Top 5s works perfectly in a Discord voice channel. Everyone plays in their own browser, no bot install needed. Drop the link in your text channel and go.
Why Discord Communities Love It
Discord servers are built around shared interests — gaming communities, friend groups, study servers, whatever brings people together. But when everyone's already in a voice channel, the question of "okay but what do we actually do" comes up constantly.
Top 5s is the answer to that question. It's not a game within Discord (no Activity, no bot) — it's a browser game you play while staying in Discord. One person drops the room link in the text channel, everyone opens it in a browser tab, and the whole voice channel is suddenly playing a guessing game about each other.
The game especially shines in communities where people know each other. When someone's Top 5 list reveals they think the best video game of all time is something completely unexpected, the voice channel erupts. That kind of moment is what Discord communities are for.
Setup Guide
Start in Discord as normal. Get your group into a voice channel together — Top 5s works alongside Discord, not inside it, so you keep all your normal Discord features.
One person (the host) opens topfives.io in their browser and creates a room. Takes about 10 seconds. Copy the room code.
Drop the room code (or the full URL if you have it) in the text channel that sits below your voice channel. Everyone in voice sees it instantly and opens it in their browser.
Everyone's in the game on their browser, still connected in voice. When someone's list gets revealed, you hear the gasps and arguments live. That's the whole experience.
