Quartets is in beta — details may change.
A connections-style sorting race. Each round shows sixteen numbered tiles, and four hidden groups of four share a category — sometimes literal (“dipping sauces”), sometimes wordplay. Chat claims a group by typing its four tile numbers; the first to lock all four members wins that group. Trickier groups are worth more, and a wrong guess costs a strike.

​
Gameplay

1

Read the board

Sixteen numbered tiles. Four of them share a hidden category — find the sets.
2

Claim a group

Type the four tile numbers to lock a group, e.g. !q 1 5 9 13. First to name all four members claims it.
3

Mind your strikes

A wrong guess costs one of three strikes for the round. Out of strikes and you’re locked out until the next round.

​
How scoring works

Groups are weighted by difficulty using the connections color order — the literal group scores least, the wordplay group most.

  • Four groups, four colors. Yellow scores 1, green 2, blue 3, and purple — the wordplay group — 4.
  • Claim with four numbers. Type the four tile numbers in any order; only the exact set of a group’s four members locks it.
  • Three strikes. A wrong set costs a strike; three and you sit out the rest of the round. Guessing three of a group’s four members surfaces a “one away” callout on the stage.

Gifts

Quartets has no gift mechanic — it’s a straight sorting race, so there’s nothing to send. Gifts still reach the streamer as normal; they just don’t change the game.

​
Scoring

  • Claiming a group banks its color value: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 for yellow / green / blue / purple.
  • Points accumulate across the rounds; the highest total wins, and ties are shipped as co-winners.
  • Points feed the per-streamer tally behind avatar ring tiers. Wins are tracked per streamer.
