For streamers and their viewers

Audience game: players write, viewers vote

A game for streamers who want to involve their viewers: you and the other players write the words, viewers on their phones vote on every word and send reactions. It also works for competitions, in the classroom and at company events. No account and no installation.

How the audience game works

From creating the game to the results: what the players do and what the viewers do.

  1. Create an audience game

    When you create a game, turn on Audience game in the advanced options. In the lobby you then see a special link for viewers and a QR code you can show on a projector or send to your viewers.

    QR code for viewers. A viewer scans it with a phone and watches the game right away, with no account and no installation.

  2. Who can watch

    Anybody with the link or the QR code, with no registration and no app to install. Next to every player you see an eye with the number of people currently watching them.

  3. Viewers follow what is being written

    A viewer chooses a player to watch and sees what they write. They can support the player with a reaction.

  4. Voting on words

    For every word, a viewer marks whether they think it is valid. Players see the sum of the votes of all viewers next to each word, and viewers' votes are counted together with the players' votes, so they decide on the validity of words together.

  5. Reactions

    Viewers can add reactions to words: heart, laugh, thumbs up, anger, surprise. Players see them next to their words and next to their name in the results.

  6. At the end of the game

    Viewers vote on the categories of the next game too. The Game Master sees the votes of the players and of the viewers separately and together.

How to set up a game for a stream

Only one setting is required, the others are useful when you want the broadcast to keep its pace. You find them in the advanced options when creating a game.

Audience game

The basic setting. Viewers get their own link and QR code, players join as usual.

Setting: Audience game Setting: Audience game
Setting: Audience game

Time to confirm the words

After a round the words are voted on. A time limit makes sure the stream doesn't wait for players or viewers who don't vote.

Fixed time for writing words

The round ends when the time limit runs out, not only with the STOP button. The broadcast has a predictable pace.

Frequently asked questions

How many viewers can the game handle?

For now we limit the number of viewers in one game. The feature is new, so the limits are lower. We will adjust them based on demand and server load.

Do viewers need an account?

No. A link or a QR code is enough, viewers join from a phone with no registration.

Do viewers decide on the words?

Viewers' votes are counted together with the players' votes. If the game is run by a Game Master, the viewers' votes are advisory and the Game Master decides.

How do I use it on a stream?

Show the QR code or paste the link for viewers into the chat. Players play on the screen and viewers vote on their phones.

How do I turn on the audience game?

In the advanced options when creating a game (the option is called Audience game).
