# Games
> Twenty-three games your members play in chat — quick races everyone can join plus 1v1 duels, with points, Game Coin, a perk store and per-game card design. Free on every tier.
Twenty-three games your members play in the channel, with points, coin and XP for winning.
Games must be enabled in [Server Setup](/en/server-management/setup). Everything below can be configured while it is off — a banner is the only warning.
## Playing
`name` is **required**, and it autocompletes: start typing and the picker suggests games **in your server's language**, offering only the games that language can actually play. An optional `entry` proposes a [Prize Match](/en/engagement/prize-matches) on a duel.
Runs a programme of games back to back with a short gap between them. With a target score set it becomes a race — see [Events](#events).
Ends the round, event or duel in the current channel. A stopped game announces nothing, reveals no answer and crowns no winner.
`/coins balance` shows yours. `/coins gift` sends Game Coin to another member. See [Game Coin](#game-coin).
Server standings, with an optional page number. Public, not private — the same ranking as the pinned leaderboard post.
## The games
Twenty of the twenty-three are **quick games**: one prompt, everyone races, the first correct answer wins.
| Game | You answer by | What it asks |
| ----------------------- | ----------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| **Fast Type** | typing | Type the word |
| **Math Sprint** | typing | Answer the sum |
| **Number Retype** | typing | Retype the number exactly |
| **Text Split** | typing | Retype it spaced out |
| **Merge Text** | typing | Retype it with the spaces removed |
| **Reverse Text** | typing | Type it the right way round |
| **Letter Count** | typing | How many letters it has |
| **Guess the Flag** | typing | Name the country |
| **Guess the Capital** | typing | Name the capital city |
| **Starts With** | typing | Any word starting with that letter |
| **Complete the Word** | typing | One letter is hidden |
| **Name the Emoji** | typing | What the emoji is called |
| **Plural** | typing | The plural form |
| **Singular** | typing | The singular form |
| **Guess the Color** | buttons | Pick the colour's name |
| **Find the Odd Emoji** | buttons | One emoji differs |
| **Correct Spelling** | buttons | One of four spellings is right |
| **Find the Odd Letter** | buttons | One letter in the grid differs |
| **Sort Numbers** | buttons, in order | Click 1 to 15 in sequence |
| **Fast Click** | buttons | Click the button that turns green |
The other three are **duels** — head to head, with an optional knockout bracket.
| Duel | How it works |
| ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **Tic-Tac-Toe** | 3x3, first to line up three |
| **Connect Four** | 5x5, first to line up four |
| **Rock Paper Scissors** | Picks are taken in secret, best of 1, 3 or 5 |
**A game can be unavailable in your language.** Plural and Singular ask for a change that Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese do not make; Complete the Word and Correct Spelling need words long enough to hide a letter in, which Chinese has none of and Korean has few.
This is deliberate, not a gap waiting to be filled — those games are simply not offered there, and `/game` will not suggest them.
**23 games** in Arabic, Dutch, English, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Kurdish, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Turkish and Ukrainian. **21** in Japanese, Thai and Vietnamese. **20** in Korean. **19** in Chinese.
## Where games run
By default games run **only in the channels you link** — with none linked, nothing runs anywhere. Switch to *anywhere* if you would rather not manage a list.
| Starter | Basic | Max | Black |
| --------- | ----- | --- | --------- |
| 1 channel | 2 | 3 | Unlimited |
You can also restrict **who may play** and **who may start a game** by role. A blocked role always wins over an allowed one.
## Round settings
Every game is configured on its own page, so one game can be worth more than another.
| Setting | Range | Default |
| ------------------ | -------- | --------------------------------------- |
| **Time limit** | 5-300s | 30s (45s Tic-Tac-Toe, 60s Connect Four) |
| **Points per win** | 0-1,000 | 1 |
| **Coin per win** | 0-100 | 5 |
| **Cooldown** | 0-3,600s | Inherits the server's 5s |
Server-wide:
| Setting | Range | Default |
| -------------------------------------- | -------- | ------------ |
| **Games at once per channel** | 1-10 | 3 |
| **Delete game messages after** | 0-3,600s | 0, keep them |
| **Announce wins** | on/off | On |
| **Reveal the answer when nobody wins** | on/off | On |
Two rounds of the *same* game never run side by side, and one member may only have one round of their own open — regardless of the number above.
## Events
`/event` plays a programme of games one after another. An empty programme means a short random selection of quick games.
| Setting | Range | Default |
| --------------------- | ------ | ------- |
| **Gap between games** | 3-120s | 8s |
| **Target score** | 0-40 | 0 |
**Target score 0** is the default and means the programme plays once and nobody wins the event itself. Above 0 it becomes a **race**: games cycle, and the first member to that many round wins takes the event.
## Duels
A duel opens a join window, then plays. With more than two players it runs a seeded knockout to a single champion.
| Setting | Range | Default |
| ---------------- | ------- | --------- |
| **Join window** | 10-120s | 30s |
| **Bracket size** | by tier | see below |
| Starter | Basic | Max | Black |
| --------- | ----- | --- | ----- |
| 4 players | 8 | 16 | 32 |
A drawn game is **replayed**, never decided by a coin toss, and the first move alternates each replay. Only after four drawn attempts is the seat drawn by lot — and it is said to be drawn by lot.
Two players can also stake Vito on a duel. See [Prize Matches](/en/engagement/prize-matches).
## Game Coin
Game Coin is earned by winning and spent in the [perk store](#the-perk-store). It buys perks and nothing else, and it never becomes Vito or real money.
Paid tiers earn more from the same win:
| Starter | Basic | Max | Black |
| ------- | ----- | ---- | ----- |
| 100% | 100% | 150% | 200% |
**Gifting** is on by default — `/coins gift` sends coin to another member. A server can switch it off, or cap how much one member may send per day.
| Setting | Range | Default |
| -------------------- | ----------- | ------- |
| **Gifts allowed** | on/off | On |
| **Daily gift limit** | 0-1,000,000 | 5,000 |
The daily limit bounds one compromised account, not ordinary play — a stolen session can move a day's worth, not a lifetime's.
## The perk store
Perks are bought with Game Coin during a round, or from a duel's lobby. Prices are yours to set, and any perk can be switched off.
| Perk | Default price | Where | Notes |
| ------------------ | ------------- | ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Boost** | 60 | Any game | Doubles what your win pays. Up to 5 a day |
| **Hint** | 40 | 8 games | A clue that narrows without answering. Costs you 5 seconds of your own round |
| **Extra Time** | 30 | Timed quick games | Adds 10 seconds **for everyone**. Once per round |
| **Best of Three** | 70 | Duels | The loser may buy one more chance, and the winner has to accept |
| **Challenge Call** | 20 | Duels | Pings your games role. Once every 30 minutes, server-wide |
| **Victory Flair** | 40 | Any game | Changes how your win is announced. Cosmetic only |
A price of **0 means free**, which is a different thing from switching the perk off. Both are available.
No perk can buy a better chance of beating another player. Hint costs the buyer time, Extra Time is given to everyone, and Boost only changes what a win you already earned pays out.
## Leaderboard
Standings come from one place, so `/leaderboard` and the pinned leaderboard post can never disagree about who is winning.
Set a leaderboard channel and Vetox keeps a pinned post there up to date. There is no dashboard leaderboard page. Resetting points is `/points-reset`.
## XP
Winning also pays XP into your server's normal [Leveling](/en/engagement/leveling) economy.
| Setting | Range | Default |
| ---------------- | --------- | ------- |
| **XP per win** | 0-500 | 5 |
| **Daily XP cap** | 0-100,000 | 500 |
The daily cap resets on **your server's own leveling reset**, not at UTC midnight.
## Card design
Each game draws its own card, and each game is designed separately — Guess the Flag can look nothing like Fast Type.
Everyone can pick one of four templates and set the accent colour, title, timer and footer. On **Basic** and above you can upload a background and place the elements on it yourself.
Custom layouts require **Basic**.
| Starter | Basic | Max | Black |
| ------- | ----- | --------- | --------- |
| 0 games | 3 | Unlimited | Unlimited |
## Troubleshooting
Check Games is on in Server Setup, that this channel is linked (or that channel mode is *anywhere*), and that Vetox can send messages and attach files here.
Either it is switched off for your server, or your server's language cannot play it — see the note under [The games](#the-games).
The card renderer was unreachable. The round still runs and is still winnable — the question falls back to text.
Only the first *correct* answer wins. If they had bought a Hint, their answers are ignored for 5 seconds. That is what the Hint costs.
The same game cannot run twice at once in one channel, and one member may only have one round of their own open. Raise **Games at once per channel** if you want more running side by side.
Out-of-range values are adjusted to the nearest allowed one rather than rejected. Re-check the field after saving.
Put Vito on the outcome of a duel.
