Best Telegram bots for group chats

In short

For a livelier group, add @ChatGamesForGroupsBot for charades, duels and a daily pick, and @TranscribeVoiceBot so every voice message also appears as text. @InlineToolkitBot and @MiniGamesInChatBot need no adding at all: type the name in the chat to convert currency or roll dice, or to start tic-tac-toe, four in a row or rock-paper-scissors with a friend. All of them are free bots from the HandyBots family, made by us.

  1. Group Chat Games

    @ChatGamesForGroupsBot

    Best for: Charades, duels and a daily pick of the chat

    Add it to the group and start a game with a command; the bot keeps a leaderboard so the chat has something to compete for.

    Free, no daily limit

    Works without Telegram Premium

  2. Mini Games in Chat

    @MiniGamesInChatBot

    Best for: Tic-tac-toe, four in a row and rock-paper-scissors in the chat

    Type the bot's name in the group or in a chat with a friend and pick a game: your friend taps ▶️ Join and you take turns, and only the two of you can make moves. In a private chat with the bot there are also nine solo games — minesweeper, 2048, sudoku and more. Tic-tac-toe with a friend.

    Free, no daily limit

    Works without Telegram Premium

  3. Voice to Text

    @TranscribeVoiceBot

    Best for: Voice messages as text for the whole group

    Made an admin, it transcribes every voice message and round video in the group automatically, so members can read instead of listening.

    Free: 30 minutes a day

    Works without Telegram Premium

  4. Best for: Currency, dice and random picks right in the chat

    Works inline: anyone types the bot's name in the message field and sends the result — the bot does not even need to be in the group.

    Free, no daily limit

    Works without Telegram Premium

  5. Anonymous Questions

    @AskAnonFriendBot

    Best for: Anonymous questions from the chat

    Post your personal link in the group chat and members can ask you anything anonymously. The bot itself isn't added to the group: questions arrive in your private chat with it, and the author stays hidden even from you.

    Free: up to 30 questions a day per sender

    Works without Telegram Premium

  6. How Well Do You Know Me? Quiz

    @HowWellKnowMeQuizBot

    Best for: A quiz about yourself to share with the group

    Make a “How well do you know me?” test and post the link in the chat; the bot shows who of the friends scored best.

    Free, no daily limit

    Works without Telegram Premium

Frequently asked questions

Does a bot need admin rights in the group?

@TranscribeVoiceBot needs admin rights to read every voice message. The games bot works as a regular member, but with admin rights charades guesses work in ordinary messages, not only as replies. Inline bots need not be added at all.

Do group games cost anything?

No. The games bot is free with no daily limit.

Can I use these bots in a channel?

They are made for groups and private chats. Inline bots like @InlineToolkitBot work in any chat where you can write a message.

Can we play tic-tac-toe in a group chat?

Yes. Type @MiniGamesInChatBot in the group, pick tic-tac-toe, four in a row or rock-paper-scissors, and a board appears in the chat. The first person to tap ▶️ Join plays against you, and 🔁 Rematch starts the next game. The bot does not need to be added to the group.
