Your chat picks a country, rides its boat and keeps it afloat.
Nations Boat Race turns your TikTok Live into a speedboat race between countries. Up to ten boats painted in their countries' flags line up on the water in front of the grandstand, and after 3, 2, 1 they race round a buoy course to the finish line. Viewers pick a side once, by typing the lane number or the country's name, and from then on everything they send powers that boat.
Your top gifters ride the boat
Each boat carries a captain and three crew, and the seats go to the country's biggest gifters in that race, their profile pictures as the sailors' faces. The biggest one stands at the wheel in a captain's hat. A bigger gift takes the wheel, the old captain moves back a seat, and the seats open again at the start of every race, so the first gifter of a race claims the wheel.
Knockout buoys
Big yellow knockout buoys stand along the course, one for each boat over three. When every other boat has passed one, the boat still behind it sinks on the spot, its crew bobbing in lifebuoys, until three finalists race for the podium. The boat in danger flashes on the ranking and a siren sounds, so its country knows it needs help. Gifts sent to a sunk country are saved for the next race.
A ladder of boosts
Out of the box 20 likes make the crew paddle with their hands, a Rose is one giant oar stroke with a shout of HUP, a Finger Heart or a follow launches the boat off a ramp, a Hand Heart sends a whale up under it to carry it on its back, and a Money Gun turns the captain into a giant who wades through the water pushing the boat. Any other gift plays the boost for its price, so the same coins buy the same distance. Every boost only helps the sender's own boat, and a gentle catch-up keeps races close without slowing the leader.
Four maps and your own teams
Race in the Harbor, a Tropical Lagoon, an Ice Fjord in falling snow or a Night Canal under the city lights, or a new map every race (the default). Pick 2 to 10 countries in any order, race colors when everyone is from one country, or set up your own teams with their names, colors and pictures. The three finalists stand on the podium on the pier, the winning captain's face biggest of all.
Your chat is the controller.
Viewers take part with the gifts and comments they already send in your TikTok Live. Here is how a round of Nations Boat Race plays out.
- Pick a country onceA viewer types a lane number or a country's name and joins that country. Every gift and like they send afterwards boosts its boat, and a gift from a viewer with no country puts them on the one in last place still afloat.
- Gifters ride as crewThe country's biggest gifters in the race sit in the boat with their profile pictures as faces, the biggest at the wheel as captain. The seats open again every race.
- Knockout buoysAt each knockout buoy the last boat sinks, until three finalists race for the podium. The boat in danger flashes and a siren sounds, and a sunk country's gifts wait for the next race.
- Boosts only helpPaddle, oar stroke, ramp jump, whale ride and giant captain, each faster and longer than the last. Every send is its own stroke or splash on screen, and no gift slows another country.
Every trigger is yours to rewire.
Bind any action to a gift, comment, like, or follow, and set a minimum gift amount so only real support counts. Chain several triggers to one action, or point the same gift at something different. These are the actions Nations Boat Race exposes, ready to bind however you run your show.

Common questions about Nations Boat Race.
How do viewers join a country in Nations Boat Race?
They comment the lane number or the country's name, in any of the thirteen languages, or its flag emoji. They join once, and from then on everything they send goes to that country. A viewer who sends a gift before joining is put on the country in last place still afloat, so no gift is lost.
What do gifts do?
Out of the box 20 likes make the crew paddle, a Rose is an oar stroke, a Finger Heart or a follow is a ramp jump, a Hand Heart a whale ride and a Money Gun a giant captain. Any other gift plays the boost for its price. Every action can be rebound to any gift, or to comments, likes and follows.
How do viewers get on the boat?
By gifting. The country's four biggest gifters in the race ride as its crew with their profile pictures as faces, and the biggest stands at the wheel as captain. The seats open again at the start of each race.
What happens when a boat sinks?
It is out of that race, and its crew bob in lifebuoys. Gifts sent to its country afterwards are saved and go off at the start of the next race, and its viewers can switch to another country.
