Creating an account

Sign-up takes a few seconds. You can register with email + password, Google, or Discord. Your existing guest scores aren't transferred — the first ranked attempt you play after signing in is your first attempt of record.

URL hooks and auth

URL hooks follow the same rule: a hook that just opens a daily or shared game is open to everyone, while one that generates or resumes a personal game needs a free account. This list is derived from the hook registry, so it stays in sync as games add hooks:

A gated hook sends a signed-out visitor to sign in first, then drops you straight back where you were headed — the full link (params and all) is preserved across login. Opened from inside the app, it shows a dismissible sign-in popup instead of a full-page redirect.
