MECCHA CHAMELEON proximity voice chat and room voice rules
Voice can make a hide-and-seek room fun, chaotic, or unfair. Decide the rule before the first round, especially in viewer rooms.

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.
Voice rule templates
| Room type | Suggested rule | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Private friends | Open voice, no screen peeking. | Keeps the room social. |
| Public room | Minimal voice during active search. | Reduces confusion and trolling. |
| Streamer room | Host/mod voice priority. | Keeps rounds readable for viewers. |
| Competitive practice | No Hider callouts after hiding. | Preserves search integrity. |
Moderation checklist
- State voice rules in chat before inviting players.
- Mute or remove players who spoil locations.
- Use shorter rounds when voice is chaotic.
- Reset rules when switching maps or viewer groups.

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.
