Twitter wants to help people connect in different ways. Playing games together offers a new option. This is part of Twitter’s effort to expand social interactions. The company sees games as a way to build community. Users might form stronger bonds through shared play.

The test is happening now. A small group of users can try the feature. They can choose from several classic board games. Twitter is starting with simple, well-known games. The games work inside the Twitter app. Users do not need to leave Twitter to play.

Participants start a game by sending invites. Friends accept the invite to join the game. Everyone plays in real-time. The game appears directly in their Twitter feed. Players take turns making moves. The system handles the game rules automatically.

Twitter is gathering feedback during this test. The company wants to know if users enjoy it. They also need to check if the technology works well. Twitter will use this input to improve the feature. Future plans depend on the test results.

This idea comes from seeing people seek connection online. Many users want activities beyond posting tweets. Virtual game nights could fill that gap. Twitter believes games can make the platform more engaging. It is another step to enhance user interaction.
