# GKInviteEventListener A protocol that handles invite events from Game Center. ``` protocol GKInviteEventListener ``` ## Overview Implement the methods in the [`GKInviteEventListener`](/documentation/GameKit/GKInviteEventListener) protocol to accept invitations from other players or handle when other players accept invitations from the local player. Adopt the [`GKLocalPlayerListener`](/documentation/GameKit/GKLocalPlayerListener) protocol to listen for and handle a variety of Game Center events for player accounts instead of the individual [`GKChallengeListener`](/documentation/GameKit/GKChallengeListener), [`GKInviteEventListener`](/documentation/GameKit/GKInviteEventListener), [`GKSavedGameListener`](/documentation/GameKit/GKSavedGameListener), and [`GKTurnBasedEventListener`](/documentation/GameKit/GKTurnBasedEventListener) protocols. For details, see [Finding multiple players for a game](/documentation/GameKit/finding-multiple-players-for-a-game). ## Topics ### Starting a New Match [`- player:didAcceptInvite:`](/documentation/GameKit/GKInviteEventListener/player(_:didAccept:)) Handles the event when the local player accepts an invitation from another player.
