Experience Events

As part of your promotional initiatives, the integrated Events system lets you create time-based events for your experience. Players can discover your events on the experience's detail page and through an event details page. Players can also opt into notifications that they'll receive when your event begins.

Creating Events

To create an event, you must have the Edit all group experiences permission in a group‑owned experience, or be the sole owner of a user‑owned experience. Currently, you can publish a maximum of 10 ongoing or upcoming events.

  1. Navigate to an experience's page on the Creator Dashboard.

  2. In the left column, expand the Engagement branch and click Events.

  3. Click the Create Event button and then, on the event creation screen:

    1. Enter the event name, a starting date/time, and an ending date/time.

    2. Select one or two event types from the dropdowns that accurately describe your event:

      Event TypeExample
      Content UpdateAn update that adds new items or pets.
      Location UpdateAn update that adds a new map.
      System UpdateAn update that adds new features like trading.
      ActivityAn in-experience festival.
    3. Enter a description following general best practices to accurately portray the event. If you're using the event to promote a major experience update, summarize the key updates. If applicable, mention incentives for players to join such as exclusive event‑specific merch or badges that may be earned during the event.

    4. Select a privacy level; public events will be viewable to all players while private events will only be visible by you and others with elevated access.

    5. Add one or more thumbnails to promote your event. The first thumbnail in the list will be used as the primary event thumbnail, so think carefully about what image you want to choose. If you don't add any thumbnails for the event, the experience thumbnail will be used.

  4. When ready, click Publish Event to save your event. If you set the event to public, it will be immediately discoverable on the experience's detail page.
