Who Can Launch Games in Slack?
Yes—and no. It depends on the type of game.
In Slack, any team member can instantly launch quick social games like Chess, Battleship, Checkers, Connect4, and more. These games can be played one-on-one or in small groups, either in direct messages or channels.
However, when it comes to scheduled games — such as daily puzzles (like Find The Word, Sudoku, or Mathle) or predictor games — only workspace admins have the ability to set them up. This ensures that planned games appear at the right time in the right Slack channels, giving the whole team a chance to engage together.
This setup creates a balance: spontaneous games for everyday fun, and structured games for scheduled engagement and events.
How to Launch a Game in Slack?
Once GUUL is integrated with your Slack workspace, there are several ways to start a game:
- Use Commands in Slack – Quickly launch games in team channels or direct messages using Slack commands.
- Go to the Tournament Games Section – Explore available games, choose your favorite, and invite teammates to play.
- Schedule Workspace-Wide Games – Admins can organize puzzle games (Find The Word, Mathle, Sudoku) or predictor games, setting them up in advance for the whole team.
With these options, games remain easily accessible, whether you’re looking for a quick match or planning a team-wide event.
