Minigames Premium · €5.99

Tic-tac-toe, Connect Four, trivia, hangman and more - with a server leaderboard.

Minigames is a premium module: €5.99, once, for one server - no subscription. In the dashboard a locked module shows every setting as a preview before you buy. How premium works

Games for two (tic-tac-toe, Connect Four, rock-paper-scissors), games for one (hangman, minesweeper, number guessing), trivia for everyone in the channel (first correct answer wins) and quick ones (coin flip, dice, 8-ball) - plus two channel games that run all day: Count-up and Word Morph.

Setting it up

  1. Optional: limit /game to certain channels (their threads count too).
  2. For the channel games, pick a channel each under Count-up channels and Word Morph channels. Every channel is its own game.

Settings

Everything you can set for this module in the dashboard, in the order the page shows it.

Only allow games in these channelsChannels

Empty = everywhere. Threads in these channels count too.

Trivia answer timeNumber5 to 6020

Count-up channels

Channels where members count up together - maths allowed. Every channel has its own count.

ChannelsChannels

Members type the next number. Maths like (67*3)+1 is allowed. Pangobot reacts with ✅ or ❌. Each channel counts on its own; the current numbers can be changed under "Running games" above.

Nobody may count twice in a rowSwitchOn

Only when “Channels” is set.

A mistake resets the count to 0SwitchOff

A wrong number, or counting twice in a row, starts again at 1. Off = mistakes are just rejected. Only when “Channels” is set.

Word Morph channels

Change one letter at a time to make a new word, with points and a leaderboard. Every channel is its own game.

ChannelsChannels

Change, add or remove one letter to make a new word; longer words score more. Players can vote with !restart or !hint (with your prefix). Leaderboard: /game leaderboard or !lb.

Nobody may play twice in a rowSwitchOn

Only when “Channels” is set.

Extra words that are acceptedListup to 300 entries

Words the dictionary does not know: newer ones (emoji, selfie), names, words of your own community. 3 to 20 letters, a-z only.

Words that are not acceptedListup to 300 entries

Refused even though the dictionary knows them.

Limits

  • Count-up channels: up to 10
  • Word Morph channels: up to 10
  • Extra words that are accepted: up to 300
  • Words that are not accepted: up to 300

Good to know

  • Count-up: members type the next number; maths like (67*3)+1 counts. Pangobot reacts with a tick or a cross. A number in disguise (bold, a spoiler, a keycap emoji, hidden characters) and a message edited into a number get a cross and do not count, so nobody goes by them. Optionally nobody may count twice in a row, and a mistake (a wrong number, or counting twice in a row) resets the count. Two members typing the same right number at the same moment do not break the chain - the second is just not counted. A number your AutoMod removes does not count - Pangobot writes it as maths instead (87+1), which does.
  • Word Morph: change, add or remove one letter to make a new dictionary word. Longer words score more. No word twice in one chain.
  • A Custom Command named lb, restart or hint answers instead of the game's word, for the members and channels it is set up for.
  • Votes in Word Morph: !restart or !hint (or /game wordmorph vote:) opens a vote - three votes within 90 minutes, from members who can write in that channel. A valid word in the meantime cancels the vote and the game goes on, and a vote message that is deleted ends the vote. A hint names the kind of step and shows the word with one letter left open (for a removal: how many of its letters can go), never the word itself. Setting the word or starting a new game closes an open vote.
  • You can add extra accepted words (names, newer words) and Words that are not accepted. Pangobot never opens a Word Morph game with a rude word, and a hint avoids one when another word would do; to keep a word out of the game completely, add it to the words that are not accepted.
  • Private game channels stay private: /game wordmorph, /game countup and the Word Morph leaderboard only show the game channels a member can see. Starting a new game or setting the word or the count - with /game or under Running games on the dashboard - takes Manage Messages and Send Messages in that game's channel, and Pangobot announces the change there with your name. Clear all time for Word Morph keeps the running chain of a channel you cannot see.
  • When the last number or word is deleted or edited - also together with other messages (AutoMod's spam sweep, a purge) - Pangobot says once where the game stands. Messages sent through webhooks never count.
  • /game guess gives 12 guesses in 60 seconds. It is not played in a Count-up or Word Morph channel, where every number is a move.
  • Under Running games, Reset record sets a Count-up record back to the current count, and Clear chain board empties the board of one Word Morph chain while the game goes on. The minigame wins leaderboard can be cleared there too. A game channel deleted in Discord takes its game along.
  • Each member can have five games running at once (60 on the whole server). Only the players keep a game going: a board none of its players touched for 15 minutes ends, even if others press its buttons.
  • A challenged member is pinged once: challenging them again while a game between the two is still running does not ping them again. The ping only happens in a channel where the challenger may write; in a commands-only channel (a read-only #announcements) the board is posted without it.
  • Wins against other members can pay out server currency (see Economy) - at most five times a day against the same opponent (a win that paid nothing does not count towards that). A trivia win over members who answered wrong counts as a win against people. Such a win can also find a lootbox, if Economy is set up for it. Every win still counts on the leaderboard, which counts all time and shows members who are still on the server.
  • /game 8ball shows the question as plain text. In a channel where the member cannot write, only they see the answer, and a question that breaks your AutoMod rules is not posted.

What the bot needs

  • In the Count-up and Word Morph channels: View Channel, Send Messages, Read Message History and Add Reactions - also when Add Reactions is denied for @everyone there, Pangobot's role needs it allowed. Without them the game waits, and Recent problems on the dashboard says what is missing.
