Made a game all by yourself? Awesome! Now learn how to show it off and let everyone play! This guide is made for kid creators, explained so simply that even a 5-year-old can understand marketing and selling!

👋 Welcome, Awesome Game Creator!

Hello, future game-making superstar! So, you've been busy like a bee, creating a super-duper amazing game all by yourself. That's like building the coolest LEGO castle ever, or painting a masterpiece, or inventing a fantastic new board game! That's incredible!

But just like a secret hideout, it's no fun if no one knows where it is or how to play, right? This interactive guide is like a treasure map to help you show your game to the whole world, get them excited to play it, and even let them get a copy! It's all about making new friends for your game!

We'll learn about "marketing" (which is like a big Show and Tell for your game's yummy cookies!) and "selling" (which is how friends can get your game). Let's go on an adventure!
