blindbot

Blindbot is a Slack bot to play participative blindtest: players submit challenges and play, blindbot do the rest.

Use it

Submit a Youtube link:

/submit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0 "possible answer 1,possible answer 2,..." "hints"

Blindbot converts new submission into an MP3 sample hosted on its server. Then it posts the new challenge in the blindtest channel with an anonymised link.

When a player gives a right answer in the challenge's thread, blindbot adds an emoji to let other players know this challenge is completed.
