A Discord Activity for friends already in voice
A Discord Activity is a shared app that opens inside Discord so the people already talking can play together. Squimbo uses that: same voice channel, same room, no separate game install.
What a Discord Activity is
Instead of leaving Discord for a browser lobby, the group launches an Activity together. Everyone sees the same session in the channel where you started. This page is for players, not a developer setup guide.
How Squimbo uses it
Open Squimbo in voice. Discord’s Activity instance is the room. Display names and avatars come with you. There is no separate install for the game itself.
- Runs inside Discord
- Same channel = same room
- Desktop and mobile Discord clients
Party night without leaving voice
You keep talking while you vote. Sealed “most likely” rounds, then scores at the finale. The marketing site is only the front door. The night happens in the Activity. To launch Squimbo step by step, see Open a Discord Activity.
Activity vs bot vs browser lobby
A slash-command bot plays in chat. A browser party link is a separate site you share while on a call. Squimbo is the middle path that is still fully in Discord: an Activity UI on the voice channel. See Activity, not a bot for the short definitions.
