Lights Out! Runner-up Twitch Hackathon 2024

Powered by StreamAlertsTV, Lights Out became a runner-up in the Twitch Hackathon.

Lights Out! is a gamified surprise! One moment, everything on-screen is visible. The next, it feels like the lights have gone out. The screen dims entirely to black, leaving only a small area illuminated by your mouse.

Why? Viewers must have flipped the switch! Use your mouse to find the light switch quickly before it’s too late.

Powered by StreamAlertsTV

StreamAlertsTV is a customizable alert system designed for Twitch creators. It transforms standard notifications—like new followers, subscribers, or cheers—into dynamic experiences using quirky objects, epic VFX, and flashy animations. Adding gamification is only an extension of the experience. Now we have this service that allows the team to produce similar gamification at a rapid pace.

The thrill of the game

Imagine this: a single community member flips the virtual switch and changes everything. Suddenly, you’re scrambling to stay safe in your game. The unpredictable timing of these moments keeps creators and viewers on edge, turning ordinary gameplay into an adrenaline-filled adventure.

Clip that!

Lights Out! makes for incredible clips! When the lights go out, creators give an authentic surprised reaction, that's worth a clip! Combined with the new Twitch Clip Manager, you can seamlessly capture these interactions and turn them into vertical shorts that supercharge your channel’s discoverability. A two-hour stream can easily give you 4 worthy clips on average! We advise you to make a shortcut or ask your chat to “Clip That”, to make it even easier.

Fully customizable

As a creator, you control the chaos. Adjust Lights Out! settings to suit your style, including the cost in channel points, cooldown durations, and how often viewers can trigger the feature. It’s a fun, gamified experience for your community while ensuring it stays manageable for you. You can even monetize the interaction just like with other popular Twitch extensions.

Monetize your streams

Lights Out! integrates seamlessly with Twitch Extensions to make viewer interactions essential to your stream. Your community’s actions directly impact, creating more memorable experiences—and new monetization opportunities.

Best of all? StreamAlertsTV isn’t tied to specific games. Use it with any title and watch the magic unfold. We recommend using Window or Borderless for your display settings.

Add the extension Screen Alerts to your Twitch channel. New interactions arriving soon!
