# How to ask an expert a question

> Sometimes a short conversation with an expert can save you weeks or even months in developing your game.

The platform allows you to reach out to users with extensive experience in their field. To ask an expert a question, you need to have an active project. Requests are accepted only regarding games being developed on the platform.

To request a consultation, you need to go to the [Experts](https://gdhub.io/hub/experts) page and select the expert you need.

When you click the Details button, you'll be able to learn more about the expert and the areas where they can help you.

Select the question that interests you, choose the project it relates to, and provide a detailed description of your issue. Once you're done, click Send Request.

Next, the expert will receive a notification about your new request and can either confirm and start communicating with you, or decline if they're busy or unavailable at the moment.

Frequent consultations with an expert make them a candidate for a small share in the project, which is drawn from the Mentor Fund. Its settings can be found on this same page. If there are multiple experts, this fund will be distributed among them.
