Your voice channel vs. the brakence catalog
Five games you play together, live. Everyone hears the same half second at the same moment, squints at the same close-up, picks at the same time and races the same mystery song.
/listen
listeN party
Half a second. That’s all you get at first. Who names it before everyone else?
- Everyone hears the same clip at the same moment, then 1 second, 2, 4, 8 and 15.
- 600 points on the first clip, down to 100 on the last. Fastest gets 50 extra.
- 3 guesses a song. Pick an album or everything, 5 to 15 songs.
/higher
higheR showdown
Two songs, seven seconds. Which one has more Spotify plays? Wrong and you’re out.
- Everyone picks at the same time. Last one standing wins.
- It starts easy and gets brutal. After round 12 the pairs are really close.
- If everyone still in misses, nobody’s out. Or play it on song length.
/rank
ranK the server
The tier list argument you were going to have anyway, but now it counts.
- Each song plays and everyone votes S to D. Votes stay hidden until the reveal.
- The room’s average decides where it lands. Then the next one comes up.
- At the end you get the server’s tier list to save or post.
/brakdle
brakdlE race
Same mystery song for everyone. You can watch their grids turn gold.
- Guess like brakdlE: gold is right, red is close, arrows point to the answer.
- You see the colours of everyone else’s guesses, never the songs.
- Fewer guesses, more points. First to get it gets 50 extra.
/cover
coveR party
A tiny piece of a cover, way zoomed in. It zooms out every four seconds. Name it before your friends do.
- Everyone sees the same close-up at the same moment.
- The closer in you get it, the more points. First right gets 50 extra.
- Just his own releases, or throw in the features too if you want pain.
Add it yourself
One button. Discord asks where it should go.
Your account
Play in DMs and group chats with your friends. No server needed, nobody has to approve anything.
A server you run
Everyone in the server gets /play and the game commands. Members need the Use Activities and Use Application Commands permissions, which most servers allow by default.
It only adds its commands and the activity. No bot joins, and it can’t read your messages.
How to start

Authorize once
Discord asks the first time. It only gets your name, nothing else.
