Editing an Arcade game

Every Arcade game you build has an edit panel where you can fine-tune the AI's output, swap in your own images, add audio, or talk to the AI to make broader changes. The panel opens alongside your game's preview, so you can see your changes take effect right away.

Opening the edit panel

Click the Edit button at the top right of any game you created. The panel slides in from the left and is split into three tabs:

• Content
• Chat
• Settings

The right side keeps a live preview of the game so you can check how your edits look as you make them.

Editing content manually

The Content tab is where you change the game's text and media directly. The fields here depend on the game type you're editing. A Multiple Choice game has questions, answer options, and explanations. A Matching game has pairs. A Sorting game has buckets and items, and so on.

At the top of the Content tab you'll find:

• Title: The name of the game shown to players.
• Instructions: The short description that appears under the title on the start screen.

Below that, each item in the game (a question, a pair, a card) shows up as a numbered block you can edit in place.

To remove an item, click the trash icon at the top right of its block. To move it, use the arrows next to its number. To add a new one, scroll to the bottom of the list and click + Add.

Adding images

Every question and every answer option has a small image button next to it. Click it to open the image picker, where you can either search for an image or upload your own.

• Search for an image: Type a keyword into the search box to find a photo, illustration, or graphic.
• Upload image: Drag a file into the upload area, or click it to pick a file from your device. PNG, JPG, WEBP, HEIC, HEIF, AVIF, GIF, BMP, and TIFF files up to 25MB are supported, so photos straight from a phone work too.

Once you've picked an image, click Done and it appears on that item in the preview. Each item holds one image, and you can swap it at any time.

This is useful when the AI's image choice isn't quite right. If your question is about volcanoes and the AI picked a generic mountain, you can search for "volcano", or upload a photo from your own field trip.

Every uploaded image is checked automatically before players can see it. If an image is flagged, you'll see a small red marker on it in the editor letting you know it won't be shown to players, so you can swap it out. Only you see the marker, and players never see a flagged image.

Adding audio

Next to the image button on every question and answer is an audio button. Click it to open Edit audio, which has two modes:

• Text to speech: Type any text and pick a language to generate a spoken version. This is great for read-aloud questions, language practice, or accessibility.
• Sound effect: Generate a short sound effect to play with the item.

Talking to the AI

The Chat tab is where Chat-to-edit lives. Type a message in plain language and the AI will modify your game for you. This is the right tool for changes that touch many things at once, like "make all the questions harder" or "translate the game to Spanish."

Some examples of things you can ask:

• "Add two more questions about mitosis."
• "Replace the image on card 3 with something about volcanoes."
• "Shorten the reading passage."
• "Fix the spelling error in question 5."

Settings

The Settings tab is where you control the game's Live Activity, leaderboard visibility, attempts per player, and how many scores the leaderboard shows. You can also clear the leaderboard from here. See the Leaderboard and Live Activity articles for what each setting does.

Editing Wildcard games

Wildcard games are built from scratch rather than from a template, so they don't have a Content tab. To change one, open the Chat tab and describe what you want in the Request changes box, for example "make the later levels harder". Wildcard reworks the game and saves each change as a new version. Edits count toward Wildcard's daily limit of 100 builds and edits combined.

Tips for fine-tuning

• Use the Content tab for small adjustments: When the AI is mostly right but got one detail wrong, opening the Content tab and editing the field directly is faster than asking the AI to fix it. A typo, a swapped image, a wrong correct answer, all under five seconds.
• Use Chat for bigger changes: When you want a sweeping change (translate everything, raise the difficulty, change the tone), the Chat tab is faster.
• Watch the preview: The right side updates as you edit, so you can play through and confirm your changes look the way you want.

Current limitations

You can't upload your own audio files yet. Audio is created with the text to speech and sound effect tools in the Edit audio dialog.
