How many moves to record a game?

I'd like to play a few unrated games so the difference between rated and unrated is a multiple of 5 (no real reason aside my own peculiar desire)

I recently started up 4 unrated setpiece games... I've set them up for a variant game of "Upside Down" chess... which; when played proper can result in a fast checkmate in only 3 moves while playing as white (black can do the same thing in 3 moves; but only if white doesn't also try it)

I just won one of these games (as white in only 3 moves)... but I noticed that my game total didn't increase... is the game not being officially recorded because its too few moves? And how many moves must a game go in order to be recorded?

Here's the game I just played:

So the game I played only went 2.5 full moves? (or 5 plys)
