# GAMES looks like a game now

> The GAMES door was redrawn as an arcade — a sky by day and stars by night, your player card up top, and big buttons for ROUNDS, SOLO and TEAMS.

The GAMES door used to read like a list. Today it looks like what it is: a place to play.

## What changed

- **A world behind it.** The whole page sits on a sky by day and a starry night after dark.
- **Your player card up top.** Your place in the hall of fame, your wins, and a jump to the rounds coming up.
- **Big buttons for the three parts**: ROUNDS to play with others, SOLO to play alone, and TEAMS for yard and friends games.
- **Rounds as arcade cards** you can tap straight into.
- **Solo games as a grid**, with one featured game on top.
- **Halls of fame as podiums**, in each game's own colours.
