Who Am I
Name the celebrity as clues stack one at a time
Category: Trivia · Players: free-for-all · Status: Beta
Who Am I is in beta — details may change.
Guess the celebrity from a six-clue staircase. The round opens on one vague clue (“Late-20th-century American athlete in a major team sport”); the host — or a gift — drops the next clue on top, narrowing toward the answer. Chat races to type the name, and the earlier you call it, the more points you score.
Gameplay
A vague opening clue appears. If you already know who it is, type their name — no command.
Each new clue narrows it down — but the bounty drops with every clue that drops.
The first correct guess wins the round and banks its points.
How the clue staircase works
The round starts vague and sharpens one clue at a time — so the reward is highest when you can name the persona off the least information.
- One clue at a time. Up to five guessing clues stack from vague to specific; the sixth clue is the name itself, shown only on the reveal.
- Earlier is worth more. A call on the first clue scores 6, dropping to 2 by the fifth.
- First correct wins. Names match loosely — the full name or a distinctive part counts (“tom brady” and “brady” both win; bare “tom” doesn’t).

Gifts
Who Am I’s gift drops the next clue — it helps the whole room close in, and (like the host advancing the staircase) it lowers the bounty for the next winner. It’s off unless the host sets it.
- Sending the configured gift advances the clue staircase by one step for everyone.
- It’s cooperative: it never names the persona, it just reveals the next clue sooner — the round is still won by the first correct guess.
Scoring
- Points are awarded by the clue step at the solve: 6 → 2 from the first clue to the fifth.
- The highest total across the rounds wins; ties are shipped as co-winners.
- Points feed the per-streamer tally behind avatar ring tiers. Wins are tracked per streamer.
