Elimination Game

Viewers who send the trigger gift get a tile with their photo and name on screen. Every few seconds one tile is knocked out, until a single person is left. That person wins.

What is Elimination Game​

A survival game that runs by itself once it starts. Viewers can improve their odds by sending more gifts, because each gift adds one tile, and the more tiles someone has, the longer they last.

Before you start​

Your TikTok Live has to be connected.

Setup steps​

1. Pick the trigger gift​

In the Settings card, choose a Trigger gift. Without it, no tile can appear at all.

One gift = one tile

A 5× combo produces 5 tiles. The more tiles someone has, the longer they stay in the game, but the winner is the last person standing, not the last tile.

2. Set the rules​

SettingWhat it does
Delay between eliminations (seconds)How often a tile is knocked out
ModeWhether new people can join after the game has started
Title above the gridOptional. Leave it empty to use the default title ELIMINATION MODE

The two join modes:

ModeBehavior
Lock inThe grid size never changes during the game
Allow joiningNew tiles can still come in, including from people whose tiles are all gone
Lock in for a fair game, Allow joining for a busy live

Lock in gives every participant the same starting point, which is fairer when there's a prize. Allow joining lets newly arrived viewers take part, so the live doesn't lose momentum. People who were already knocked out can come back by sending another gift.

3. Run it​

Start EliminationStarts the elimination countdown
Eliminate NowForces a round early and shifts the next one
StopStops the game
Show / HideControls whether the overlay appears in OBS
ResetReturns to an empty state
You need at least 2 people

The game stops when one person is left, so with only one participant the winner is decided before the first round, no matter how many tiles they have.

Someone with 20 tiles who is the only participant still wins immediately.

Install the overlay​

Open the Elimination Game menu in the dashboard, find the Install Overlay in OBS / TikTok Live Studio card, and copy the overlay link. Paste it as a Browser Source in OBS, or add it through Add Source → Link in TikTok Live Studio, at 1920 × 1080.

Use the Customize button on the same card to change how this overlay looks.

Never installed an overlay before? Read Installing Overlays in OBS & TikTok Live Studio first. It walks through each step.

One URL for every setting

The dashboard says: "One URL for every setting. Changing the scale or the rules never changes it."

You only need to add the Browser Source once. After that you can change settings freely without copying the link again.

Unlike Spin Roulette, whose panel appears and disappears on its own, the Elimination Game overlay stays on screen in OBS at all times, including after a winner. The winner card stays until you press Reset, Revive All, or Open Entries.

Display settings​

The Customize button has a Scale (%) setting from 50 to 150, which shrinks or enlarges the whole grid inside the OBS frame.

Common problems​

Symptom: no tiles appear. No Trigger gift has been selected. This is the most common cause, and the dashboard shows its own warning for it.

Symptom: new tiles don't come in even though someone sent a gift. Participants were locked in at the first elimination. New tiles won't come in until the game is reset or the join mode is changed to Allow joining.

Symptom: the game ends as soon as it starts. There is only one participant. See the minimum of 2 people warning above.

Symptom: the winner card won't go away. That's intentional. Press Reset or Open Entries for a new round.
