A community night, start to finish

How it works

Start a community night.

You create an event on BluMint and go live. BluBot, BluMint's chatbot, pins the event link in chat. Chatters type !join to queue up for the event.

Chatters fill teams.

When you're ready, click play. BluMint randomly forms teams from the queue, automatically balancing them by rank.

BluMint brings everyone together.

Each selected chatter gets a push or SMS notification. One tap puts them into voice chat with their teammates. Nobody has to send an invite or set up a call.

Team voice

You play.

Once teams are ready, BluMint creates the match and sends everyone the lobby code. You play with and against chatters. Use overlays to show the teams and the score on stream.

Deadlock

Winners are crowned.

Chatters on the winning team are crowned on stream, and if there is a prize pool, BluMint immediately pays them. Then the next match starts from the queue. Keep going as long as you want.

Many ways to run it

Change who is on the teams from one community night to the next. The queue, the teams and the voice chat work the same way every time.

  • You and chat

    You are the only streamer. Chat fills the rest of your team and the whole team you play against.

  • Your chat vs their chat

    You and another streamer each lead a team. Your chat fills your team, and their chat fills theirs.

  • You and other streamers

    Bring all your streamer friends onto your team. Chat fills the open spots and the whole team you play against.

  • One on one

    For games without teams, chat queues up to play you one at a time.

  • You cast, chat plays chat

    You stay out of the match and call it on stream. Every match is a fresh pair of teams from your queue.

  • Single elimination

    A bracket for a bigger night. Lose once and you're out.

  • Double elimination

    Two lives. A loss drops you to the losers bracket, and a second loss ends your run.

It's your chat, meet them

People in your chat talk every stream but mostly know one another as usernames. On a community night, teammates share a voice channel in BluMint, play a match together, and can get to know one another. You can talk with both teams for a few minutes before the match starts.

Make it a weekly

Hold a community night every week, and it becomes a staple of your channel. Make them subscriber-only events or keep them open to all.

Add a prize pool to amp things up

To generate more buzz, add a prize pool. Fund it yourself, let chat crowdfund it with !fund, or use entry fees to grow it further. Chatters who are not selected get their entry fee back. BluMint immediately pays the winners, your own teammates included.

Prize pools are optional. You can run events without them too and focus on bringing people together.

Outside the US, a chatter can play and can win, and cannot pay an entry fee or crowdfund yet. With a prize pool, US winners are paid immediately, and winners elsewhere are paid by hand where local law allows.

FAQs

What do I need to set up before my first community night?

Connect BluBot to your channel and create your event. Click Host now to get started and follow the guided setup. The first time takes a few minutes. To show the teams and the score on stream, add the BluMint overlay to OBS. You can customize the overlays as you like on the Stream settings page.

How does chat join? Do they need the app?

Chatters type !join, and BluBot sends them a link to join. The first time, they create a free BluMint account, which takes about a minute. The app is optional. They can use a browser, or the BluMint app on iPhone and Android.

How much time should I set aside?

Enough for a few matches, and you can keep going as long as you want. A Deadlock match runs from about 20 minutes to an hour, so leave yourself some room if you're planning several.

What happens if someone gets picked but doesn't show up?

BluMint checks who hasn't responded and brings in the next chatter from the queue. You don't have to chase anyone down or find a replacement yourself.

Can people watching my stream get the lobby code?

Only the players in the match get it. BluMint sends the lobby code straight to each selected player's phone, so you don't need to share it on stream.

What control do I have over voice chat?

You and your mods can mute or remove any player. If you remove someone, BluMint fills their spot from the queue so you can keep playing. Players must be 18 and over.

What if chat doesn't fill both teams?

Start with smaller teams, or play one on one. The queue stays open all night, so more players can join as you go.

Can I use BluMint if I stream on YouTube?

Yes. BluBot works in Twitch chat and YouTube chat, so chatters can type !join in either one.

Can I make an event just for my subscribers?

You can. Make an event subscriber-only, or open it to everyone. With a prize pool, BluMint still randomly selects who plays, and nobody can pay extra for a better chance of being picked.

Does it cost me anything to host?

No. BluMint doesn't charge you to host a community night, and you don't need a prize pool. Set up an event, and start it whenever enough players are in the queue.

Can the chatters on my team win prizes too?

Yes. If your event has a prize pool, BluMint immediately pays the chatters on the winning team, including the ones playing alongside you. Your own spot as the host isn't paid.

What's random: who gets picked or who wins?

Only who gets picked is randomized. The match decides who wins. An event is free to join or has the same entry fee for everyone. If there's an entry fee and a chatter is in queue but never gets picked, they will be refunded the fee.

Where can I run a community night?

Free events run everywhere. Events with only a prize or only an entry fee run in more places worldwide. Events with both an entry fee and a prize pool run in 42 US states.

Can chatters outside the US join?

Outside the US, a chatter can play and can win, and cannot pay an entry fee or crowdfund yet. With a prize pool, US winners are paid immediately, and winners elsewhere are paid by hand where local law allows.
