This topics describes how to use Play Games Services events in Unity games.

## Before you get started

Set up your Unity project and the Google Play Games plugin for Unity. For details, see the[Get started guide](https://developer.android.com/games/pgs/unity/unity-start).

## Create events

You create events in Google Play Console. For details, see the[events guide](https://developer.android.com/games/pgs/events#create-event)for Play Games Services. After you create your events, add their Android resources to the plugin as described in the[get started guide](https://developer.android.com/games/pgs/unity/unity-start).

## Record events

To increment an event, call the following method:  

        using GooglePlayGames;
        ...
        // Increments the event with Id "YOUR_EVENT_ID" by 1
        PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.Events.IncrementEvent("YOUR_EVENT_ID", 1);

You only need to make this call once. It handles batching and execution in the background.
