Websim is a browser-based AI maker at websim.com. You log in, click Create, describe the game in plain words, then test it and click Post when it works.

## Quick answer

Go to websim.com and log in. Click Create and type your game idea; Websim's AI writes the code. Play it, then keep asking for changes. You can also connect your own ChatGPT account in the Build tab without using Websim credits. Click Post to share it, and others can like, tip and remix it. On an iPhone, Roam makes a game from a sentence or a photo.

## Before you start

Websim runs on the web, not as an app you install. You need an account: Log In sits next to Create at the top of websim.com. Websim has no help center or step-by-step game tutorial on its public pages, so the steps below come from its own blog posts, checked November 4, 2026.

## Make a game in Websim: the steps

- **1. Log in and click Create.** It sits in the top bar.
- **2. Type your idea.** Say what the player does, how they control it and what ends the game. Websim's AI writes the code. Add the word "ai" if the game needs AI, like a talking character.
- **3. Test it, then ask for one change at a time.** If the agent gets confused, type /clear for a fresh start. Your files stay.
- **4. Make it multiplayer if you want.** Websim says anything can be made multiplayer, but it does not publish the steps for turning it on.
- **5. Click Post.** Websim's words: click Post and send it to the feed. People can like, comment on, tip and remix it.

Websim facts come from its home page, blog posts (October 28, November 7 and November 13, 2025; January 12, July 16 and August 21, 2026) and Terms of Service (last modified August 29, 2024). Roam does not publish its free limits.

## Build with your own ChatGPT account

Since July 16, 2026, Websim lets you build with an agent that runs on your ChatGPT account. A free account works, and it does not use your Websim credits. Open your project, click the hammer icon in the right sidebar, choose Connect ChatGPT, and paste the one-time code into ChatGPT. The code lasts 15 minutes.

## Credits: what is free now

On January 12, 2026 Websim ended its free daily credits. You can still use free models, and engagement rewards and tips still earn credits. You can also buy credits once, or pick a Starter or Pro plan; their prices are not on Websim's public pages. Websim Max, a premium model, is in the Build mode model picker.

## Can you make a Websim game on your phone?

- **2. Describe it or add a photo.** One sentence is enough. A photo of a friend, a pet or a meme works too.
- **3. Change it by talking, then play.** Say "more enemies" or "make it two-player". Play solo or with friends.
