Remix or copy an Arcade game
Opdateret 2 ore fa af Carla SeseFound a game you like, or want a new version of one of your own? Remix it. Remixing makes a copy of the game that you own and can change. You can give Arcade new instructions, switch to a different game type, or leave everything as is and get an exact copy.
Where to find Remix
- On a game's page: click the … (More) menu at the top right of the game, then click Remix. Save is in the same menu.
- In the Info panel: click Create a copy to get your own editable version with a private leaderboard. When you click a featured game on the Arcade homepage, its game page opens with the Info panel already showing.
Remix a game
- On the game's page, click … (More) > Remix. The Remix game window opens.
- In the Instructions box, describe how you'd like to change the game, like "make it harder", "translate to Spanish" or "rewrite the questions for 3rd graders using simpler words". Leave it blank to get an exact copy.
- To turn it into a different kind of game, pick a new type from the Game type dropdown. It starts on the game's current type, marked (original). The options are Multiple choice, Word search, Crossword, Short answer, Matching, Sorting, Sequencing, Flashcards, Fill in the blank and Memory tiles. See Arcade game types for a closer look at each one.
Click Remix. A progress bar shows while Arcade builds your copy. When it's done, your new game opens with its own link.
What gets copied
- Your remix is a new game with its own link. The original game and its link don't change.
- The questions and answers carry over, along with any changes you asked for.
- When you remix someone else's game, the files or links they used to build it aren't copied. You get the game itself, not their source material.
- Your copy is your own editable version, with a private leaderboard.

FAQs
If I remix someone's game, does it change their game?
No. Your remix is a separate game with its own link. The original game and its players aren't affected.
Can I turn a quiz into a different type of game?
Yes. When you remix a template game, pick a new game type from the Game type dropdown, for example Matching to Sorting. Wildcard games can only be copied, not switched to another type.
How do I make changes to a game without remixing it?
If it's your own game, you can edit it directly instead. Learn more in Editing an Arcade game. Remix when you want a new version and want to keep the original as it is.
