface is as simple as a messaging app.
Step 2: Describe your game idea
Type a description of the game you want to create. For example: "A fast-paced reaction game where colored circles appear randomly and the player has to tap them before they disappear. Start with 3 seconds per circle and reduce to 1 second. Track the score."
The more detail you give, the better the result — but even a simple one-sentence description will produce a playable game.
Step 3: Preview and play
Within seconds, the AI generates your game and shows you a live preview. Play through it right there in the app to see how it feels.
Pay attention to the pacing, difficulty, and overall fun factor. Does it feel too easy? Too hard? Missing something?
Step 4: Refine with follow-up prompts
Send follow-up messages to improve the game: "Make the circles smaller over time," "Add a combo multiplier," "Use a dark blue background with glowing circles."
Each prompt updates the game live. You can iterate as many times as you want until it feels perfect.
Step 5: Publish and share
When you're satisfied, tap the publish button. Choose a title, write a short description, and select a genre. Your game is now live on GameLab.
Share the link with friends, post it on social media, or let the community discover it in the feed. You're officially a game creator.
