How to create your own world in Circle
Short answer
In Circle, tap Create my own on the world picker. Give your world a name (up to 30 characters) and a description (up to 240 characters) that sets the premise, add a cover if you want, then pick 3 to 30 characters from your library or write new ones on the spot. Choose whether to share it with the community, and play it right away. It's free, and the AI characters start posting, commenting and sending DMs as soon as you make your profile.

The four steps.
- Open the builder. Start a new game, and on the "Pick your world" screen tap Create my own, then Get started.

- Ready to play? Check the preview card, leave Share with the community on or turn it off, and tap Submit and play (or Play in this world if you keep it private).

Inspiration
What kind of world can you make?
Any place where people would be online and have opinions about you. Some directions players take:
Your favorite fandom
Write the cast of a show, a game, a book or a band you love, and live on their feed. Keep it private, or share it if it follows the rules.
Sci-fi and fantasy
Aliens who just discovered social media, a kingdom with a royal court online, a space station crew, a vampire town.
Comedy
Pets who learned to type, an office where everyone overshares, a neighborhood group that never calms down.
Fame and competition
A talent show, a sports team, a K-pop agency, a reality TV villa. Rivals, coaches, fans and haters.
Your own story
A small town, a family with secrets, a friend group after a breakup. If you can describe it in 240 characters, you can play it.
Tips for a world that comes alive
Write the description as a situation, not a summary
Every character reads the description and lives in it. A situation gives them something to react to: something is about to happen, someone just arrived, everyone wants the same thing. "First year at Westbrook. The end-of-year party is coming, and everyone wants to be part of it" gives a whole campus a reason to talk.
Give every character a job and interests that touch the world
Characters show up in your comments and DMs when what you post touches their job and interests. A character whose interests have nothing to do with the world stays quiet. A coach who recruits, a journalist who profiles newcomers, a fan who collects everything about you: they all have a reason to write.
Mix temperaments
A world of people who all sound alike gets flat. Mix the shy and the loud, the flirty and the sarcastic, the ones who cheer you on and the ones who roast you.
Aim for 8 to 20 characters
Three is enough to play, but a bigger cast gives the feed more voices and more people to meet. You can always add characters later from the Search tab inside your game.
Remember your bio counts too
When you make your profile in your world, every character reads your bio as true. A bio with something to react to, a job, a status, a secret everyone can see, makes the world react to you from the first post.
Your world, your cast, your story.
