How Voting Works in Group Games

How a turn is decided by vote, the voting settings, and how many votes count on each plan.

Last updated About 1 hour ago

In a group game nobody plays the hero alone. Each turn ends with a few choices, everyone votes, and the winning choice is what the hero does next.

One turn, step by step

A new event is posted with its choices.
Players vote: on the website by choosing an option on the game page, on Discord with the numbered buttons. Each person has one vote per turn.
Voting closes when the Maximum Voting Time runs out or the Maximum Vote Count is reached, whichever comes first.
The choice with the most votes plays out, and the next event follows.

If the timer runs out before anyone has voted, the story waits until at least one vote comes in.

The game’s creator chooses these when launching the game and can change them later (on the website: ⋮ on the game card → Voting Settings).

Setting	What it does
Maximum Voting Time	How long each vote stays open: 1 minute to 24 hours, 15 minutes by default.
Maximum Vote Count	Closes voting as soon as this many votes are in.
Posting Mode	Auto-Post shares each event straight away; Manual Review lets the creator check each event before it’s posted.
Event Text Length	Short (TLDR) or Full Narrative.

Each turn counts the first votes received, up to a limit set by the creator’s plan:

Voting itself is free for players. The game’s creator pays for the turns: see Community Vote Games.

The creator can pause a game at any time and resume it later: ⋮ → Pause on the website, or /games → ⏸️ Pause Game on Discord.
