Discord mini-games bot: counting, word chain, trivia and guess the number

A trivia game started with /trivia start

What you get

Counting channel

Members count 1, 2, 3 in turn. Math like 6*7 can count as 42, nobody may count twice in a row, and a wrong number resets the count and names who ruined it.

Word chain

Each word starts with the last letter of the previous one, in English, Russian or Hebrew per channel. Set a shortest word, take turns, block repeats or allow only common words.

Trivia with buttons

/trivia start posts questions with four answer buttons and a timer. Fast correct answers earn a bonus point and the game ends with a scoreboard.

Guess the number

/guess start picks a secret number. Members guess with a button, /guess try or a plain number and get private higher or lower hints.

Coins and XP rewards

Pay Bank coins and Levels XP per correct count, word, answer or win, with daily caps per member across all games.

Leaderboards and stats

/minigames leaderboard ranks players per game and /minigames stats shows score, rank, best streak and saves. The console adds charts and recent games.

How it works

  1. Enable Mini-games

    Open https://console.botgg.app, choose your server and switch on Mini-games. Turn each of the four games on or off on its own tab.

  2. Pick your game channels

    Add a counting channel and a word-chain channel, choose the rules, and test a message in the console before members do.

  3. Play in Discord

    Members just type in the counting and word-chain channels, or run /trivia start and /guess start. Drops can post a surprise question or number on a schedule.

  4. Reward and review

    Set coins and XP per game, watch plays per day and leaderboards in the console, and reset a board or a member’s data when needed.

Four mini-games that keep a Discord server talking

A Discord counting bot turns a quiet channel into a shared goal: every correct number brings the server closer to a new record, and 💯 and 🏆 reactions mark the milestones. Counting saves protect a long streak: members earn them by counting or buy them with Bank coins, and a fail role can go to whoever ruined the count last. Word chain works the same way with words and understands Russian and Hebrew letter rules.

Trivia uses BotGG’s own question packs in your server language (general knowledge, gaming, science, geography and movies) plus your own questions: up to 50 on Free and 1,000 on Pro. Counting, word chain and typed guesses read message text, so they need Discord’s Message Content access; trivia and the guess buttons work without it.

Mini-games, Games and Economy games: what is the difference?

Mini-games are played right inside your Discord chat. The Games feature is something else: it links members’ accounts for real video games, shows game stats and helps players find teammates. If you want members to earn and spend coins with /work, /fish or casino games, look at Economy games, which runs on the same Bank currency.

Frequently asked questions

How do I set up a counting channel on Discord?

Enable Mini-games in the BotGG console, open the Counting tab and add a channel. Choose whether math is allowed, whether the same member may count twice in a row and whether saves are used. Members then start typing 1, 2, 3.

What happens when someone ruins the count?

The message gets ❌, the bot posts who ruined it and what the next number should have been, and the count starts again at 1. If saves are on and the member has one, a save is used instead and the count continues.

Does the trivia bot work in Russian and Hebrew?

Yes. The built-in questions come in English, Russian and Hebrew and follow your server’s bot language. You can add your own questions in any language in the console.

Can players earn coins or XP from mini-games?

Yes. Set Bank coins and Levels XP for each correct count, accepted word, correct trivia answer and number guessed. Daily caps per member keep payouts in check. Bank or Levels has to be on for that part.

Do mini-games need the Message Content intent?

Counting, word chain and typing a guess as a plain number read messages, so they need it. Trivia buttons and /guess try work without it, and the console tells you when it is missing.

How is this different from the Games feature?

Mini-games are chat games played on your server. Games is about real video games: linked accounts, game stats and looking for a group.
