How to Invite Friends to a Multiplayer Game in Game Center

Game Center is the main station for keeping up with your favorite iOS games, your ranking in the games, fellow friends who play, and challenges between friends. Game Center also makes it easy to request a multiplayer game with a friend. Here’s how to do that.

Open Game Center. Select Friends. If you don't have any friends, invite some!

Tap the friend you want to play a game with. Their Info will pop up, tap their Games. Select the game you want to send an invite for.

Depending on the game, select one or multiple friends. We used solitaire as an example. With your friends name checked, select Next. Include any message you’d like in the invitation and press Send.

A window will pop up with the players you’ve invited to join the game. When your friend accepts the invitation and connects, the game will automatically begin.

If a friend isn’t available or doesn’t respond, you can tap Auto-Match and Game Center will match you up with a player, or tap Invite Friend to invite someone else.
