Get your magic AI link ✨

This link is made just for you. It tells your AI how GenZ works, and it has a secret key inside so your AI can put your game into your panel.

Open your AI and paste this message 🤖

Open the AI you like: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot… Then type your idea below, copy the message, and paste it into your AI.

Build it together 🛠️

Your AI will ask you some questions and make the game. It will also think of a cool name and description. Tell it if you want changes, like "make the cat faster!" or "add rainbow power-ups!"

When you're happy, your AI gives you one box of code. Then:

  1. Press the 📋 Copy button on the code box in your AI.
  2. Open the Upload page and paste it into the big box.
  3. The name and description fill in by themselves ✨ Press 🚀 Upload!
Tip: If your AI gives you more than one box, ask it: "Please put everything in ONE code block like the GenZ instructions say." Some AIs can even upload by themselves. If yours does, it will tell you, and you'll see the game on your dashboard.

You're live! Now earn! 🏆

Your game goes ✅ Live in the Arcade straight away, and you earn ZCoins:

🛡️ GenZ admins check games after they go live. A game that isn't suitable for children gets removed, and you lose its 200 ZCoins. Read the rules.

More ZCoins = promotions! Recruit → Private → Corporal → Sergeant → … → General → Field Marshal 🎖️

🛡️ GenZ rules (super short)

  • Games must be friendly: no blood, nothing scary or rude, no bad words.
  • Never put your real name, address, school or photos in a game.
  • Be kind. Games that are mean to people get taken down.
  • Make your own ideas. Don't copy other people's games or famous characters.

Got stuck? Ask a parent, teacher or older sibling to help. Making games together is fun!
