The easiest way to log a game is from the Home page. Apart from entering the game you played, everything else is optional and only needs to be filled if you’re interested in the stats that will be generated.
<aside> <img src="/icons/report_blue.svg" alt="/icons/report_blue.svg" width="40px" /> If you’re logging from a Planned Game, you can use the Log Play button on the game in your feed. Many fields will be pre-filled.

When you open Aftergame, tap + > ▷Log Play at the bottom of the screen or from any game page.
Choose who sees the play log - By default, the log will be posted to the players in the game but you can also post it to one of the groups you’re a part of.
Choose the game - You can type the name in the search box at the top or scroll through a selection of games from your collections.
Choose the ruleset (not applicable to all games) - Some games have various rules, challenges, end game conditions, etc that you may want to track.
Choose the scenario(s) (not applicable to all games) - select from the list of scenarios provided in the game or make your own.
Duration - Tap Start timer before you start to time your game. When you log the play, the duration will automatically be recorded. Tap the pencil icon to enter the number of hours and minutes the game took to play if you didn’t time it.
Chooses start player (not applicable to all game) - Tap Start player to randomly choose a player from the ones in the game. Tap the pencil icon to record who went first (if you didn’t choose ahead of time).
If you do create a player, you can connect them to a real person later on. You can filter your friends list, search guest players, or find someone new from the search bar.
Add non-players - If you had a teacher that didn’t play the game, a GM, or a judge, these people can be added to the log so they have a record of the game. Add as many as you like and indicate with the tick box if they also played/had a seat at the table.
Choose your team (not applicable to all games) - select your team from the list or make your own.
Choose your characters (not applicable to all games) - If the game has roles, select them from the menu or make your own.
Enter results - Enter scores if applicable. For most games, we will automatically detect the winners but you change them by tapping Won/Lost/Draw. If there are no scores, tap the results box to change what’s displayed. If the game is ranked, you can tap the ranks to adjust them, for example, if two players got the same score, you can indicate who won the tie-breaker by adjusting their rank to be higher than the player who lost the tie.

You can enter multiple numbers into the score field and it will do the math for you, for example, enter 3+25+19-6 and it will show 41. You can go back and edit any part of this number string.
</aside>
Date - It will be auto-filled to reflect the current date but you can change it if you’re logging a game that happened before today.
Location - You can create and save locations so you don’t have to type things each time. Set a default location for play logging to save yourself some time.
Notes - This spot is just for noting anything else from the game that you’d like to remember. It might be a note about a funny moment, a reminder of an anomalous situation that arose, a light jab at a friend who took a bad risk, anything.
:takephoto: Photo - Add a photo to your play log. The photo will be the main image for the play log with the game in a smaller box in the corner.
Save - When you’re ready, tap Create play log at the top of the screen.
Once you’ve saved the play log, it will show up for the friends you played with, too. Anyone connected with the log can edit the details, which will be edited for everyone.
Also, if you play another round, there’s a Play again button on the play log that will pre-fill everything but the results for you.
