Sign Up for Game Center

Unless you’re playing solitaire, games are more fun when you play with someone. Apple’s Game Center network lets you compete against thousands of players on iOS devices around the world. You can add pals to a Friends list for quick competitions, do battle with strangers in multiplayer games, and compete for the top spot on leaderboards.

Here’s how you get started with Game Center:

  1. Tap the Game Center icon on the iPad’s Home screen and sign up for an account (or use your Apple ID, as described on Set Up an Apple ID). Apple bills the games you buy to this account. Then (as shown at right), pick an online nickname—it may take a few tries to find an available one.

  2. Add a photo to your Game Center profile by tapping the empty Polaroid frame on the screen. Choose either Take Photo (to snap one now) or Choose Photo (to pick a fearsome shot from your iPad’s Photos app).
