  • Patent number: 11724180
    Abstract: A system, machine-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a computer-implemented method for automatic game creation are presented. An access module can access player information for a receiver and an originator. Additionally, a matching module can determine that the receiver and the originator have a connection based on the player information. Furthermore, a game invitation module can detect that a recipient game is installed on an originator device of the originator and that the recipient game is not installed on a receiver device of the receiver. Subsequently, the game invitation module can send, to the receiver device, a game invitation to play the recipient game based on the determination and the detection, with the game invitation including information associated with the originator.

  • Publication number: 20140194207
    Abstract: A system, computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a computer-implemented method for surfacing game stories are presented. Embodiments may, responsive to detecting a first game action initiated by a first user, surface a first game story to a second user through a social feed. Responsive to detecting that the first game story is activated by the second user, a second game story is surfaced on the social feed that tags the first user. The second game story represents a second game action is performed in a game involving the second user based on the first game story being activated.
