Make your “9 games that made me” grid
Tap a square, type a game, pick it. When the grid is full, download a clean image to share. It is the classic my 9 games template, and if nine feels too tight you can add up to 16 games. No hunting down cover art or lining up screenshots yourself.
Search the way gamers talk
Type games the way you say them: acronyms (botw, rdr2, bg3), nicknames (melee, silksong, new vegas), numbers either way (ff7 = ffvii), remakes (re4 remake) and typos (skyrm) all find the right game.
Questions
What is the "9 games that made me" trend?
Players post a 3×3 grid of the nine games that shaped them — usually a mix of childhood favorites, the game that got them into a genre, and the ones they still replay. It is a quick way to show your history as a gamer and compare it with friends.
Is this my 9 games template free?
Yes. No sign-up, no watermark on the grid beyond a small site credit, and nothing to install — it runs in your browser.
How do I find a game if I don't remember its exact title?
Type it the way you would say it. Acronyms, nicknames, numbers written either way and common typos are all understood, so "botw", "gta sa", "ff14" or "hollow night" land on the right game.
Can I pick more than 9 games?
Yes. Use the + button next to the title to go up to 16 games. Past nine the grid switches to rows of four, with a shorter last row centered (a full 4×4 at sixteen), and the downloaded image uses the same layout.
How do I share my grid?
"Download image" saves a 1080px-wide PNG for X, Reddit, Discord or Instagram. "Copy link" gives you a link that reopens your exact grid, so friends can see it or make their own.
