Custom Show

The Custom Show is a feature in.

History
Custom Shows were introduced at the start of Season 3, in an early access format. Hosting a custom show was limited to a selected bunch of content creators, and required the minimum number of players in a playlist to start a game (40 for Main Show and most alternate playlists). Only Steam players could host and join lobbies in this iteration. Hosting a show was also limited to Main Show and whichever alternate playlist was active at that time. (Squads Show, however, was unable to be selected as the playlist type in custom shows.)

Eventually, Custom Shows was released to everyone with the Season 4.5 update. This version of the feature was revamped, relative to the initial iteration. It featured the ability to select from a wider variety of playlists (with the option to favourite some of them), a list of players in the lobby (with the option to kick any specific player), and cross-platform lobbies. Player requirements were also dropped for all playlists, with some playlists only requiring a minimum of 4 players.

Mechanics

 * Custom Shows do NOT give any rewards for participation - no, , or , and they are not intended to be used to attain achievements.
 * Strangely, during Season 4, Custom Shows can be used to complete daily Challenges. This is no longer the case as of Season 4.5.
 * All medals in all rounds are pink-coloured. There is no results screen; every player is immediately sent back to the lobby falling screen at the conclusion of a Custom Show, if they have not left the lobby earlier.

How to host/join a show
Go into the Show Selector menu, then change the tab to Custom Shows. From there, the player will see two options - Host or Join show.

To host a show, click on the Host button and follow the prompts specified on-screen to select a show, view players list, or (most importantly) show/hide the lobby code so other players can join your show. Once the minimum player requirement has been satisfied, the host can press the button to start the show at any time.

To join a show, click on the Join button and enter the lobby code provided by your host.

Known bugs

 * It is possible to trick the game into selecting finals with 60 players. Select a normal playlist like Main Show, wait until it has filled up, then quickly switch playlist and spam the button to start the show.
 * This will result in a 60-person Hex-A-Gone, Jump Showdown, Fall Mountain, and Roll Off for Hex-a-gone Trials, Jump Around, Fall Ball Cup and Roll Call respectively.
