Submitting Scores

How do I submit my score?

1. When you have completed a game that has the High Scores feature, click the "Submit Score" option.
2. On the Submit Scores screen, be sure that the "Submit" tab on the top left is selected.
3. If you're not already signed in, you must enter your Shockwave account screen name or email address and your password. Press the "Submit" button to sign in. If you are not a Shockwave member, press the "Register Now" button to set up a free membership.
4. You can then view your score ranked relative to others on the High Scores list.
5. Click "post score" at the bottom right to submit your score. Or, if you want to try for a higher score, click "play again" and you will return to the game without posting your score.
6. Because the High Scores List has a limited number of rankings, your score may be deleted as higher scores are posted. If you wish to be notified when your score is deleted, check the "Email me" option.

What is the "Email me" option?

Because the High Scores List has a limited number of rankings, your score may be deleted as higher scores are posted. If you wish to be notified when your score is deleted, check the "Email me" option. We will notify you if your score is removed from any of the lists: daily, weekly, and/or monthly. The notification will be sent to the email address associated with your Shockwave account.

Challenge A Friend

What is "Challenge a friend"?

The Challenge feature is a fun way to let your friend(s) know about a game you played and to challenge them to beat your score. Your friend(s) will be sent an email challenging them to beat your score. The email will have your highest score for the game, the name of the game, and links that they can follow to play the game.
