# Who Am I

> Name the celebrity as clues stack one at a time

<Info>**Category:** Trivia · **Players:** free-for-all · **Status:** Beta</Info>

<Note>Who Am I is in beta — details may change.</Note>

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

<Steps>
  <Step title="Read the clue">
    A vague opening clue appears. If you already know who it is, type their name
    — no command.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Watch the clues stack">
    Each new clue narrows it down — but the bounty drops with every clue that
    drops.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name them first">
    The first correct guess wins the round and banks its points.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 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).

## Configuration

| Option                      | Values                          | Default       |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------- | ------------- |
| **Clue timer**              | 3–60s                           | 10s           |
| **Unblur image with clues** | on / off                        | Off           |
| **Clue gift**               | a gift that drops the next clue | Off until set |

**Clue timer.** How long each clue shows before the next is suggested.

**Unblur image with clues.** When on, a photo of the persona sharpens as clues
drop, adding a visual track alongside the text.

**Clue gift.** An optional gift that advances the staircase (see
[Gifts](#gifts)).

1. **Marquee** — game title and how-to hint.
2. **Round + gift strip** — round number, and the clue gift when configured.
3. **Clue stack** — the clues revealed so far, newest on top.
4. **Guess pill** — the live count of guesses this round.
5. **Leaderboard** — players ranked by total points.

The game moves through **Lobby → Round → Revealed → Finished**.

## 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](/games/leaderboards). Wins are tracked per streamer.
