Hello Jamescp21,


Thanks for that info and choosing the Apple Support Communities. If I understand correctly, you are unable to open requests in the Messages app to play a game from the App Store for iMessage. To help resolve this issue, first follow these steps:



Use iMessage apps on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


If that doesn't help, force close the Messages app and restart your iPhone as the shut down and start up process is important to keep the iOS software running properly. iOS clears cached data and does other system optimizations when you turn your device off and on.


Force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Cheers!
