# 🤝 Alliances & Social Play
Alliances turn solo movement into a **shared journey**. Instead of playing alone, players can team up, progress together, and grow as a community.
### What Alliances Do
* Unlock shared bonuses for all members
* Open access to group challenges and events
* Create friendly competition between teams
### Why Alliances Matter
* Staying active is easier when others are moving with you
* Shared goals help players stay consistent over time
* Progress feels more rewarding when it’s achieved together
Alliances are optional, but they add **a strong social layer** for players who enjoy teamwork, motivation, and growing alongside others.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.gearrunner.app/game-modules/alliances-and-social-play.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
