As for /var/lib/bsdgames, then it’s up to the admin to set the right

Yep, I think making it work in GuixSD is enough :)
Other distros have their own package.
I tried adding a gnu/services/games.scm and mimicking what the other
services did, but I don't even know how to trigger the code.
I would appreciate any help.

I always thought the unix way was rather nice. The scores file was owned by
"games" and programs which wanted to write to them were setuid games.
That way everyone on the system shares the same scores file.
Yes, some of these games maintain and query a system-wide top scores
list so users can try to beat each other's top scores.

I'm a bit wary about GuixSD packages declaring being able to write to

it were world-writable to all "users" group users it would be okayish.
This is exactly how this package does it - it installs initial, empty
score files and chgrp's them to 'users'.
