Free Stage

"Free Stage" lets several hosts take turns performing, and every diamond received while someone is on stage counts as that host's score. The screen shows just one slim timer bar laid over the host: avatar on the left, countdown in the middle, and a progress bar underneath with the current diamonds and the goal. The moment the countdown ends, the turn is judged cleared or not cleared; the host presses "Next" to bring up the next performer (who starts in "Getting ready"), then presses "Start" to begin the countdown. Each performer's result goes into the Hall of Fame, and paired with the Member Board widget it makes a full guild contest.

What viewers see

• Standby: the avatar is the profile picture of the first person in the queue (if that person has none, the group account's picture is used), and no name is shown; the time slot reads "Getting ready". The right side of the progress bar shows the goal, for example "1,000".
• Getting ready (already called up): after "Next" has been pressed but before "Start", the avatar and name switch to the person now on stage, and the time slot reads "Getting ready". Gifts sent during this time don't score.

Before Start, gifts do not add to the performance challenge score. Their diamonds still appear in the full-session revenue report for the performer currently waiting on stage. If you press Next to skip that performer, this waiting-period revenue moves to the new performer.

• Paused: after the host presses "Pause", the time slot reads "Paused", the countdown stops, and gifts sent meanwhile don't score; "Resume" continues from the time that was left.
• Running: the countdown ticks down, the left of the progress bar shows current diamonds, and its length is "current ÷ goal". When a milestone is reached the bar flashes and that tick turns to achieved. What to do at each milestone is for the host to tell viewers.
• Countdown over: reaching the last milestone (which is the goal) shows "Cleared" and the bar turns green; falling short shows "Not cleared". The avatar stays on the person who just came off. The screen holds there until the host presses "Next".
• Single goal: the right side shows only the goal number, for example "5,000", with no ticks.

Set up before you go live

1. Pick the game

   Go to the "Scoring Games" page, and under step 1 pick "Free Stage".

2. Pick how to play

   Choose Milestones or Single goal. Milestones supports up to five ascending diamond targets; the last is the goal. Single goal uses one positive diamond target. Configure the performance duration here, then save to Home.

3. Line up the queue

   In "Stage Queue", set the performing order: type a name and tap "Add", or tap "Import from Host Roster" to bring in everyone on the roster at once. People from the host roster show up on screen with their avatars. Use ↑/↓ to reorder, or "Remove" to drop someone. There's no cap on queue size.

4. Pick the timer bar color

   "Timer bar style" offers four options: Classic, Navy, Rose and Black & Gold. You can also switch it while live.

5. Save to Home

   Tap "Save to Home" — the settings are saved into a config slot and pinned to Home, and you'll run it from there. "Save to Home" only pins this card to Home and does not change what viewers see; to show it to viewers, go to Home and tap this card.

Running it live

How long each performer gets is set on the Scoring Games page (default 5 minutes). Back on Home, click "Start" to bring the first name in the queue on stage; the countdown begins. When it ends, the turn is settled automatically (cleared / not cleared), but it does not switch people by itself: the screen holds on the result. The host presses "Next", and the next performer steps onto the stage and waits in "Getting ready" until the host presses "Start" to begin the countdown. To switch early, press "Next" too: whoever is on stage is settled on the spot and the next performer comes up to get ready. To end this performer early without calling the next one yet, press "End this round" and the screen holds on cleared / not cleared. After the last person in the queue comes down, pressing "Next" does not go back to "Getting ready"; the screen holds on the Hall of Fame. If you need a short break (a connection hiccup, a host not in position), press "Pause": the countdown stops and gifts don't score; "Resume" continues. Scores come only from viewers' gifts; the home page can't manually add or subtract points, and it can't add time on the fly. The queue locks while a performance is running — press "Next" or wait for the countdown to end before editing it. "Reset" clears the whole show (queue, current performer and Hall of Fame, with a confirm tap).

Common questions

Q: Do the names in the queue need to be linked to a TikTok handle? A: No — typed-in names are just display text. People imported from the host roster also carry their avatar, but score is still attributed to "the current performer", not matched against who actually sent the gift.

Q: Where do I write what to do at each milestone? A: You don't. Whether reaching it means singing or dancing is for the host to tell viewers; the timer bar only marks diamond numbers. If you just want one goal number, pick "Single goal".

Q: Why doesn't it switch to the next performer when the countdown ends? A: That's deliberate. The result screen holds so the host decides when to press "Next", which gives the performer time to finish the item they just cleared. Pressing "Next" doesn't start the countdown right away either: the next performer waits on stage, and the countdown begins when the host presses "Start".

Q: Can I add someone to the queue or reorder it mid-performance? A: No. While a performance is running the queue locks. Press "Next" to bring the current one down, or wait for the countdown to end, before editing the queue again.
