My wife and I use the same Apple ID but want to have individual game enter accounts. Is this possible? Or does my wife need to set up her own Apple ID? Any one got any ideas?
iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.4
Any given Apple service - iCloud, game center, these forums, iMessage, etc, can only have a single account for any given AppleID.
If you want separate accounts for any Apple service(s), you will have to use separate AppleIDs.

This is not correct you can have multiple game center acconts.
Nobody said you could not have multeple game center accounts, so I am not sure what your point was? You can have as many AppleIDs as you wish (or have email addresses for), but any one AppleID can only be assoicated withi one Game Center Account. To use another game center account, you will have to log out with the current AppleID and login with a different AppleID.
The OP specifically asked about multiple game center accounts using only a single AppleID, and that is not possible.
That's strange as our household has got multiple game centre accounts hooked up to the single iTunes account!
After 2 hours worth of searching with no answer, I decided to run a test and it worked. This is what I did to have multiple Game Center IDs on iOS7. (People responding may have over looked this detail because they assumed it was obvious, but it wasn't)
Answer: you MUST have multiple Apple ID accounts, however, you use the main one to log in to SETTINGS > ITUNES & APP STORE.
1. I deleted the Alternate Email Address associated with my account
2. I created an entire new Apple ID with this email address
3. I login in to SETTINGS > ITUNES & APP STORE with my original Apple ID (credit card on file)
4. I login to Game Center, iCloud, etc... with my kid's NEW Apple ID
So purchasing still goes under our shared account and game center, iCloud, etc... go under my kid's Apple ID.
^ ^ ^ ^ This is the simple straight forward answer I was looking for ^ ^ ^ ^
I just did this and it replaced *my* email with the new email instead of creating an extra new account? Not sure what I did wrong..
You should never share your Apple-ID with anyome else, not even with your wife. It it meant to represent exactly one Person across all its devices. Use family sharing instead.
Can I have multiple Game Center accounts with one Apple ID?
