#Where to find published worlds

Explore is the main discovery page. It ships with four collections and a full category tree. You can use any of these without signing up.

• Trending. worlds with the highest play velocity in the last 7 days.
• New. published in the last 14 days, sorted by recency.
• Popular. all-time play counts.
• Top Rated. highest average rating from at least 20 sessions.

#Filtering and search

The sidebar on Explore lets you filter by genre, mechanics, tone, and content policy tier. The category tree mirrors the 16 genre archetypes. pick one to narrow the feed, or leave everything unchecked to browse everything at once.

#Playing someone else's world

Click any world card to open its detail page. You'll see the creator, genre tags, a short description, and a play button. Hit Play and you're dropped into a fresh session of that world. your own save, separate from everyone else's.

1. Open Explore and filter or browse to find a world that looks interesting.
2. Click the world card to view details, cover art, and the lore book.
3. Hit Play to start your own session. The original creator isn't notified. your session is private.
4. If you love the world, tap the star to favorite it so it shows up on your home dashboard.

#Sharing what you find

Every world has a permanent URL that works without login. Share it in Discord, Twitter, or text. anyone who opens the link can preview the world and start their own run immediately. Creators get a play-count bump every time someone starts a session from a shared link.

#Find creators, not just worlds

Worlds aren't the only thing you can browse. The creators directory shows every account that's published at least one public world or character, sorted by trending, most-followed, newest, or most worlds. Accounts with nothing public don't appear — they're an account, not a creator.

• /creators — the public landing version, no login needed. Linkable to anyone.
• /app/browse/creators — the in-app tab, with a suggested-creators rail down the right side (second-degree follows + creators of worlds and characters you've favorited).
• The nav search (placeholder reads "Search worlds, characters & creators…") matches usernames, display names, and any publicly set personal-detail field. Private fields never appear in search results.

Pagination is 30 creators per page. You can click page numbers directly, or use arrow keys (← → for prev/next, Home / End to jump to first or last).

#Pinned items and collections

Creator profiles surface two curation surfaces beyond the auto-generated published list:

• Pinned items (up to six) — worlds and characters the creator chose to feature at the top of their profile.
• Collections — named, shareable lists of public worlds and characters. Live at wilds.ai/yourname/collections/your-slug with the same three-audience visibility (public / followers / private) as personal-detail fields.

Make your own collections from any world or character card — click the bookmark icon on the cover, pick an existing collection or start a new one. Collections are how you save a themed group like "horror worlds I've finished" or "characters I want to revisit", and they're shareable on their own URL.
