Game Lifecycle

Posting a game on Orb goes beyond filling out a form. Once created, you can run or pause bookings, track seats, edit or archive any time and more.

Publishing

When you finish the Create Game form, you choose how to launch it:

• Open booking immediately and opens it for bookings
• Save "Closed" to keeps it hidden from the public listing, so you can finish it later or hold it until you're ready

Opening, closing, archiving, and editing

You can open or close the game whenever you like from your games list, nothing about the listing is lost either way. Edits made in the game editor (your My Games page) take effect immediately too.

Not planning to run a game again but don't want to delete it? Archive it instead. Archived games move to their own tab, out of your active list and closed to bookings, until you decide to bring them back. You can unarchive a game at any time.

Adding and removing players from the game itself is covered separately in Managing Players.
