Block Game Requests on Facebook

Facebook games are insanely popular, but not everyone loves getting constant requests from their friends to come play. If you're drowning in Facebook game requests, there are a couple of different ways that you can block them. While you can't outright block all games from ever showing up, you can block anyone you want from sending you requests, or you can block specific games from ever showing up again.

Steps

Blocking Specific Friends from Sending Requests

  1. Go to Settings in Facebook. Log into Facebook and open the Settings page. On the top-right corner of the page, click the small inverted triangle "▾" and then click "Settings".
  2. Open the Blocking page. On the left side of the screen, you will see a tab labeled "Blocking". Click it to open the blocking tools.
  3. Find the "Block app invites" section. Enter the name of the person who keeps sending you game requests. As you type a name, a list of potential matches will appear. Click the name and that person will be added to the block list.
    • Adding a person’s name to this section will only block the app requests from that person; it will not block him/her entirely.
    • You can add as many names to this list as you'd like.

Blocking a Game Completely

  1. Go to Settings in Facebook. Log into Facebook and open the Settings page. On the top-right corner of the interface, click the small inverted triangle and then click "Settings".
  2. Open the Blocking page. On the left side of the screen, you will see a tab labeled "Blocking". Click it to open the blocking tools.
  3. Find the "Block apps" section. If you don't ever want to see a notification about a specific game, no matter who sends it, you can block the game entirely in this section. Enter the name of the game and select it from the matching results.
    • Blocking apps will disable the app from contacting you or getting non-public information about you through Facebook.
    • You can enter as many apps as you'd like.
    • It is not possible to block all games at once. You will need to manually enter each game that you want blocked.

Reviewing and Blocking Your Invites

  1. Open the Facebook App Center. This page allows you to see and add apps, as well as review your recent invitations. You can access the App Center by visiting facebook.com/games. You will need to be logged in with your Facebook account.
  2. Click the "Activity" tab. This is located at the top of the page beneath the search bar, next to the "Find Games" tab.
  3. Check the "Invites" and "Requests" sections. You can navigate between the two sections by clicking their links on the left side of the page. Find any notifications that you wish to block.
  4. Click the "X" button to deny the request. This will open additional options, allowing you to block the sender from sending future requests, or block the entire app itself from ever showing up on your feed.[1]
