# Custom Games

The platform lets anyone create a custom lobby in any of the games we offer, and use their own referral link or even have it be discord channel, telegram group or token-holder gated, to keep it exclusive. Custom tournaments for your group chats and social media sharing for the clout - all there to make players more likely to invite their friends to join them in the games.&#x20;

Custom games can be public or private:

* **Public -** create a custom lobby, set up your own parameters and tie it to your socials in order to give your existing community a way to follow you in the games. Public custom games will appear in a list in the app and will be accessible to anyone.&#x20;
* **Private -** create games with custom deposit sizes, start dates, number of rounds and add them to your Telegram chats or Discord channels. Challenge friends or friend groups and keep your high-roller lobbies closed. Private custom games are not show in the app - you decide who these games will be accessible to.&#x20;

You can use the games to host special events, or play different game modes:

* Time limited events for boosts in rewards
  * 2x seashell boosted weekend
* Clan battles
  * One token community can rally and fight it out with another
  * Each side deposits their own token in an escrow contract
  * The winning side gets to sell the losing sides token and purchase their own
* Leaderboard challenges where you can challenge your favorite - or least favorite - influencer
