Games for Kick streamers

Kick chat games for your stream.

StreamArena Kick chat games give your Kick viewers something to do between segments: they type answers in Kick chat, and the scoreboard shows their names with a green Kick badge. Kick chat plays through Upstream.so. In OBS, Kick viewers play from their phone.

How does Kick chat get into the game?

Through Upstream.so. When you stream to Kick with Upstream.so, its multistream chat already reads your Kick chat, and every StreamArena game is a scene with that chat plugged in. Kick viewers type their answer like any other message, and it lands on the same scoreboard as everyone else's.

Can Kick play against YouTube and Twitch?

Yes. Platform Wars makes each platform its own team when you multistream, so your Kick chat can finally settle things with your Twitch chat. A smaller chat that shows up loud can win a race, so don't count Kick out.

What about Kick in OBS?

Add the game as a browser source, and Kick viewers scan the code on screen to play on their phone. OBS has no Kick chat reading today, but phone play doesn't care where someone watches, so Kick and YouTube viewers still share a round.
