Koko - Buzzword

One hidden word.
A whole chat on the case.

Buzzword turns Twitch chat into a cooperative word game. Viewers guess together, reveal letters and build a shared score — while the streamer keeps the show moving.

Buzzword — a community solves the hidden word together
01 The challenge

Give every viewer a way in.

A livestream community can do more than watch. We wanted to give creators a free game that makes joining in simple, whether it takes centre stage or runs alongside the content they already make.

02 The idea

Chat is the controller.

The community works together to uncover a hidden five, six or seven-letter word. Every valid guess reveals information and contributes to the shared score. Find the Buzzword before the rounds run out — or lose the points accumulated in that game.

  1. 1The streamer brings Buzzword into their broadcast.
  2. 2Viewers enter their guesses directly in Twitch chat.
  3. 3The community uses the clues to solve the word and keep its score.

03 The experience

Built around the way you stream.

Full-screen, webcam, avatar, no-camera and lower-third layouts give creators room to make the game their own. It can lead a community segment or sit alongside gameplay and Just Chatting, with an indefinite mode for longer sessions. Koko introduced Buzzword gradually, using live sessions and creator feedback to guide its development.
