Creating and Copying a Game
Creating a New Game
Registered users cannot create a game independently to prevent spam.
To request a new game:
- Register on the domain website.
- Contact the domain administrator (contact info is usually at the bottom of the pages).
- Provide your username on the site.
- The admin will create a game slot and assign you as the author. The game will show up in your author panel.
Copying a Game
If you need to duplicate a game (e.g. for a second season, migration to another domain, or backup before major edits):
Duplicating a Game in Your Dashboard:
- In the author panel, find the game and click “Copy Game”.
- A clone will be created with all tasks, settings, hints, codes, and bonuses.
- The clone's name will start with `#` (e.g.
#Copy of Game Name) making it invisible to regular players. - The copy is created without registered teams and statistics, acting as a clean template.
Transferring Between Domains:
To transfer a game to another QEng domain:
- Export the game to JSON (see Exporting to JSON).
- Log into the target domain and request a new empty game from the admin.
- Import the JSON file into the new game slot (see Importing from JSON).
