Proxi
A contextual word-finding game where Twitch chat works together to discover a hidden word.
What it doesv1.3
Proxi is a collaborative Twitch chat game built around contextual word similarity. A secret word is hidden and each viewer guess receives a rank based on how closely it appears in similar language contexts. Chat has to reason together, follow warmer guesses, and find the rank-one answer.
Viewers simply type a word—there is no sign-up or join command. The game can run continuously on its own or as a hosted segment, with timed and infinite rounds, hints, multiple screen layouts, transparent compositing, and a persistent Hall of Fame for regular players.
How it works
- 01A secret word is chosen
Start a round with your own word or let Proxi choose one for you.
- 02Viewers guess in chat
Anyone can type a single-word guess with no join command or special prefix.
- 03Every guess gets warmer or colder
Proxi ranks each word by contextual closeness and updates the color-coded leaderboard live on screen.
- 04The round celebrates a winner
The result screen, player cards, and optional Hall of Fame give regulars a reason to return for the next word.
