Chat games that actually grow your stream

A quiet chat is a stream that’s hard to grow. Chat games turn lurkers into typers — here are the ten built in to Stream Repeater and how to start one.

Why games move the needle

Engagement is the metric every platform quietly rewards. A viewer who types is a viewer who stays, and a chat that’s moving pulls new arrivals in. Games are the simplest reliable way to get that first message out of a lurker.

Ten games, built in

Stream Repeater ships ten chat games — no bots to wire up:

  • Hangman — turn-based letter guessing (free-to-play, or reward gifters).
  • Word Scramble — first to unscramble the word wins.
  • Trivia, Riddle Me This and Finish the Phrase — question packs or your own.
  • Emoji Guess — decode the emoji rebus.
  • Countdown — make the longest word from the letters.
  • Guess the Number, Math Blitz and the new Number Sequence — generative, no packs needed.

Running one takes a minute

Pick a game on the Engage page, choose free-to-play or gift-to-play, and go. Add the one-link game overlay as a browser source (or let the Local Agent broadcast the whole scene) and your chat is playing — with on-screen winners, a leaderboard, sound effects and a full-screen confetti burst when someone wins.
