Want to move a Game Center account to do a different Apple ID

My daughter has been on my Apple ID for the last several years. Well, this weekend was her big weekend and she got a new iPhone 6 and iPad and her own AppleID. She Facetimes with her friends and it's getting overly awkward having her friends call me.

I don't game at all ... is there a way to transfer her GameCenter profile to her Apple ID. I currently have my account signed into her Game Center on her devices, but would rather just transfer all of that stuff to her Apple ID. Is there such a mechanism? And what gives, why is there now Game Center support options anywhere on Apple's site?

I have no interest in game scores but...

Apple IDs can not be merged and purchases made on one ID can not be transferred to another. For that reason I would be very surprised if game scores can be transferred. I would bet a paycheck against it.

If she's still in the house, yes she should have her own ID but you should also consider Family Sharing.
