Add OmniBot to your group
Open https://t.me/RevolucionMafiaBot, choose “Add to Group,” and select the Telegram group where you want games to run.
Set up a game-ready group
OmniBot lives inside Telegram. Add it to a group, give it the permissions that keep games tidy, then start with something small.
Make the bot an admin
OmniBot can run basic commands without being admin, but games feel much smoother with the right permissions.
Run /start in DM
Many features need the bot to be able to DM players. Open a private chat with OmniBot and run /start, then head back to the group.
Configure tracks
For daily games such as Quiz, Two Truths, Wordsmith, and English Educator, use each game's own menu to pick active tracks and pacing. Fast, normal, and slow tracks let different time zones coexist.
Open the Play menu
Use /start and tap Play for almost everything: Grid games, Party games, Deduction, Card table, Anonymous, Learning, and Group tools. Direct commands still work, but the menu keeps BotFather's command list short and easier for new players.
Schedule events with a timezone
For event reminders, include the timezone in the command: /schedule Friday 7pm Europe/London | Game night. OmniBot pins the RSVP card, then pins an "It's time" reminder when that timezone arrives.
Use Stop Game when a room gets stuck
The main menu includes a Stop Game control for active lobbies and running rooms. It is available to group members by default, and admins can make it admin-only from OmniBot settings.
Troubleshooting
Most setup issues come from Telegram permissions or players who have not opened a DM with the bot yet.
Buttons say to open DM
The player needs to run /start privately once. Telegram blocks bots from DMing people first.
Inline submit is visible
Give OmniBot delete-message permission, then check BotFather inline mode and inline feedback settings.
Games feel quiet
Try a live game first, then enable slower tracks once people know what the bot does.
