Guides

🚀 Getting started
Claim your link
Register with a username. Your page is live right away at identities.lol/yourname.
Make it yours
Open the Dashboard → ◈ Control Deck → Start. Pick a look, then change your colors, name, bio and picture.
Add your socials and links
Control Deck → Socials (logos) and Links (buttons).
Share it
Copy your link from the top of the Dashboard, or tap QR for a QR code. Put it in your Discord, TikTok, Instagram and Twitch bios.
Say hi on the feed
Open Feed, post something, follow people and join the Chat.
📰 Feed and posts
Posting
Write up to 280 characters, add a photo or video (📷), emoji (😀) or a poll (📊). Text faces like :) turn into emoji.
GIFs
Tap GIF in the post box, search, and pick one. A post can have a GIF or a photo.
How the feed works
For you puts new posts first and lets them slide down over a few hours. Posts with lots of likes, replies and reposts stay up longer, and people you follow get a boost. When you post, it goes straight to the top of your feed. New posts from others wait behind the "↑ N new posts" button at the top, so what you are reading never jumps around. Following shows only people you follow, newest first.
Polls
Tap 📊, add 2–4 choices and pick 1, 3 or 7 days. Everyone gets one vote.
Edit, pin and delete
Use the ⋯ menu on your post.
Bookmarks
Tap 🔖 on any post. Only you can see your Bookmarks.
Hashtags
Write #something. Tap a tag to see every post with it. Trending shows the most used ones.
Your feed profile
Profile → Edit profile: picture, banner, name color and style, card background, bio color, font and holiday themes.
💬 Chat and messages
Chat tab
One live room for everyone, plus a private room for each of your teams. React with ☺, send emoji, or tick ⏳ to send a disappearing message (gone after 24 hours).
Messages
Private conversations and group chats, with photos, GIFs, voice calls, reactions and typing indicators. Encrypted before they're stored.
How are messages protected?
Messages, group chats, and photos and videos you send in them are locked with AES-256-GCM before they are stored. The key that unlocks them is kept on a separate server, not next to the messages, so a copy of the website's files alone can't read them.
Is my stuff backed up?
Yes. Every night the whole site is backed up to a separate server we run. Backups are locked with a key only the site owner keeps, so not even the backup server can read them.
Are calls private?
Yes. Voice calls, party voice and webcams all go through our own relay server, so nobody in a call can see your IP address. Only the relay connects to you.
Who can message you
Account settings → Messages.
⭐ Points and levels
What they are
The LV badge on your feed profile. Almost everything you do earns points, and points raise your level and rank. Hover or tap the badge to see your points and how far the next level is.
Feed points
+5 per post, +1 per reply, +2 per like you get, +3 per repost you get, +3 per follower. Liking or reposting your own posts doesn't count.
Game points
Beat a real person +18, draw +9, lose +3. Beat bots +3 (easy), +6 (medium) or +11 (hard), lose to bots +1. Solo games +2. Worms: +1 for every 250 length, up to 8 per life. You can earn at most 150 game points a day.
Streaming points
+50 points once a day when you stream for at least 30 minutes as an approved streamer. Your stream has to be seen live on Twitch or Kick; going live by hand on the Streamers page doesn't count.
Awards and staff points
The Bug Finder award comes with +500 points (given once; if the badge is ever removed, the points go too). Getting approved as a streamer gives +100, getting your team approved gives its owner +150, and joining a team gives +25 (once per team). Staff can also give points for things like winning events. You can see points from staff and awards when you hover or tap your level badge.
Leaving games
If you leave a game you get nothing for it. A win because the other player left pays only +8, so trading wins with a friend doesn't work.
Ranks
Rookie (level 1), Regular (level 3, 6,000 points), Rising (level 5, 20,000), Known (level 8, 56,000), Popular (level 12, 132,000), Famous (level 17, 272,000), Legend (level 25, 600,000) and Icon (level 40, 1,560,000).
How long it takes
Levels get harder as you go, on purpose. A very active member should expect it to take years to reach Icon. Your points never expire, even when old posts are cleared.
Icon perk
Once you reach Icon you can pick your own badge color in Edit profile.
🎮 Games
Playing
Open Games in the top bar, pick one of 25 games, then invite friends or fill the empty seats with easy, medium or hard bots.
Watching
Use + Invite and choose Watch to let someone spectate. Spectators never see hidden cards.
Worms
The live arena at the top of the Games page, running on its own game server. Everyone on the site plays together. Customize your worm before you jump in. If it ever shows "under maintenance", the game server is being updated: it comes back on its own.
Parties
Tap Start a party at the top of the Games page and invite up to 11 friends (12 people in a party). Party chat, voice and webcams are built in. The host picks a game, chooses who sits in each seat (including teams for Spades and Color Clash), and everyone is taken to the table together. Anyone not seated watches.
Who can join
The host picks: 🌐 Open (anyone can find it under Open parties on the Games tab and join), ✉️ Invite only (people need an invite or the link) or 🔒 Closed (nobody new can join, invites and the link are off).
Party invite link
In your party, tap Copy next to Invite link and send it anywhere. Anyone who opens it can join (people without an account can sign up first and land right back on the invite). The host can tap Reset to make a new link; the old one stops working.
Party voice and webcams
Tap Join voice, or Join with camera. Mute yourself or turn your camera off anytime. Camera tiles get smaller as more people join, and the party panel sits under the game so it never covers your buttons. Only turn your camera on with people you know.
Volume
In party voice, hover over (or tap) someone's tile to turn just them up or down, use the 🔊 slider for everyone, or 🎧 Deafen to hear nobody. In calls, tap 🔊 Volume on the call bar. Your volume settings are remembered.
Party host
The host can hand the crown to someone else (👑) or remove someone (✕). If the host leaves, the next person takes over.
Tycoon
The classic property-trading game in 3D (Games → Top games). Roll, buy streets, collect whole color sets to double the rent and build houses, then hotels. Pass on a street and it goes to auction. Trade anything with anyone, mortgage when you're short, and the last player standing (or the richest when the rounds run out) wins. Neon rules add City Events, a Jackpot on Chill Zone and Towers above hotels. Drag the board to spin it, scroll or pinch to zoom, and tap any square for its details.
Lifetime
The classic game of life in full-screen 3D (Games → Top games). Spin, choose college or a job, collect paydays, get married, have kids, buy houses, start side hustles, insure your home, pick the Big City or a Small Town, become a grandparent and retire. Each career has a perk, everyone has a lucky number, and Legacy tiles stay hidden until the end. Retire to Luxury Lane for a shot at 4 bonus tiles, or Quiet Cove for a safe one. Richest at the end wins.
Why don't I see other players' turns?
Tycoon and Lifetime only show your own turn, so you're never stuck watching. Other turns happen in the background, and when it's your go you get a quick "While you waited" summary (money you paid or got, who bought what). Auctions and trade offers still pop up whenever they need you. The 📜 button shows the full game log if you want it.
Controls in the 3D games
Drag to look around, scroll or pinch to zoom, 🎯 jumps back to your piece and 🗺️ shows the whole board. ⛶ goes full screen. In Tycoon, tap any square for its details. Your party shows on the left side while you play, with mute and camera buttons.
Blaster Arena
A third-person arena shooter (Games → Top games). Pick Free-for-all, Team Deathmatch or Capture the Flag and press Quick Play: bots fill empty spots and real players take their place as they join. On a computer, click the game to lock the mouse, then WASD to move, mouse to aim, click to shoot, Space to jump and Tab for scores (Esc frees the mouse). On a phone, the left thumb moves, dragging on the right aims, hold 🔫 to shoot and ⤒ to jump. Grab power-ups: health, shield, rapid fire, speed, scatter gun and rockets. Jump pads launch you onto the towers.
Dead Rounds (BETA)
Co-op zombie survival for 1 to 4 players (Games → Top games). Zombies come in rounds and get tougher every round. Shooting and killing them earns points. Spend points on guns drawn on the walls, on opening doors and the rubble to reach more of town, on the Mystery Crate (a random gun) and on perks. Turn on the POWER in the bank to use most perks and the Upgrade Forge, which makes your gun much stronger. Hold F to rebuild boarded windows, buy things and revive a downed teammate. Controls: WASD move, mouse aim, click shoot, right-click aim, R reload, Shift sprint, V knife, G grenade, Q swap. Perks: Iron Hide (more health), Second Wind (faster revives; solo you get back up yourself), Quick Hands (faster reloads), Double Shot (faster, harder hitting shots), Swift Step (run faster and longer). It's in beta, so tell us about any bugs!
Drift Kings
Kart racing over 3 laps (Games → Top games). Hold drift (Space or Shift, or the DRIFT button on a phone) while turning to slide through corners: the sparks turn blue, then orange, then purple, and letting go gives a bigger boost each time. Drive through ? boxes for items: 🚀 boost, 🎯 a missile that chases the racer ahead, 🛢️ an oil slick to drop behind you, and 🛡️ a shield that blocks one hit. Use an item with E or by tapping the item box. On a phone the gas is automatic (you can switch it off).
Neon 8-Ball
Pool with real physics and full 8-ball rules, 1v1 or 2v2. Drag across the table to aim (or use ◀ ▶ for fine aim), set spin on the cue-ball dial, then pull the power bar down and let go. Sink one group, then call the pocket for the 8. A foul (scratch, wrong ball first, no rail) gives the other side ball in hand: drag the cue ball where you want it.
Playing the 3D games with friends
Type a username in Find a player (it suggests names as you type). If they're in a game you can join, tap Join them. If not, tap Invite: they get a notification and the invite shows on their Games tab. In Blaster Arena and Drift Kings, Quick Play starts on its own after a short countdown; tap ⏸ Wait for friends to hold it until you press Start now. Private match waits for you to press Start. You can also copy the invite link, send it to your party, or paste a link or code into the Join box. Friends can jump into a match that's already running. To join someone's private match from search, they need to follow you (or invite you).
Making the bots easier or harder
Pick Easy, Normal or Hard for the bots before you start (Blaster Arena, Drift Kings, Neon 8-Ball and Tycoon). In a waiting room the host can change it too. Quick Play only puts you with people who picked the same difficulty.
Playing Tycoon or Lifetime with friends
Tap Make a table for friends, then Invite to copy the link (or Send to my party). Fill empty seats with bots and press Start. If you leave or lose connection, a careful bot keeps your seat going until you come back with the same link. Winning against people gives 25 profile points (8 against bots).
Stay in your party on any page
You can leave the Games tab while you're in a party. A slim party bar shows under the top menu on every page (Feed, Messages, your Dashboard…) with mute, deafen and leave voice, so you keep talking while you scroll. Tap Open to go back to the full party. Your camera turns off while you're on other pages and comes back on when you return to Games.
Webcams and open parties are 18+
Turning on a webcam, or making or joining an open party, needs you to confirm you're 18 or older. You enter your birth month and year once, and it can't be changed after. Everyone can still use party chat and voice with people they invite.
Report someone in a party
Hover over (or tap) their tile and tap ⚑. Write what happened and send it. Staff get your note plus the recent party chat. You can also leave the party, or the host can remove them (✕).
Share your Worms score
After a round of Worms, tap 📣 Share score to post a score card on the feed. The score comes straight from the game, and each round can be shared once.
Clearing your list
Tap ✕ on a game to remove it from your list, or Clear finished to remove all done games.

When you're live
Approved streamers show up in the Live now list on the feed and the Streamers page, with a LIVE badge on their feed profile and their page. The site checks every 2 minutes, so it can take a moment to show.
Points for streaming
Getting approved as a streamer gives +100 points. After that, stream for at least 30 minutes and you get +50 points, once a day. It only counts when Twitch or Kick shows you live (not going live by hand).

🏅 Awards and streaks

🛍️ Store

Yes, forever. Everything in the Store is optional: it speeds things up (levels, points, double points) or adds a little extra (Spotlight, extra storage). Badges like Supporter are earned, never sold.
What can I buy?

Can someone log in as Nova?
No. The Nova account has no password, so nobody can log into it.

FAQ

How do I get roles in the Discord?

Go to Account settings → Discord and tap Link Discord. Then the roles come by themselves: Donator (donate to the site), Team Owner (start a team or be made its owner) and Streamer (get approved on /streams). If you lose one of those, the role goes too. It can take up to 15 minutes if you just joined the server.

What is IDENTITIES?

A social platform where everyone gets a page at identities.lol/yourname plus a feed, chat, messages, teams and a leaderboard. Your page is your brand; the feed is where you hang out.

Is it free?

Yes. Everything is free. You can donate to support the site and get the ♥ Donator badge.

How do I change my page?

Open the Dashboard and tap ◈ Control Deck. Every change saves on its own. Or ask Nova, the assistant in the Dashboard, to do it for you.

How do I get on the leaderboard?

Members like your page with the ♥ in the bottom-right corner of it. Share your link and post on the feed so people find you.

How do teams work?

Teams get a custom badge on every member's card, a team page, a private team chat in the Chat tab and a banner. Request one from the Teams page. Owners and leaders invite people with the 🛡️ Invite button on their page.

How do I go live on IDENTITIES?

Open Streamers in the feed menu, apply with your Twitch or Kick channel, and once staff approve it, the site shows you as live (on the feed, your feed profile and your page) whenever you stream.

Who can see my messages?

Only you and the people in the conversation. Messages are encrypted before they're stored. Staff only see messages that someone reports.

Who can see who liked my page?

Only you, in the Your stats card on the leaderboard. No one else.

How do I stop a notification?

For a post you replied in: open its ⋯ menu and pick Stop notifications. For page updates from people you follow: Notifications → Notification settings.

I forgot my password

Use your recovery key on the login page (Forgot password). Without the key, contact staff from the Contact page with proof the account is yours.

How do I report someone?

Use ⋯ → Report on a post, or Report in a conversation. Staff read every report.

Can I change my username?

Yes, in Account settings, a limited number of times. Your old link stops working.

How do I delete my account?

Account settings → Delete account. It removes your page, posts and files for good.

How do I level up?

Post, get likes, reposts and followers, and play games. See Points and levels in the guides above for exactly what each one is worth. Reaching the top rank (Icon) takes a long time on purpose.

Do games give points?

Yes. Beating a real person gives the most (+18), bots give less, and you can earn up to 150 game points a day. Leaving a game gives nothing.

What is Nova?

Nova is the IDENTITIES assistant in your Dashboard. Ask how to do something, or tell Nova what you want ("make my background a dark red gradient with snow") and it changes your page. You can turn it off in its settings.

How do I add fire, lightning or other extra effects?

Control Deck → Background → Extra effects. You can stack as many as you like on top of your background: real animated fire (any color, any height), fog, lightning, northern lights, glitter, shooting stars, fireworks, ocean waves, clouds, light beams, lasers, butterflies, bats, a galaxy, and falling cherry blossoms, leaves, hearts, money, stars or snowflakes. Each one has its own strength slider, and you can show them behind or in front of your card. Or just ask Nova, like “add blue fire but barely visible” or “make it a thunderstorm”.
