the loop
Every mode runs the same four beats: a topic locks in, you get 60 seconds of live back-and-forth chat, someone reads the whole exchange and picks a winner, then you go again.
[1] vs_ai
You roast Claude, Claude roasts back — live, in real time, replying to what you just said. When the clock hits 0, Claude reviews the entire chat and calls a winner.
[2] vs_peer
Create a match to get a 6-character code — share it with a friend. Once they join with that code, the 60s clock starts for both of you. Either player can also join an existing code from the mode menu.
[3] random match
Join the queue and get auto-paired with whoever else is looking for a match right now. No code needed.
[4] party mode
3 or more players. Roles are dealt at random: two people battle live, one judges by reading the chat and picking a winner. Everyone else spectates. Between rounds, the whole party votes on who judges next — live vote counts, most votes wins. The round winner stays in for the next battle; a new challenger is pulled in at random.
the rules
Normal trash talk is the whole point — "your mom" jokes, calling something dumb or cringe, swearing, brutal exaggeration, all fair game. Every message is still screened for real-world harm (slurs, explicit sexual content, threats, self-harm, targeted harassment) — that ends the match and warns the account. You also can't copy-paste a message that's already been said in the same chat.
