Game Center & Achievements

Play Guess and Reveal integrates Apple Game Center to enrich your gaming experience, whether you are a host or a player. Authenticating with Game Center lets you sync your profile and unlock achievements throughout your games.

Connecting to Game Center

The app tries to connect to your Game Center account automatically at launch. If nobody is signed in on the device, Apple's sign-in window opens — on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Vision Pro; on Mac it appears as a sheet over the game's window. You can also bring it up by choosing Game Center nickname or Game Center avatar in your profile.

If you are signed in:

• A Game Center icon is shown when setting up your profile.
• Your global game statistics are saved to your Apple account.
• You can compare your achievements with those of your friends.

Profile sync

Game Center integration makes creating your player profile easier:

Using your Game Center nickname

In your profile settings (from the home screen or during a game), you can choose to use your official Game Center nickname. If you change your nickname in your device settings, it will be updated automatically in the game.

Using your Game Center avatar

In the same way, you can import the avatar from your Game Center account. This gives you a unique profile picture that other players can instantly recognize during local network games.

Note: If you prefer, you can always turn these options off to choose a custom nickname, a color or a specific icon for each game.

Tracking Statistics and Achievements

The game records your performance in the background and rewards you for your dedication and your musical skills.

Recorded statistics

Game Center keeps track of several of your actions:

• Total points accumulated — all the points earned across your different game sessions.
• Correct answers — the number of times you found the artist, the title, etc.
• Number of buzzes — how quickly you speak up.
• Games hosted — for hosts who run sessions regularly.
