Guess the Phrase Game

This game is very similar to a 'hangman' style game. The model provides a phrase to CharlesBot and the viewers must attempt to guess the letters until they're able to guess the full phrase.

Starting a New Game

!startphrase [optional flags] [price] [phrase]

This command is used to start a new phrase game. If there is already an active game, it will give an error.

There are various option flags that allow you to modify how the game works.

• -hard: If you’d like to increase the game’s difficulty, simply put -hard before the price. This will only reveal a single occurrence of a guessed letter and require players to tip for each occurrence.
• -guess: If you’d like to only allow people to guess the final phrase if they’ve tried to guess a letter, put -guess before the price.
• -tipnote: If you’d like to only allow people to guess the final phrase inside tip notes, put -tipnote before the price.

By default the game allows anybody to guess the final phrase, even if they haven’t tipped.

Example

!startphrase -hard 15 The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog!

This will start a game with the phrase "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog!" costing 15 tokens per guess with the difficulty set to hard. Viewers will have to tip 15 tokens to guess each individual letter.

Posting the Current Game Status

!phrase

This will make CharlesBot posts the current status of an active phrase game and how to guess a letter.

Ending a Phrase Game

!endphrase

This will end any active phrase game. If there is no active game, it will give an error with instructions on how to start a new game.
