One puzzle a day, every stream, one leaderboard.
The StreamArena daily puzzle is a daily movie game: once a day, every stream gets the same Movie Barcode, and everyone who solves it lands on one global leaderboard. A stream with five viewers plays the same puzzle as the biggest stream on the board.
At a glance
Name today's film from its color barcode.
Today's film
Same puzzle on every stream todayHow does the daily puzzle work?
Each day has one puzzle: a movie barcode, a whole film squashed into color stripes. Start it whenever you like. Viewers guess from chat in Upstream.so or from their phone anywhere else, and every right answer lands on the same global board.
Why a daily puzzle?
Because small streams deserve a big leaderboard. With one shared puzzle, your five regulars compete with everyone, and "we were 48th today" beats "we won against nobody". Run it at the start of every show and viewers start turning up on time for their shot.
Is it like Wordle for movies?
The rhythm is the same: one puzzle a day, the same for everyone, and you come back tomorrow. The difference is that you play it live, together, on stream, with your chat shouting answers instead of playing alone on a phone.
Play it with chat or phones.
The daily puzzle plays like every StreamArena game.
Your chat plays by typing. YouTube, Twitch, Kick and Rumble chat land on one scoreboard, on Upstream.so's free plan too.
Add the game as a browser source. Viewers scan the code on screen and play from their phone. Free, no app, no account.
Guests join from their phone in every setup, and their answers stay secret until you reveal them.
Scoring. Answers count by the moment they were sent, so a slow chat never decides who was first.

Questions
When does the puzzle change?
Once a day. Every stream running it that day gets the same film.
Can I run it on every show?
Yes. Many hosts open with it, so regulars show up on time to get their shot.
Does my chat need to be big?
No. That is the point: every right answer counts on the same board, whatever the size of the stream it came from.
Is it free?
Yes, like every StreamArena game, in Upstream.so and in OBS.
