Idle games
Light games to keep a slow channel alive: trivia, emoji guess, counting, hi-lo, guess-the-ticker, and a wordle. Anyone can play solo or together. No money, just fun and a points board.
What it is
When a channel goes quiet, games give people something to do together. An admin turns them on per channel with /games on; after that anyone can start one with /play, and Coral will occasionally offer a quick game when the room is slow. Games are social only. No money, no wallet, just a points board.

How to play
Most games take a typed guess: just send your answer as a normal message while a game is running (a number for counting / hi-lo, a 5-letter word for wordle, the phrase for emoji, the symbol for the ticker). Trivia uses tappable buttons. Coral only treats a message as a guess while a game is live in that channel, so normal chat flows through untouched.

Points
Wins earn points that stack on a per-player board across all games (faster wins score more). Points are recognition only. They don't buy anything.
Turning it on
Games are an admin opt-in, set per channel. See Admin controls for the full toggle list. Run /games on in the channel you want games in.
