Everybody Edits was a game originally created by Chris Benjaminsen. It was a real-time, multiplayer, two-dimensional platform game where players interact and create worlds for others to enjoy. There was no real goal in the game, rather it acts as a sandbox where users can create experiences for each other.
The game officially released March 13, 2010.
The game was discontinued on December 30, 2020 7:00 PM EST and it was replaced by Everybody Edits Offline.
