Get your daily game featured
Put your free daily game in front of everyone who opens Today's Dailies. The Featured section is the first thing on the home page, above the day’s puzzles, on phones and on computers: one big banner, then a row of four cards.
How featuring works: a paid spot says Sponsored on the banner or card itself, and its link is marked rel=“sponsored”. Spots that say Featured are the site’s own unpaid picks. Paying never changes a game’s listing, its place on the shelves or what is written about it, and being listed stays free.

Where it shows
The Featured section opens the home page. On top is the banner: one game, large, with its icon, its name, a line about it, its site and a Play button. A Feature books it for a week, one game at a time. Under it sits a row of four cards, each with the game’s own icon, its name, a line and its site; a Spotlight books one of them for a week. Several Spotlights can run at once, one to a card, and when more than one runs they take turns in the order from day to day. Whatever no sponsor has booked shows the site’s own picks, so the section never changes shape.
A Feature also puts the game first at the top of its category page, above the shelf’s first games, for the same seven days.
Dates and payment
Spots run on New York time: from midnight on the start date for seven full days. Tell us the earliest date that suits you, and we confirm the closest free one by email before anything runs. Each spot is one payment, taken by Stripe on its own page: nothing renews, and we never see your card. If we can’t approve the game, or can’t find dates that suit you, you get a full refund. Once a spot has started it runs to its end; if the site or the spot is down for part of a day, we add a day.
What you get back
When the spot ends we email you its impressions and clicks, by day. An impression is the banner or card at least half on screen for a second; a click is the spot opened. Your own analytics see the visits too: every link to your game carries utm_source=todaysdailies, utm_medium=referral and utm_campaign=featured-home (or featured- and the shelf, from a category page).
Questions
Does my game have to be listed already?
No. Send it with your request: it gets the same checks as every suggestion and is listed for free whether or not you book a spot.
Can I buy a better place in the lists, or a review?
No. The shelves, the “games like” lists and the guides are never for sale, and neither is anything written about a game. Only the Featured banner and row sell, and every paid spot in them says Sponsored.
Can I book more than one week?
Yes. Say how many weeks in your request, and we confirm the dates for all of them at once.
What does the spot say about my game?
The same line its listing here shows, written from the game’s own page. Ask in your request if you would like it changed, and we will rewrite it if it reads wrong.
