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!

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.
