Guess the Word Live - Word Guessing Game for TikTok Live | Python Script

A word game for your chat on TikTok LIVE

Guess the Word Live puts a hidden word on your stream. Letters open one by one, and the first viewer to type the word in chat wins points. Likes open letters for everyone, gifts give hints, extra time or points, and every gift gets a thank-you on screen, from a small notification up to a full-screen spotlight with fireworks.

It runs on your own computer. A Python server connects to your LIVE and runs the game, and the game screen is a web page you add to OBS (or any app with a Browser Source) at 1080×1920.

How viewers play

• Type the word in chat to answer. Capitals, spaces, punctuation and emoji are ignored, so “ice cream”, “IceCream!” and “ice-cream” all count.
• Blank tiles show what each letter is still worth, so the prize drops as letters open and faster answers score more.
• Win streaks earn bonus points, and the best players are shown in a row at the top of the screen.
• Every 300 likes (adjustable) opens a letter for everyone.
• Wrong guesses with the right number of letters appear in a “close guesses” list.

Gifts

• Each of the 401 gifts in the list can reveal letters, add time, give the sender bonus points or skip the word. Combos multiply the amount.
• The thank-you matches the gift: a notification for small gifts, a banner with fireworks from 10 coins, and a full-screen spotlight with the sender’s photo from 500 coins. Both limits are adjustable.
• Big thank-yous wait their turn, so every gifter gets their own moment.

Admin Panel

• See the answer during a round, and pause, skip, reveal a letter or add 15 seconds.
• Queue your own words for themed rounds or sponsor words.
• Test everything without going live: send guesses, likes and any gift as a test viewer.
• Word bank editor with 1,708 English words in 25 categories included, from animals and countries to space, music and famous cities. Add your own categories and words.
• Gift editor, game settings and seven sound effects that you can replace with your own files.
• Works on a phone on the same Wi-Fi, so you can run the game away from your desk.

Made for streaming

• The game runs on the server, so OBS, preview windows and page refreshes always show the same round.
• When chat goes quiet, the game waits on a “type anything to start” screen with a demo word instead of using up words.
• The top and bottom of the screen stay mostly clear for TikTok’s own header, chat and gift bar.
• The server window shows the links you need and a new Admin Panel password every time it starts, then lists every round and gift as it happens.

Requirements

• Windows 10 or 11 (tested on Windows 11). A start script for macOS and Linux is included.
• Python 3.9 or newer
• OBS Studio, Streamlabs Desktop or another app with a Browser Source
• A TikTok account that can go LIVE. The game never asks for your TikTok password.

What you get

• Full Python, HTML, CSS and JavaScript source code
• Documentation for installing, OBS, connecting to TikTok and every Admin Panel setting
• One-click launcher for Windows (START_GAME.bat)
