How it works

One account, every game

Every GB Sims game (Jargon, Greenlight, Cassette, and the rest) shares a single facilitator account. Sign in once on any game and you are signed in on all of them. Your credits are shared too: one wallet, not thirty.

New accounts start with 10 free credits. No invite code needed.

What a session costs

Most games cost 1 credit per session. A few of the long, heavy ones cost more; the exact price is always shown on that game's dashboard, next to the New session button, and on the Start button itself.

The size of your group makes no difference. Five people or fifty, it is one session, one charge.

When you are charged

Only when you press Start. Everything before that is free, so you can:

• create rooms and play with the settings
• run the briefing slides for the room
• let players join and see the lobby fill
• abandon it entirely and come back tomorrow

If a session dies in its first ten minutes with fewer than two players (bad wifi, wrong room, false start), the credit comes back automatically. You do not need to ask.

Topping up

Have a code? Enter it on the credits page, or in the optional code box when you sign up. Credits land instantly.

Need more credits? Get in touch and we will set you up: abhilash@gentlebamboo.com. Credits arrive on your account, usually within minutes.

Running a session

1. Open the game's page and sign in. You land on your dashboard.
2. + New session, and give it a name you will recognise later ("Acme managers, 12 Aug").
3. Share the join link or show the QR from the briefing. Players join from their phones; nothing to install.
4. Set up the room (world, packs, rounds, whatever that game offers), then press Start.
5. Play. When you are done, end the session and walk the room through the debrief.

Every session stays on your dashboard afterwards, with its debrief, so you can reopen and present it again.

If something looks wrong

"Start" says I do not have enough credits. Your balance is below that game's price. Top up, then press Start again; nothing is lost.

I was signed out. Sign in once more. Sessions last 30 days.

My balance looks stale. It can lag by up to a minute inside a game. The credits page is always exact.

A session broke mid-game. Rooms survive restarts: rejoin with the same link and the same name. Ask us if anything is still off.
