Hello Everyone!

This website has become such a strong Community of active like-minded people who love to get to know each other. As you know, so much of our content is created for users BY users. This site wouldn’t be what it is now without all of you. So to kick off the involvement of our brand new Community Team, we are hosting the first of many Community Appreciation events. The best part is, everyone will be eligible to participate in this one!

Many of you have been asking about ways to update and optimize our gaming section and as an answer to your requests, we have come up with a fun new contest to help sort these games. In part one of this contest we ask that you help us come up with new game categories that we can add to the list on the gaming page. You can submit these suggestions by replying to this post. Also please Include why you would like to see that category listed.

For any reasonable game category that you suggest (that is not a repeat or already included) we will award 5 SB Points and add them to the list for part two of the contest.

For example, try posting something like "I suggest the category "Visual Novels" because that would make it a lot easier to find apps with illustrated interactive stories" because that has not been added to the official list yet and earn 5 SB Points. This can be done up to 20 times for a total of 100 SB Points. Any suggestions that are made beyond the maximum 20 will still be considered, but SB Points will not be earned.

~*~ Please Note ~*~ All SB Points will be awarded at the end of the contest!

As of now, part one of this contest will end on October 23rd, 2018

*coughs* I suggest 'Otome Games' just because I'm an absolute sucker for those haha

(I'm actually not sure how niche a category it is. For those who don't know, otome games refer to games whose target audience is the female market - all those apps like Shall We Date, or Lovestruck, are pretty much under the category. Perhaps a looser term for the category would be, 'Romance')

Otome is perfect, I will add it to the list ASAP. Thank you Gryphin! :D

How about "Anime", I LOVE anime and I always check anime related games, most of those games suck(just fail to capture the essence of the anime; In my opinion.)...but still anime is my life.

Or maybe even, age related categories... for say for "kids", or "18+".... (I Just don't want a kid to accidentally find a "mature (18+)" game by random.)

How about something related like Professional , I honestly find it difficult to find something that is actually relevant when it terms in apps that can be use in a certain profession. It is kind of cringeworthy, but that would be a big help to people like me.

love the 18+ category 🤗

Thanks for the suggestions @Mark A! I added Mature and Anime, but we already had a "Family " section. We're you more specifically looking for something like "Ages 3-5" then something like "Ages 5-8" and "8-10"? Or just a general kids section?

Can you add RPG, adventure, and simulator. Those genre are my fav, because we don't a list it's hard to find a new games.
Thanks for helping out, @Hans Bloodsmith . @yuyuy90 if you go to Sbenny.com instead of the forum it will show you all the categories games are sorted into.

No lie, to my ears "Family" sounds like a boring collection of board games but as an app. LOL
But it works perfectly i guess...

Thanks for adding Anime and Mature.

"Mature -> @Mark" LOL

I have some minor concerns:
  1. Romance and Otome is a bit the same.
  2. The "Advance Search" in the Games Area can be used to find Online and offline games/apps. Won't Online/Offline categories a bit redundant?
Any thoughts?
