Tips For Creating The Best iSpy Games

Creating lots of well crafted, fun and creative games is the key to being a successful Spy. Here are a few tips to help you earn maximum P's and create great iSpy games.

Location, Location, Location

The more people who play your game the more P's you earn! Try creating games near places people congregate.
TIP! Creating games near college campuses, tourist attractions, parks, shopping malls etc.

The Object Of The Game

Essentially, any object could be a potential iSpy game. But the best games are built around things people never knew existed or things they've walked by 100 times but never noticed.
TIP! Some good objects for games include: landmarks, monuments, signs, statues, artwork etc.

A Picture is Worth 1,000 Plays

The picture is the center of your game. It shows up in the list and attracts players to learn more about your game.
TIP! Get as close as you can and fill the whole picture with the object of your game. The less background noise the better.

Game Difficulty

The best iSpy games fall somewhere between being too easy and too difficult to solve. You want your players to look around, but you dont want them to give up and move on. The higher the difficulty, the larger your game's radius will be.
TIP! If the object of your game is large or really easy to find, consider setting the difficulty to 4 or 5 so the game spans a larger area. If the object is tiny or well hidden, set the difficulty to 1 or 2.

Describing Your Game

When you create a game you complete the phrase "iSpy with my little eye..."
TIP! Also use this area to give clues or recommend things nearby

Make Sure!

Last but not least, here are a few extra tips to ensure maximum fun!
TIP! Make sure the object of your game is in a public location so anyone can play.
TIP! Make sure the object of your game is not going anywhere. If you suspect your game might not be around forever, set the game to have an end date.
