# Games

The 16 chat games, what each one asks and how often it comes out.

rnChatGames has 16 games. They all start the same way (an announcement in the chat, a title and a boss bar) and the fastest correct answer wins. Each one can be turned off or tuned on its own in `config.yml` → `games`, or in game with `/rncg editor` → Games.

## Recommendations

* **Mix easy and hard games.** Quick games (Reaction, Click, Unscramble) keep the chat lively; slower ones (Variable, Guess The Number) reward players who think.
* **Turn off what does not fit your server.** For example, disable Trivia if your players do not like general knowledge questions, or edit the questions in `content/<language>.yml`.
* **Use your own words.** Server name, ranks, game modes or custom items make the games feel part of your server ([Words and questions](/rnsetups/rnchatgames/configuration/content.md)).
* **Add more winners on big servers.** `winners: 3` lets 1st, 2nd and 3rd win, with a podium at the end.
* **Bedrock players can play every game.** Click, Hover and Multiple Choice open a window for them ([Bedrock players](/rnsetups/rnchatgames/reference/bedrock.md)).
