# Quartets
> Sort 16 words into four hidden groups of four
**Category:** Puzzle · **Players:** free-for-all · **Status:** Beta
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
Sixteen numbered tiles. Four of them share a hidden category — find the
sets.
Type the four tile numbers to lock a group, e.g. `!q 1 5 9 13`. First to
name all four members claims it.
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.
## Configuration
| Option | Values | Default |
| ----------- | ------------------------------- | ------------ |
| **Rounds** | number of puzzles | Set per game |
| **Strikes** | wrong guesses allowed per round | 3 |
**Rounds.** How many 16-tile puzzles make up the game. Scores accumulate across
all of them.
**Strikes.** Each chatter gets three wrong guesses per round before being locked
out until the next one.
## Layout
1. **Marquee** — game title and how-to hint.
2. **Round strip** — round number and progress.
3. **Board** — the sixteen numbered tiles; claimed groups light up in their
color.
4. **Strikes + attempts** — strikes left and the latest "one away" / claim
callout.
5. **Leaderboard** — players ranked by total points.
The game moves through **Lobby → Round → Revealed → Finished**.
## 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](/games/leaderboards). Wins are tracked per streamer.
