Can I share my ChatGPT game directly?

ChatGPT lets you share conversations, but games created in canvas don't work well this way. Your friends might see the code instead of the game, or the canvas might not load at all.

To get a link where people can actually play your game, you need to host the HTML somewhere. The fastest way is Star.

How to host your ChatGPT game (step-by-step)

Step 1: Get the code from ChatGPT

Open your ChatGPT conversation with the game. If you used canvas:

Click on the canvas to expand it
Look for a "Copy" button or three-dot menu
Select "Copy code" or manually select all (Ctrl+A / Cmd+A) and copy

You should have HTML code that starts with something like <!DOCTYPE html> or <html>.

Step 2: Paste on Star

Go to buildwithstar.com/host
Make sure "Paste Artifact" tab is selected
Paste your code into the text box
Give your game a name

Step 3: Host and share

Click "Host My Game" and you'll instantly get a shareable link. Anyone with the link can play. No account needed.

Host Your Game

What if my game doesn't work?

Most ChatGPT games work immediately. If yours doesn't:

Check you copied everything: Make sure you got the complete HTML, including the opening and closing tags
Single file games work best: If ChatGPT made multiple files, ask it to combine them into one HTML file
External APIs may not work: Games that call external services might have CORS issues

Pro tip: Ask ChatGPT to "make this game work as a single HTML file with no external dependencies" if you're having trouble.

Why host on Star instead of other options?

Star vs. GitHub Pages / Netlify / Vercel

Those are great tools, but they're built for developers. You need to:

Create an account
Set up a repository or project
Configure deployment settings
Wait for builds

With Star, you paste and click. That's it. 30 seconds to a live link.

What you get with Star:

Instant hosting: No build steps, no configuration
Play tracking: See how many people played
Leaderboards: Add competitive scoring
Keep iterating: Use AI to improve your game after hosting
Beautiful social previews: Looks great on Twitter and Discord
