Waterpark Simulator Twitch Integration: Commands and Fixes

Open Settings, type your Twitch channel name and press Connect. A bot called waterpark_sim joins your chat. Viewers type !visit to become one of your guests or !hireme to become a staff member, adding m or f to pick a male or female model. It is first come, first served, and a viewer has to type the command again after leaving the park.

Connect your channel

Open Settings. Since 0.3.71 (February 2026) this works from the main menu as well as the in-game menu.
Type your Twitch channel name and press Connect.
Watch the status indicator, which shows whether the bot is connected.
Check your chat for waterpark_sim. When a streamer asked whether the bot has to be made a moderator, another player answered no.
Tell chat the commands, or paste the panel text below.

The chat commands

Command	What happens
!visit	Claims an upcoming visitor, who walks in with the viewer's display name
!hireme	Claims an upcoming staff member with the viewer's display name
!visit m / !visit f	Same, choosing a male or female visitor
!hireme m / !hireme f	Same, choosing a male or female staff member

From the 6 September 2025 announcement and the 0.2.30 notes, which added the m and f option.

Panel or chat text you can paste

Type !visit to join my waterpark as a guest, or !hireme to work here. Add m or f after the command to pick your character. First come, first served.

The commands claim an upcoming visitor or hire, so names appear as new guests arrive and new staff join, not instantly.

“Already is. Like it says on the description !visit m and !visit f. Same for hireme”

Hai Cayplay[developer, asked whether gender could be chosen]· 5 October 2025

For a short while in September 2025 female staff requests were ignored while new staff models were made (0.2.35); by October the developer's reply above treated both options as working. Names only go on park visitors, never on pedestrians walking past outside, a fix from the same patch.

How viewers get picked

“As explained there viewers will have to use the command to join. It will be first come first served. And yes they have to redo it again to appear again after they have left the park”

Hai Cayplay[developer]· 28 September 2025

One list per viewer. A viewer who types !visit and later !hireme stays a visitor. The developer traced it to Twitch: "if they're already queued for one of the lists, they don't get added to other lists on request".
That explains a complaint in the same thread: a streamer fired a viewer so they could re-apply with a different model, and the viewer never appeared in the hiring list again, while still turning up fine as a visitor.
A visit ends when the guest leaves. For regulars to come back, they type !visit again.
Those are the only built-in commands. Players have asked for more, including a thread titled "!peeinpool and !poopinpool NEED to be Twitch chat commands".

When the bot won't connect

Status stuck on Disconnected in mid-September 2025 was Twitch's side, not yours. The developers said they "were down for a few days due to Twitch being Twitch" and brought it back in hot fix 0.2.38.
Heavy traffic: support on Discord told one streamer the bot was "experiencing a high level of traffic which may cause the bot to have a slower or failed connection", and to try again later.
Stop hammering Connect. During the outage one streamer's game crashed after pressing it several times, and another crashed just trying the integration.
Retype the channel name. Since 0.2.32 the game strips invisible non-breaking spaces from it and gives better feedback when a connection fails.
Trying from the main menu? That broke for a while and was restored in 0.3.71. If it fails there, connect from Settings inside your park.
One viewer can visit but never gets hired: that is the one-list rule above, not a broken bot.

Version history, and Crowd Control

Date	Version	Change
6 Sep 2025	0.2.29	First version: !visit and !hireme
8 Sep 2025	0.2.30	m and f option; in-game status indicator for the bot
9 Sep 2025	0.2.32	Channel name clean-up, clearer failed-connection feedback
11 Sep 2025	0.2.35	Names on visitors only; female staff requests paused
19 Sep 2025	0.2.38	Hot fix restoring the integration after the Twitch outage
11 Feb 2026	0.3.71	Works from the main menu again

From the official announcements and patch notes. Nothing in the 1.0 notes changes the commands.

The 0.2.38 fix came with a thank-you to Matthew from Crowd Control for suggesting a different way to build the connection. Crowd Control is a separate service that lets viewers trigger effects in games, and it already had a Waterpark Simulator pack at the time, which the developers linked in the same post. If you want chat doing more than naming your guests, that is the route. For friends who want to play in the park rather than watch it, see the multiplayer guide.
