How should voice chat be handled?

Use voice chat as a room rule, not an afterthought. Decide whether Hiders can talk while hidden, whether Hunters can ask questions, whether stream delay matters, and whether viewers must stay muted. Clear voice rules protect both fairness and comedy.

FAQ

Quick answers

Should Hiders talk while hidden?

For casual rooms it can be funny; for fair rounds it often gives away timing or creates unfair hints. Decide before the round starts.

Is voice chat required?

No. Many rooms can use text, Discord, platform voice, or no voice at all. The important part is that everyone understands the rule.
