DigitDash3

DigitDash3 is a live party game for Twitch and Kick streams. Viewers join through chat and take turns controlling one shared game piece on a numbered grid, competing to finish with the highest score.

The board and scoring

Each game uses a 13×13 grid. At the start, every cell has a random value between -12 and +12, and the shared piece begins in the centre. When you move onto a cell, its value is added to or subtracted from your score.

Cells are permanently destroyed after each move: both the cell the piece leaves and the cell it enters disappear. Destroyed cells become dark void craters and cannot be entered again. If destroyed cells leave the piece with no valid adjacent move, it teleports to a random surviving cell; the current player claims and destroys that cell, adding or losing its points.

At random intervals of 100 to 200 seconds, the values of all surviving cells are randomized again. A “Board Shuffled!” alert appears when this happens.

Joining and taking turns

A streamer connects a Twitch or Kick channel through the game's control panel and starts once enough players have joined. Up to 7 players can join, on a first-come, first-served basis, by typing !digit in chat. New players cannot join after the game starts or the lobby fills.

Players take turns in order. On your turn, you have 35 seconds to move the piece one cell up, down, left or right by typing in chat: W or WW for up, S or SS for down, A or AA for left, and D or DD for right. The double-letter commands provide alternatives to avoid chat duplicate-message filters. A 10-second audio warning signals that your turn is nearly over.

If you do not move within 35 seconds, the game makes a random move for you and counts it as a missed turn. After 3 consecutive missed turns, you are removed from the game.

Game end and AFK mode

The game ends when every cell has been destroyed, and the player with the highest score wins. Final scores appear on screen along with the winner announcement.

The host can enable AFK Mode for games that run without active host involvement. The game waits up to 2 minutes for at least 2 players to join, then starts automatically. After each game, a 30-second countdown leads into the next one.

Host controls

The host screen includes controls to connect to Twitch or Kick chat, start a game or begin a new one, adjust music volume, remove individual players, and switch between windowed and fullscreen display. Activate Cell Zoom to magnify the board around the current player's position.
