What is Shushgame?
The Quiet Game. A Discord server that is itself the game: every day, one word becomes forbidden. Say it — or anything containing it — and you die. Silence is golden.
Lives at shushgame.com. Free to play. The dying is always free.
The loop
Section titled “The loop”- You talk in #shushchat. Every word is counted.
- At midnight UTC, the machine studies yesterday’s ten most-used words and bans one at random. The decree lands in #daily-decree; the full list of banned words lives in #kill-list.
- The banned list only grows. Every day of the round is deadlier than the last.
- Type a banned word — even buried inside another word — and you die. Silently. Immediately.
The round calendar
Section titled “The round calendar”A round is one calendar month (all times UTC):
| Days | Phase |
|---|---|
| 1–3 | Grace period — words are counted, nobody dies |
| 4–14 | The Quiet Game proper — daily decrees, daily deaths |
| 15–21 | 🧟 Zombie Apocalypse — the dead rise (details) |
| 22–end | Endgame — the apocalypse closes; the living play out the month under a long, fat kill-list |
At round’s end: awards, every mute lifted, the kill-list resets, and it all begins again.
The website
Section titled “The website”shushgame.com shows the live decree board, the kill list, the countdown to the next decree — and turns zombie-green automatically while an Apocalypse is active.
