Corner Club
A neon cube bounces around a YouTube live stream that runs day and night, and the chat plays the game. Four corners are four teams: pick one. Will it hit your corner?
Contains flashing lights.
What it is
Corner Club is a live game on the Corner Club YouTube channel, played by everyone in the chat. When the cube hits your team’s corner, your team scores.
You play by typing commands in the live chat: join a team, push the cube along and spend points on moves. When the cube passes close and misses, the stage flashes “SO CLOSE!”. Every 7 close calls, another cube joins in, up to two extra at a time.
Every launch puts the cube on a random path that’s sure to reach a corner. Corner Club never steers it, though players can reroll it or pull it toward their corner with gravity.
The stream takes a 10-minute break each morning, from 8:00 to 8:10 am Pacific.
How to play
Join a corner by typing one of these in the live chat:
- !grn for Green, top left
- !prp for Purple, top right
- !pnk for Pink, bottom left
- !ylw for Yellow, bottom right
Your first join gives you 150 starter points, enough for a !reroll right away. You can switch teams any time, but switching resets your season points to 0. Type !commands to see the main commands on the stream.
Score. Every corner hit pays each member of the team, even if they’re away. Teams with fewer active players get an underdog bonus of up to ×3.
Heat. The cube heats up as the chat gets busy and keeps its heat until it scores. A hotter cube moves faster, and its next corner pays up to ×3.
Push for free. !push gives the cube a speed boost and fills your team’s push meter. Each person counts once every 30 seconds. When the meter is full, your team’s next push heats every cube, or breaks a block on your corner.
Spend points in the shop:
- !reroll, 150 points. Sends every cube off in a new random direction.
- !double, 200 points. Your corner pays ×2 for 35 seconds.
- !block, 300 points. A rival’s next corner hit scores nothing, for up to 2 minutes. Add a team (!block prp), or type !block alone for the top-scoring rival.
- !unblock, 300 points. Clears a block on your own corner right away.
- !immunity, 600 points. Your corner can’t be blocked for 35 seconds.
- !gravity, 1,000 points. Tilts the field toward your corner for 20 seconds, or until your team scores.
Spending comes out of your season points, the same total that ranks the season MVP. Every item needs you on a team, and some have cooldowns.
Check your points. Type !points and the channel answers in the live chat with your team, season points and rank. Everyone in chat sees the answer, and answers are limited, so not every !points gets one.
Chaos events
The chaos meter at the top of the stream follows the channel’s subscriber count. Each time the count passes a new milestone, a 5-second countdown runs, fireworks go off and one random event hits everyone. A chaos event also fires every 10 minutes of play. If several are due at once, they wait their turn.
- Mystery reroll. For 30 seconds, the cubes change direction at random moments.
- Heat surge. Every cube jumps to max heat. A cube already there goes white hot instead: top speed until it scores, and its corner pays ×6.
- Speed storm. The cubes move 3× faster for 30 seconds.
- Slow-mo. Every cube except a white-hot one slows to 1/5 speed for 30 seconds.
- Color storm. Rainbow trails, a rainbow border and breathing corners fill the stage for 30 seconds.
- Four swords. Three more cubes burst out. Each one scores like the main cube and leaves when it does, until one is left.
- Flash freeze. Every cube stops for 5 seconds and cools down, then launches again.
- Bounce bonus. For 30 seconds, each wall bounce gives 10 points to the team whose corner is closest, or 20 with double points. A blocked corner’s team gets nothing.
- Make it rain. Every player on a team gets 500 game points at once.
- Phase in, phase out. For 30 seconds, the cubes teleport to random spots at random moments.
Seasons
Each season lasts a week and ends Sunday evening, Pacific time. The team with the most points then wins, and a tie shares the title.
The season MVP is the player with the most season points, on any team.
When a season ends, a banner on the stream names the winner and the MVP. Then every team score and every player’s season points reset to 0, and everyone stays on their team.
FAQ
Is it free to play?
Yes. Joining a team, earning points and using the shop cost nothing.
Super Chats, once the channel can take them, are optional. They add spectacle and can set off chaos, but money never picks the event or a corner. The sender gets no points that other players don’t also get.
Can I win money or prizes?
No. Points are just for fun and have no cash value. There are no prizes: winning a season is for bragging rights.
Why did my name change or disappear?
Names are cleaned up before they go on stage: emoji, accents and symbols come out, and long names stop at 16 characters. A name that looks offensive, poses as staff or is mostly in another alphabet shows as a stand-in like “Green player 4821”. So does one that’s too short or holds a link, an @ or a phone number.
Moderators can hide a name the same way, and a ban or timeout in the chat hides it too. You keep playing, but a hidden name gets no !points answer.
Where did my points go?
Season points reset to 0 when a season ends or when you switch teams. If you haven’t chatted for 30 days, you leave your team and your points go: type a join command to come back.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. The stream is vertical and made for phones: watch it in the YouTube app and type commands in the live chat.
Why didn’t my command do anything?
Commands start with “!”, and most need you on a team first. Shop items also need enough points, and some have cooldowns; if one can’t go through, nothing happens on the stream. When chat is quiet, a command can take up to about a minute and a half to arrive.
How do I get my data deleted?

How Corner Club works with YouTube
Corner Club is developed by Tellwright Multimedia LLC. It works with YouTube through YouTube API Services, on one channel only: Corner Club (@CornerClubTWM), which we run. Read our Privacy Policy.
Who signs in. Only the channel’s owner signs in, with Google, to give Corner Club access to the channel. It asks Google for one permission, youtube.force-ssl, which is broad: Corner Club uses it only for the actions listed below. Viewers never sign in to Corner Club: they chat with their own YouTube account, as on any live stream.
What Corner Club does on the channel:
- Reads live chat messages, with each viewer’s name, channel ID and badges, to run the game and show names on stage.
- Reads Super Chat and Super Sticker amounts and new memberships, for on-stage banners and chaos.
- Reads bans and timeouts, and moderators’ !hide commands, to keep those viewers’ names off the stage.
- Reads the channel’s subscriber count about once a minute, for the chaos meter.
- Checks the channel’s broadcast and stream status, to keep the schedule running.
- Starts the channel’s live broadcasts, or takes over one already live, and ends each on schedule, never past 11 h 55 min. That keeps each one under YouTube’s 12-hour limit for saved replays.
- Gives each new broadcast its own title and description, with the date and day or night filled in, and copies the last one’s category, tags and languages. If a broadcast it made goes live in a later block, it updates that broadcast’s title and description to match, unless its title was changed in YouTube Studio.
- Sets each broadcast’s thumbnail.
- Deletes a broadcast it set up only if it never went live.
- Posts one kind of message in the live chat, as the channel: answers to !points, a limited number each day. The owner can turn this off.
Each !points answer shows the viewer’s on-stage name, team, season points and rank, or says they aren’t on a team yet. Everyone in chat can see it. Corner Club posts nothing else and never deletes chat messages.
Corner Club never saves what viewers write in chat, and Super Chat messages are read but never shown, used or kept. The one exception is moderators’ !hide, !unhide and !names commands, which are logged for up to 30 days.
Game data. Scores, points, MVPs, seasons and chaos goals are Corner Club’s own game data, made from what players type in chat and from game events. They aren’t YouTube data or YouTube statistics. The chaos meter shows how many more subscribers the next goal needs, worked out by Corner Club from the count YouTube reports.
Your data. Corner Club runs on a computer we operate and keeps its data in files there, not in a cloud database. For each player it keeps their channel ID, on-stage name, team, points, game timers, hide status and when they last chatted. It never sells or shares this data.
Players’ names do show on the stream, in !points answers and in our clips, and stay in YouTube’s saved replays. A viewer’s data is deleted within 30 days of their last chat, or of a later hide, ban or timeout involving them. Anyone can ask us to delete theirs sooner, as the FAQ explains.
Apart from YouTube and Google, Corner Club contacts only Healthchecks.io, when phone alerts are on. Healthchecks gets a status ping every 2 minutes, with no viewer data.
Removing access. The channel owner can remove Corner Club’s access at any time in Google’s security settings or with Corner Club’s own sign-out. Sign-out revokes the access with Google right away and deletes the saved sign-in and the broadcast history saved with it. After a removal in Google’s settings, they’re deleted within 30 days; viewer data keeps its own 30-day clock either way.
Corner Club’s use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Corner Club isn’t sponsored or endorsed by YouTube or Google. By taking part in Corner Club, you agree to our Terms and agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. The Google Privacy Policy explains how Google itself handles data.
