How it works

1. 1

   Add the bot

   Click Add to Discord and pick the server. Takes about 30 seconds.

2. 2

   Link your account

   Run /movienight link in any channel. The bot DMs a one-time URL — sign in to Movie Night Polls and you're set.

3. 3

   Run /movienight create

   A modal opens. Add a title and a list of films, one per line. Submit. The poll posts in the channel within a few seconds.

4. 4

   Vote and close

   Anyone clicks a number to vote. When you're ready, /movienight close announces the winner with a celebration message.

What the bot does

• Movie posters in chat

  Each poll renders with a server-rendered poster strip — voters can actually see what they're picking.

• Live tallies

  Click a vote button and the message updates in place. No refresh, no separate results post.

• Tie-breaker UI

  When a poll closes in a tie, the bot offers the host a one-click resolver: crown one movie, or accept the tie.

• Share into other channels

  Use /movienight share to repost a poll into another channel. Closing once announces the result everywhere it was posted.

• Cross-platform attribution

  If a voter has linked their Movie Night Polls account, their web votes and Discord votes are recognized as one person.

• Same polls on the web

  Every poll lives at movienightpolls.com too — manage, share, and revisit on any device.

FAQ

Do voters need a Movie Night Polls account?

No. Anyone in the channel can click vote buttons — voting is free for everyone. Only the person hosting the poll (running /movienight create) needs to link a Pro account.

What does Pro cost?

$9.99/month (or $99/year). Pro unlocks unlimited polls, private (unlisted) polls, dark mode, and chat-platform integrations like this Discord bot.

Can I host more than one poll at a time?

Yes. Each /movienight create starts a new poll. Use /movienight close <poll-id> to wrap one up — autocomplete shows your open polls.

What happens if a poll ties?

The bot replies (only to you) with a row of buttons: one per tied movie plus an Accept tie button. Click to crown a winner or post the tie publicly.

Can the same poll live in multiple channels?

Yes — /movienight share posts an existing poll into the current channel. Vote tallies stay in sync across every place the poll appears.

What data does the bot store?

Just the mapping between your Discord user ID and Movie Night Polls account, plus the polls you create. See our privacy policy for full details.
