Hangman
Hangman is a guessing game for TikTok lives: chat guesses a hidden word, gifts reveal letters or strike out wrong ones. There is no bet and no loyalty points, the prize is a spot on the Hangman leaderboard. The page appears under Bot Minigames → Hangman as soon as your panel is connected to TikTok.
Chat commands
| Command | Who | Effect |
|---|---|---|
!hangman |
Moderators and you | Starts a new round with a random word from your word list |
!hangmanreset |
Moderators and you | Resets the leaderboard (same as the button on the page) |
Only one round runs at a time. Writing !hangman while a round is running only returns a note that a round is already active.
How a round works
- You or a moderator starts the round with
!hangman. The bot posts the start text in chat, the overlay shows the word as dashes. - Guessing the word: viewers simply write the whole word as a normal chat message, without an exclamation mark. Upper and lower case do not matter. Whoever writes the word correctly first wins the round and gets an entry on the leaderboard.
- Reveal Gift: every time someone sends this gift, one hidden letter of the word is revealed (in every position it appears).
- Exclude Gift: strikes out a random letter that is not in the word. Note: every strike counts as a wrong guess.
- The round ends when the word is guessed, all letters are revealed or the number of wrong guesses reaches the maximum. If every letter was revealed by gifts, the whole chat wins together, without a leaderboard entry.
Settings
| Setting | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Enabled | on | Turns Hangman on or off. When off, the bot ignores !hangman |
| Word List | STREAMER, TIKTOK, ÜBERRASCHUNG |
One word per line, one is picked at random per round |
| Reveal Gift | Rose |
Name of the TikTok gift that reveals a letter |
| Exclude Gift | GG |
Name of the TikTok gift that strikes out a wrong letter |
| Max Wrong Guesses | 6 | 1 to 26, once reached the round is lost |
Gift names are compared without regard to upper and lower case, but must match the gift name on TikTok exactly. All other gifts do not affect the game.
About the word list: words are converted to upper case. Ä, Ö and Ü are letters of their own and are revealed like all others, ß becomes SS. Spaces and punctuation stay visible, so phrases with several words work too.
Chat texts
| Text | When | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Start Text | When a round starts | Hangman gestartet! Rate das ganze Wort im Chat oder sende ein Gift, um einen Buchstaben aufzudecken/auszuschließen! |
| Win Text | Word guessed or fully revealed | {winner} hat das Wort {word} erraten! |
| Lose Text | Maximum wrong guesses reached | Leider verloren! Das Wort war {word}. |
Placeholders: {winner} (name of the winner, "Das Team" when the word was fully revealed), {word} (the hidden word). The question mark next to the heading also lists the placeholders directly on the page.
Leaderboard
Below the form you see the ten viewers with the most rounds won. Reset Leaderboard at the top of the page (or !hangmanreset in chat) starts a new season: the list starts from zero again, older wins stay stored but are no longer shown. Reset next to it only restores the default settings, the leaderboard stays unchanged.
Overlay display
With the Hangman overlay widget (see Overlay widgets: minigames) your stream shows the word with dashes and revealed letters, the struck out letters and the wrong guesses. At the end of a round it shows the full word and the winner.
FAQ
Does Hangman cost loyalty points? No, Hangman runs completely without bets.
Does a single letter in chat count as a guess? No, only the complete word. Single letters are only revealed through gifts.
Why does !hangman not work on my Twitch channel?
Hangman is tied to TikTok gifts and is therefore only available with TikTok connected.
