Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a first client system of a first user of an online social network responsive to a call to a switch-context application programming interface (API), a request to switch game contexts from a first game context to a second game context within a gaming platform running on the first client system; providing, responsive to the request via the switch-context API, instructions for presenting a prompt to the first user for switching game contexts from the first game context to the second game context; receiving, from the first client system via the gaming platform, an indication the first user has confirmed switching game contexts from the first game context to the second game context; and providing, in response to the indication, instructions to the gaming platform for switching game contexts from the first game context to the second game context.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to enabling access to a game instance through a social network system. A client-side player component facilitates communication between a game instance on the client device and a backend server of a social networking system. The communication information can be stored in or retrieved from a social graph of the social networking system. The game instance can be initialized from a social platform of the social networking system, and the game can be played without leaving a social network application.
