Free Crack the Code Chat Game for Live Streams

Crack the Code gives the whole chat one number puzzle to solve together. A secret code appears as hidden digits, and viewers submit guesses directly in chat before the timer runs out.

A number game built for chat

Each guess gives the community more information. The overlay marks digits that are in the correct spot, digits that belong elsewhere in the code, and digits that do not match. Correctly placed digits lock into the display along with the name of the viewer who found them, making every useful guess part of the win.

Rounds start with a three-digit code and become increasingly difficult. Later rounds add more digits, while the live timer keeps the pace moving. A recent guesses list and top-cracker tally make it easy for viewers to follow the game without leaving chat.

The clue system also keeps a missed guess useful. A viewer might identify a correct digit without finding its position, then another viewer can use that result to narrow the possibilities. That shared progress makes the game easy to join midway through a round and gives the audience a reason to compare ideas as the countdown runs.

Adding it to your setup

Add Crack the Code to a Meld Studio scene and connect the chat platforms where you stream. Viewers can join by typing a number of the requested length, with no special command or separate account required.

For an OBS production, use Spark Plug for OBS to place the same interactive game in your existing scene. It works well on BRB screens, between matches, or any time chat needs a quick shared challenge.

How it works

1. 1 Viewers type a number in chat to submit a guess
2. 2 Clues reveal correct digits, misplaced digits, and misses
3. 3 Each new round increases the code length and difficulty

Use cases

• Giving chat a shared puzzle

  Crack the Code turns number guessing into a community challenge. Every guess reveals useful clues, so viewers can build on one another's ideas before the round timer reaches zero.

• Filling breaks between stream segments

  Run a quick round between matches, during queues, or while setting up the next segment. New rounds become more difficult, giving regular viewers a reason to keep playing.
