How to Share Your Claude Artifact Game

Why can't I just send my Claude artifact link?

Claude's artifact sharing has limitations. When you share a Claude conversation, the other person needs a Claude account. The artifact might not render correctly. And you can't track plays or add features like leaderboards.

For a game you want friends to actually play, you need to host it somewhere permanent.

Method 1: Host on Star (Recommended)

The fastest way to get a shareable link for your Claude artifact game:

1. Copy your artifact code: In Claude, click the code icon or "Copy code" on your artifact
2. Go to buildwithstar.com/host: Paste your code in the text box
3. Click "Host My Game": You'll get an instant shareable link

What you get with Star hosting:

• Permanent shareable link: Works forever, no account needed to play
• Play tracking: See how many people played your game
• Leaderboards: Add competitive scoring to any game
• Keep iterating: Chat with AI to improve your game after hosting
• Social previews: Looks great when shared on Twitter/Discord

Method 2: Share Claude Conversation Link

You can share your Claude conversation directly, but there are limitations:

1. Click the share button in your Claude chat
2. Copy the conversation link
3. Send to friends

Downsides: Recipients may need a Claude account. Artifacts don't always render. No play tracking. Can't add features.

Method 3: Download and Self-Host

For technical users who want full control:

1. Copy the HTML code from your artifact
2. Save as an index.html file
3. Upload to Netlify, Vercel, or GitHub Pages

Downsides: Requires technical knowledge. No built-in features. More setup time.

Should I use Star or host it myself?

Use Star if you want:

• A link in under 1 minute
• Play tracking and analytics
• Leaderboards for competitive games
• The ability to keep improving your game with AI
• Social preview cards when sharing

Self-host if you need custom domains, full code control, or have specific technical requirements.
