Communities, Accounts & Partners

 

To use Grampy’s Games, you need to be at least one of two types of user – an administrator or a community member. You are responsible for maintaining and securing your account credentials and will be solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account unless such activity occurs due to unauthorized access. Do not share your username and password with others.

 

Administrators

 

Administrators are the creators of one or more communities, who can select the community name and invite players to join by creating accounts for each player within the community. Administrators are responsible for creating, maintaining, updating, and sharing login credentials for the accounts associated with any community the administrator makes. To remove a community member you can do so from through the settings button after you have logged in.  To  delete a community, or delete your account, please email info@grmapysgames.com.  If an administrator is under 13 years old or intends to invite a community member who is under 13 years old to join a community, the administrator must have parental consent or provide a parent’s email address so we can obtain parental consent for the user under 13 years old to join Grampy’s Games.

 

Community Members

 

Community members can change their username, nickname, and passwords within a community to play games with the administrator and other community members within that specific community. If you have been invited to join multiple communities or are an administrator and community member for different communities, you may have separate accounts and login information for each community. To delete your account or leave a community, you can contact the administrator of the individual community.

 

Partners

 

          In order to play any of our two-player games, you will need to choose a partner out of a list of online community members who are ready to play. If you do not recognize an account in your community, we recommend you or your parent reach out to the administrator to confirm that account’s identity before playing a game with that account.

Video & Audio Streaming

 

What makes Grampy’s Games so special is the real-time audio and video connection community members can have while playing the free online games we offer.

If you no longer want to share video and audio with your partner, you can click on the pause button or leave the game. If you do not want to see or hear your partner leave the game.
