Play games on your overlay

Duel arena, Boss battle, Trivia card, Bingo card, Prediction race, Chat crowd and Chat pet - chat plays them on stream.

These games live on your stream overlay. Chat plays them with commands, and the bot answers in chat. Each one only works while its widget is on your overlay and the layout is saved.

Add a game

  1. Open Stream Overlay and click Add widget.
  2. Pick a game. The Duel arena, Boss battle, Prediction race, Trivia card and Bingo card are under Games & polls. The Chat crowd and Chat pet are under Chat & viewers.
  3. Move and size it, then press Save changes on the bar at the bottom (Save settings on the website). Your overlay has to be in OBS as a Browser source - the Put overlays and alerts on your stream guide shows how.
  4. Click Edit on its row under Widgets to open its settings. (On the website, clicking its box in the preview works too.) That is where you change the command words, who can play, points and the rest.

Duel arena

Two chatters fight with their characters on stream. The bot decides the winner.

  1. A viewer types !duel @name. They can only pick someone who chatted in the last 10 minutes - never the bot.
  2. The other viewer types !accept (or !decline). They have 30 seconds.
  3. The fight plays on your overlay. When it ends, the bot says the winner in chat.

To bet points, a viewer types !duel @name 100. Both of them need that many points, and the winner takes both bets. Bets need your points economy on, and Allow a points wager on in the widget's settings.

!class picks a fighting class: warrior, rogue, necromancer, wizard, ranger or cleric. !class on its own shows yours and your duel level. !outfit shows what a viewer wears and how to unlock more.

A mod (or you) types !duel cancel to stop every duel. Any points bet are given back. A viewer can take back their own challenge the same way.

With your overlay open in OBS, the bot waits until the fight is over on screen before it says who won, so chat doesn't spoil it. With no overlay open, it says the winner straight away.

Settings to know: Who can start a duel, Seconds to accept, Wait between one viewer's challenges, Only challenge people who chatted in the last (minutes), Smallest wager and Biggest wager, Say challenges and results in chat, and Extra wait before the result in chat (seconds), for a stream that runs behind, like YouTube's delay.

The lines the bot says for a game - the challenge, the fight starting, the winner and more - can be reworded on the Commands page.

Boss battle

A boss with a health bar appears on your overlay. Chat messages hit it - each chatter counts once every few seconds. Bits, subs, Kicks, Super Chats and tips hit harder.

Start one with the Start boss battle button in the widget's settings, or a mod types !boss start. !boss end stops it. Anyone can type !boss to see its health, the time left and the top hitters.

Beat it before the time runs out and everyone who hit it can win points (Points for every hitter when it falls). If time runs out, it gets away.

Trivia card

A question shows on your overlay. The first right answer in chat wins points. Capitals and accents don't matter.

A mod types !quiz next to ask one, !quiz reveal to show the answer and !quiz stop to take it down. Anyone can type !quiz to see the question again. The same buttons are in the widget's settings.

Write your own questions in Your questions, one per line, as Question = answer. Or leave it to the starter questions. Ask one by itself every (minutes) asks them for you while you're live and chat is talking.

Bingo card

Your own squares, marked off as things happen on stream. A full row, column or diagonal celebrates.

You and your mods mark a square with !mark 7 (or a few of its words). !mark undo 7 takes it back, and !mark reset starts a new card. You can also click the squares in the widget's settings.

Viewers can play too. A viewer types !bingo and gets a link to their own card. When they have a full line, they type !bingo claim. The bot checks their card, and the first few win.

Prediction race

Your poll or prediction, drawn as a race. Votes push the racers, and the winner crosses the line. It has no command of its own - start a poll or a prediction the way you always do, and it shows up.

Chat crowd

Everyone who chats walks along the bottom of your overlay as a little character, with a speech bubble. They cheer for subs, gifts and raids.

Viewers dress theirs with !look - !look red, !look crown cool, !look random or !look reset.

Turn on Chat vote: let chat pick everyone's personality, and a mod can type !crowd vote. For a minute, chat votes with !crowd vote chill (or cheerful, energetic, shy, sleepy, dramatic, grumpy).

Chat pet

A pet the whole chat looks after. It grows as chat talks, and loves subs and gifts.

Viewers type !pet to see how it is, and !pet feed, !pet play or !pet pat (or just !feed) to look after it. Each viewer waits a little between turns.

Chat votes are off at first. Turn one on in its settings - the creature, its color, its hat or its personality. Then a mod types !pet vote (or !pet vote color, !pet vote hat, !pet vote personality), and chat votes - for example !pet vote cat.

Every command word can be changed in the widget's settings. A command you made yourself with the same name always wins.
