Voxel Telephone is a multiplayer take on the classic telephone game. Players alternate between building voxel scenes and writing descriptions of what they see. Because each player only sees the previous turn — never the full history — prompts drift and transform across the 16-turn chain. When the chain is complete, you can view the full sequence in the gallery and see how far things strayed from the original prompt.Documentation Index

Starting a game
Use/play from anywhere in the server to join a game. The server assigns you to a random active game and drops you into your turn — either a build turn or a describe turn. You never choose which type you get; the game alternates automatically between building and describing.
If no games are available, the server will tell you. You can use
/create to start a brand-new chain with a prompt of your own.The game flow
A single Voxel Telephone game runs for exactly 16 turns, alternating between building and describing:Someone starts a chain with /create
When the server runs out of active games, or at any time you want to contribute a new chain, use
/create from the hub and type a prompt in chat. Think of something mundane or imaginative — it is entirely up to you. Your prompt becomes the first turn of a new game.You get assigned a build or describe turn
Type
/play to join a game. The server assigns you to an active game that needs a player. You will either be placed in a 64×64×64 voxel building space with a prompt to build, or you will be shown a finished build that you need to describe.Build the prompt (build turn)
If it is your turn to build, you will see the prompt displayed in chat. Build whatever you interpret that prompt to be in your voxel space. Use
/help to see the available building commands.There is no time limit. If you leave mid-build, your game is reserved for up to two hours so you can return and continue. Only your changes count — if you leave without placing any blocks, the game is released back to other players.Describe the build (describe turn)
If it is your turn to describe, you will see another player’s build. Type your description in chat. Describe what you see as you interpret it — not the quality of the build, just what it represents to you.
Submit your turn with /finish
When you are done building or describing, type
/finish to submit your turn and advance the game. You are returned to the hub automatically.- For a build turn, you must have placed at least one block before
/finishis accepted. - For a describe turn, you must have typed a description in chat before
/finishis accepted.
Commands reference
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/play | Join a random active game (build or describe turn) |
/finish | Submit your current turn and return to the hub |
/skip | Skip the current game without submitting; you are returned to the hub |
/create | Start a new game chain by typing a prompt (available when out of games) |
/view | Enter the gallery to browse completed game chains |

/report | Report an inappropriate prompt or build and skip the current game |
Skipping a turn
If you do not want to complete a turn, use/skip. You will be returned to the hub and the game is released for another player to pick up. Skipping does not penalise you — use it freely if a prompt or build is not something you want to engage with.
When there are no games available
If there are no active games when you type/play, the server will let you know. You can use /create to start a new chain with a prompt of your own. If you have already created one recently, the server will ask you to come back in an hour before creating another.
