Guess the Flag
A flag appears — race to type the country
Category: Trivia · Players: free-for-all · Status: Stable
A geography speed-run. Each round shows a country’s flag; chat races to type the country name. The first correct guess wins the round and ends it. Play a set of rounds; the most flags named takes the crown.
Gameplay
A flag fills the stage. No timer pressure from a reveal — it’s pure recognition speed.
Type the country’s name in chat — no command. Friendly aliases are accepted, so USA, America, and United States all count, as do UK and South Korea.
The first correct guess ends the round and banks a point; the host then advances to the next flag.
Late joiners are welcome between rounds — there’s no elimination, so a viewer arriving mid-set just starts scoring from the next round.
How matching works
Guess the Flag is a recognition race with forgiving name-matching, so you’re never punished for spelling a country the common way. See Answer matching for the shared rules.
- Aliases count. Each country carries a set of accepted names — official, common, and abbreviated — so USA / America / United States all resolve to the same answer.
- Case and punctuation do not matter. Type it however you like.
- The answer stays hidden. The country name isn’t in the live data until the round ends, so it can’t leak early.
Configuration
| Option | Values | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Rounds | 3–85 | 10 |
| Scoring | First to claim — fastest finger wins the round · Fastest worth more — everyone who’s right scores | First to claim — fastest finger wins the round |
| Seconds per round | Seconds | 0 |
| Gift hint | a gift that reveals letters of the country | Off until set |
Letter-hint gift. Off until the host picks a gift. When set, sending it uncovers letters of the current country’s name for the whole room, up to a cap (see Gifts).
Layout
- Marquee — game title and how-to hint.
- Round + hint strip — round number, and the letter-hint gift when configured.

- Name skeleton — the country name as blanks, with any gift-revealed letters filled in.
- Leaderboard — players ranked by flags named.
The game moves through Lobby → Round → Revealed → Finished.
Gifts
Guess the Flag’s gift is a cooperative letter hint — the same capped reveal as Chatexto. It’s off unless the host sets it.
- Each send uncovers about 10% of the name’s letters (scaled to length), at random positions.
- Reveals are capped at ~70% of the letters — the rest is always won by guessing, so a gift can never buy the answer.
Scoring
- Each flag named adds one to your per-streamer win count (which drives avatar ring tiers).
- The most flags named across the set wins; ties are shipped as co-winners.
- Wins are tracked per streamer.
