What are the prerequisites for creating games?
There are no specific prerequisites. Gaya World has been designed to be very accessible. From then on, all you need is an idea and a little desire… The rest will come by itself 👍
I don’t know how to create games! Is it serious?
You don’t need to be an expert to create games on Gaya World, fortunately! And that’s what makes it so magical. Gaya World is used by video game professionals as well as amateurs, tour guides and athletes.
What they have in common is the desire to turn the world into a playground!
Can you help me create games?
Of course! Our team answers very often on the Discord server to help you. But we have also gone further by developing tools to help you create and with an accessible but precise documentation to accompany you smoothly.
I only want to create ballads (playful or not), am I allowed to?
You can design your own rides in Gaya World. You can indicate this in the details of your game so that the Explorer knows that it is a walk. Moreover, thanks to the possibility of playing sound files, you can also create audio trails very easily!
Is there an Architect community?
And not just a little! The community is growing day by day and can be found on
Discord
to exchange. Want to join us?
I’m afraid I don’t make good games! How do I know if my game is good?
It’s not for us to say 😎 We encourage you to get your loved ones to play (there’s also help to walk you through this step) and consider their feedback to help make the best adventures!
And, in any case, the explorers will be happy to share their feedback and advice to improve your adventures.

Technique
Why geolocation?
The geolocation is primarily to ensure that you stay within the game perimeter, you can play relaxed, because you are sure at any time not to make a wrong turn. Also, geolocation provides a better experience with events that are automatically triggered when you arrive at a defined point.
Is it compatible with my phone?
Gaya World is compatible with the latest versions of IOS and Android. For older versions, you can consult the blinds files for more information.
Do I need an internet connection?
It is possible to play without Internet. However, please note that you must download the adventure before launching it! (which can be done from anywhere at any time).
Doesn’t the game consume too much battery?
Using your phone inevitably consumes battery power. Aware of the issue, we have optimized the use of GPS to the maximum so that you can enjoy your phone the rest of the day. Nevertheless, we advise you to start with your phone fully charged and, during the game, to turn off the screen when you don’t need to look at it.
How do I use an access code?
If you have obtained a code to unlock a mission, just go to “Menu” then “Secret Code”. The adventure will then be unlocked.
