I'm still a little confused about what you are wanting to do here. My problem is that there is nothing called "name.id" in your models. The Game model has a name field that will be a text string. Each Game model will also have an implicit primary key field called "id". So there is nothing called "name.id" and filtering on "game.id" will only ever return a single record (or possibly nothing), since the "id" field is unique. Can you provide an example of the behaviour you are looking for? Something along the lines of "if I have these Game instances and I send this value, I want to receive this thing back". Then we should be able to help you. You seem to have solved all the parts that are normally difficult; extracting the right information from your model should be straightforward.
