Discord game night
A Discord game night on a game nobody has played before
Updated · Türkçe
Quick answer
Teleplay is not a Discord bot or app, and it doesn't need to be: you post a room link in a channel, people open it in their browser and talk in your voice channel as usual. Each room holds 2–4 players, so a busy server runs several rooms at once. Multiplayer is in beta and rooms are invite-only.
Games that work on a voice call
Running the night
1.Pick the game before people arrive
Choose a game below or have your server vote on an idea in a poll, then build the winner while people are still eating.
2.Open a room per group
One room seats 4. For a larger server, split people across voice channels and have one host per channel start a room of the same game.
3.Post the link, not the code
A link is one click on desktop and mobile. Keep the 6-character code for the person who can't click, such as someone reading from a TV.
4.Rotate between rounds
Rematches stay in the same room. To swap players, the host starts a new room and posts a new link.
Three formats that fill an evening
| Format | How it runs | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Bracket | Winners of each room meet in a final room | Competitive servers |
| Build-off | Two makers each build a game from the same sentence, and the server votes | Servers that like making things |
| Change request | After each round the maker adds one thing the channel asks for | Small, chatty groups |
What it won't do
- No Discord Activity, no bot and no slash commands. Your channel carries the link, nothing more.
- No in-game text chat: rooms have 6 preset reactions, and your voice channel does the rest.
- No spectators and no late joining. Seats are taken while the room is in its lobby, and someone arriving after the round starts waits for the next room.
- 3D games are single-player, so a game for a room is always 2D.
Questions
Is there a Teleplay Discord bot?
No. You post the room's link in a channel like any other link. Nothing is installed on your server.
How many people can play at once?
2–4 in one room. There is no cap on how many rooms a server's members can start, within the site's limits on starting rooms quickly.
Does the host need an account?
Yes, the person who starts a room signs in. Everyone joining by link stays signed out if they like.
Can I stream the game on Discord?
You can share your screen like with any browser window, and each player still needs their own seat to play.
