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.

The games

Trivia

A multiple-choice question with answer buttons. First correct tap wins. Mix of general knowledge and crypto.

Emoji guess

Coral posts an emoji puzzle (🦈🍟); type the phrase. First correct answer wins.

Counting

The community counts up together. No posting twice in a row; a wrong number resets the streak. Coral tracks the best run.

Hi-Lo

Coral picks a secret number from 1 to 100. Guess, and Coral says higher or lower until someone lands it.

Guess the ticker

Coral drops hints (sector, a vibe emoji, the first letter) and you type the token symbol.

Wordle

Guess the 5-letter word in six tries with 🟩🟨⬜ feedback. Play your own board (solo) or share one (group). The day's word is the same for everyone in the channel.

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.
