OpenClaw QQ bot game and entertainment functionality

Not every bot needs to be serious. Some of the most beloved bots in QQ groups are the ones that run trivia games, tell jokes, manage RPG campaigns, or host group challenges. Entertainment bots drive engagement — and an engaged group is a group that also uses your bot's serious features.

Let's build some fun into your OpenClaw QQ bot.

Why Entertainment Matters

Here's a counterintuitive truth: adding game functionality to a "productivity" bot increases usage of productivity features by 40-60%. Why? Because users who interact with the bot for fun develop a habit of talking to it. That habit carries over to work queries.

Game Skill: Trivia Quiz

The classic. Set up a trivia system that runs in any QQ group:

# /opt/clawdbot/config/qq-games.yaml
skills:
  trivia:
    enabled: true
    description: "Interactive trivia quiz game"
    config:
      categories:
        - technology
        - science
        - history
        - pop_culture
        - geography
      questions_per_round: 10
      time_per_question_sec: 30
      scoring:
        correct: 10
        speed_bonus: true  # Faster answers get more points
      leaderboard: "/opt/clawdbot/data/trivia-leaderboard.json"

In action:

User: "@bot trivia start technology"

Bot: "🎮 Trivia Round: Technology (10 questions)
  
  Q1: What year was the first iPhone released?
  A) 2005  B) 2006  C) 2007  D) 2008
  
  ⏱️ 30 seconds..."

Alice: "C"

Bot: "✅ @Alice got it! 2007 is correct. +10 points (answered in 3s, +5 speed bonus)
  
  Scores: @Alice: 15 | @Bob: 0 | @Charlie: 0
  
  Q2: Which programming language was created by Guido van Rossum?..."

Game Skill: Word Chain

A simple but addictive word game:

skills:
  word-chain:
    enabled: true
    config:
      language: "en"
      min_word_length: 3
      time_limit_sec: 15
      dictionary: "/opt/clawdbot/data/dictionary.txt"

User: "@bot wordchain start"
Bot: "Word Chain started! I'll go first: ELEPHANT"
Alice: "TIGER"
Bot: "✅ T-I-G-E-R. @Bob, your turn! Start with R..."
Bob: "RAINBOW"
Bot: "✅ R-A-I-N-B-O-W. @Charlie, start with W..."

Game Skill: RPG Adventure

For the ambitious — a text-based RPG that runs in the group chat:

// /opt/clawdbot/skills/rpg-adventure.js
const { Skill } = require('@openclaw/sdk');

class RPGSkill extends Skill {
  constructor() {
    super({
      name: 'rpg',
      description: 'Text-based RPG adventure in QQ group',
      triggers: ['rpg', 'adventure', 'quest']
    });
    this.gameState = {};
  }

  async execute(context) {
    const groupId = context.group_id;
    const userId = context.user_id;
    const command = context.message.toLowerCase();

    if (command.includes('start')) {
      return this.startAdventure(groupId, userId);
    }
    if (command.includes('attack')) {
      return this.handleCombat(groupId, userId, 'attack');
    }
    if (command.includes('explore')) {
      return this.handleExplore(groupId, userId);
    }
    if (command.includes('stats')) {
      return this.showStats(groupId, userId);
    }
  }

  startAdventure(groupId, userId) {
    this.gameState[groupId] = this.gameState[groupId] || {};
    this.gameState[groupId][userId] = {
      hp: 100, attack: 15, defense: 10,
      level: 1, xp: 0, gold: 50,
      location: 'village'
    };
    
    return {
      reply: `⚔️ Welcome, adventurer! You start in a quiet village.\n` +
             `HP: 100 | ATK: 15 | DEF: 10 | Gold: 50\n\n` +
             `Commands: explore, attack, stats, shop\n` +
             `What will you do?`
    };
  }
}

Leaderboard System

Every game needs a leaderboard:

{
  "trivia": {
    "all_time": [
      {"user": "alice_qq", "score": 2450, "games": 32},
      {"user": "bob_qq", "score": 1890, "games": 28},
      {"user": "charlie_qq", "score": 1650, "games": 25}
    ],
    "weekly": [
      {"user": "bob_qq", "score": 340, "games": 5}
    ]
  }
}

User: "@bot leaderboard trivia"

Bot: "🏆 Trivia All-Time Leaderboard:
  1. @Alice — 2,450 pts (32 games)
  2. @Bob — 1,890 pts (28 games)  
  3. @Charlie — 1,650 pts (25 games)
  
  This week's leader: @Bob with 340 pts!"

Rate Limiting for Games

Games can get spammy. Protect the group experience:

game_limits:
  max_active_games_per_group: 2
  cooldown_between_games_min: 5
  max_game_duration_min: 30
  quiet_hours:
    start: "23:00"
    end: "08:00"
    message: "Game features are paused during quiet hours. See you tomorrow!"

Monitoring Game Engagement

Track what's working:

#!/bin/bash
echo "=== Game Engagement Report ==="
echo "Games played today: $(grep -c 'game_start' /var/log/clawdbot/output.log)"
echo "Most popular game: $(grep 'game_start' /var/log/clawdbot/output.log | grep -oP 'game=\K[^ ]+' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -1)"
echo "Unique players: $(grep 'game_' /var/log/clawdbot/output.log | grep -oP 'user=\K[^ ]+' | sort -u | wc -l)"
echo "Avg game duration: $(grep 'game_end' /var/log/clawdbot/output.log | grep -oP 'duration=\K[0-9]+' | awk '{sum+=$1;n++} END{print int(sum/n) "s"}')"

The Fun Factor

Entertainment features aren't fluff — they're engagement multipliers. A bot that makes people smile is a bot that gets used.
