How do you call this? Say you have a small webgame, is there one common word for things like the startscreen, registrationscreen, endscreen, options, etc.
So you have the 'Game Core' and 'XXX'.
It's being used for writing an offer.
I thought about the word chrome that is sometimes used, but I have the feeling that refers more specfic to the UX elements on i.e. the game screen.

Chrome is strictly a programming term and should not be used.

I agree, it sounds too nerdy. @alwayslearning, could be.. but that still sound really specific. I'm looking for something that could also include the registration process, invite a friend, social buttons etc

Sounds like that stuff "around" the core is peripheral.

You could call that stuff the game user interface or game UI or game interface. Doing a google search on any of the above returns a ton of results.
From here:
UI, or User Interface, refers to the methods (keyboard control, mouse control) and interfaces (inventory screen, map screen) through which a user interacts with your game. UX, or User Experience, refers to how intuitive and enjoyable those interactions are.

Going by OP's word usage, what you're describing is also part of the 'Game Core'. Technically speaking, everything that is made visible by the game (or even just your computer) is UI. But in most cases, especially gaming, UI is intended to mean "things the player sees, but the characters in the game world cannot".
