Setting up the group

This section is for the admins and owner of the group Nani Pix plays in. Every admin command is sent to her in a private message, and she checks with Telegram that you really are an admin of the group each time.

The group and its game topic

Section titled “The group and its game topic”
  1. The group must be a supergroup with Topics turned on (Group settings → Topics). Nani Pix plays in one specific topic, not in the main chat.
  2. Add the bot to the group and make it an admin with the “Pin messages” permission. Nani Pix keeps the current round’s picture pinned in the topic. Without that permission everything still works, just without the pin.
  3. Pick the topic the game is played in. Whoever hosts Nani Pix configures which topic that is.

Players need to be members of the group for most of what Nani Pix does for them. Someone who isn’t a member can’t:

  • start a round (by sending a screenshot or with /newgame),
  • open the clue shop or buy clues, including from the 🛒 button under a stage,
  • see /achievements, /history, /title, or /leaderboard and /standings in a private message,
  • follow a link that opens achievements or standings in a private chat with Nani Pix.

/leaderboard and /standings sent in the game topic itself work for anyone who can read it. Players should also send Nani Pix /start once, so she can message them privately (for clues, reminders and the shop).

Language

Section titled “Language”

Nani Pix speaks English or Russian, the same language for the whole group: the game topic, private messages and her command menu. To switch, send /language to her and tap a language. The two buttons are always labelled in their own language.

The prompt is in Nani Pix’s current language, and after the tap it turns into the confirmation, in the new one. Only a group admin or the owner can change the language; anyone else gets “Only a group admin can change my language.” The other admin commands answer non-admins with “Admins only.”
