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

1

See the flag

A flag fills the stage. No timer pressure from a reveal — it’s pure recognition speed.
2

Type the country

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.
3

First correct wins the round

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.
  • 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 don’t 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

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).

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.
Letter tiles filling in as gifts are sent, stopping at a cap
  • 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.
