THE RACE.
Chat Race is an interactive Kick chat racing game for OBS. Viewers join with !race, use NOS, bump nearby racers, and compete against viewers or bots in fast 12-second races.
FAST RACES. SIMPLE CHAT COMMANDS.
- !N activates one NOS speed boost per race
- !L bumps the racer directly to the left
- !R bumps the racer directly to the right
- Bumps recharge after a 2-second cooldown
- Bots can use NOS and bump racers too
FULL RACE? YOU’RE NEXT IN LINE.
KEEP TYPING !RACE
When every lane is taken, additional viewers can still join and are automatically placed in the waiting queue.
MOVE UP IN ORDER
After the race, queued viewers are promoted into the next race in the same order they joined.
KEEP RACING
Bots fill whatever spots remain, so the streamer never has to manually organize another round.

ADD A BROWSER SOURCE
Both versions run locally in OBS. Chat Race provides the Browser Source address after the streamer completes setup.
LOCAL OBS ADDRESS PROVIDED AFTER SETUPRUN FIRST_TIME_SETUP.BAT
Run the included setup file once. Chat Race downloads portable Python and Node runtimes into its own folder, starts the backend, and walks the streamer into the Cloudflare setup.
WHAT THE STREAMER NEEDS
Windows PC, OBS Studio, internet during first-time setup, a Kick account with a Kick Developer App, and a free Cloudflare account. Python and Node do not need to be installed.
