Bobble League is a Sports Game created by Discord which can be accessed from the app's "Activities" menu within voice chat.

In this game, two teams of Bobbles are competing to score soccer goals. There are four Bobbles on each time, and players take command of them by clicking and dragging to aim them at a certain direction and speed. There are also collectible power-ups, or "Power Plays".


Bobble League contains examples of the following tropes:

  • Big Head Mode: The Big Head Power Play increases the size of a single Bobble's head while also turning it into a Mighty Glacier.
  • Own Goal: Due to the unpredictability of Bobble movement, it is very easy for a team to accidentally score a point for the opponent. This can also be invoked with the Swap Goals Power Play, where for the next turn, the two teams' goals switch sides with each other.
  • Intangibility: The Ghosted Power Play can be placed on any individual Bobble, disabling collisions with other Bobbles for the next turn.
  • Mighty Glacier: The Big Head Power Play grants a Bobble extra kicking power, at the expense of movement speed.
  • Nitro Boost: The Boost Power Play allows a player to place a temporary speed boost pad on the field.
  • Punny Name: Most of the team names are puns of some form, including "Bad Cattitude", "B-Team", "Flagrant Fowl", "Snow Ballers", "Troubles Bruin", and "T-Wrecks".
  • Ramp Jump: A Ramp can be placed on the field, launching Bobbles into the sky.
  • Repeat Cut: When a team scores a goal, an instant replay is shown for that turn.
  • Reset Button: Downplayed with the Move Ball and Move Player Power Plays, which reset the position of the ball and of an individual Bobble, respectively, to the center of the field. Other players remain in their current positions.
  • Springs, Springs Everywhere: The four corners of the table feature red and white bumpers which bounce Bobbles that touch them. The Big Bumpers Power Play makes them both larger and more powerful, enough so to launch Bobbles across the map.
  • Sticky Situation: Sticky Goo can be placed down on the field, causing both Bobbles and the ball to stick to it.
  • Turn-Based Strategy, Real Time Combat: In each turn, both teams get 15 seconds to decide where to move their Bobbles. After this, however, the Bobbles interact with one another in real time.
