#### Starting the setup

{% endhint %}
2. Select **Start Setup**.

**Custom Setup:**

#### **Customising**
4. For this example, we'll use **Call of Duty** for the **Game Name**. **4** for the **Team Sizes** and **Obj, Slayer, Anchor and Support** for the **Role Labels**.
1. **Game Name****:**
1. Enter any characters from 1-200 characters
2. **Team Size:**
* Enter a number between **1 and 8**.
* *Example:* `4`
3. **Role Labels:**
* Each role must have a **unique name**.
* Do **not** use the same name more than once.
* If your game has similar roles, add a number or identifier to make them unique.
* *Example:* Use `Slayer 1` and `Slayer 2` instead of just `Slayer`.
4. **Matching Roles to Team Size:**
* The number of roles you enter should **match your team size**.
* *Example:* If your team size is `4`, you need to enter `4` unique role labels.

## InHouseQueue Game flow 🔧
It's a good idea for Owners or Admins to understand how the game flow of InHouseQueue works. This will help you guide your members better. Here's how to test it:
1. **Enable Test Mode:** Use the `/queue test_mode` command and set it to **True**.
2. **Start a Queue:** Run the `/start` command in your queue channel to begin a new queue.
3. **Invite a Friend:** You’ll need another person to test this. If you don’t have anyone available, you can use a second account.
4. **Test Joining:** In Test Mode, all buttons except one will be greyed out. Both you and your friend (or your second account) should join the queue.
5. **Ready Up Phase:** This will trigger the ready-up phase. Ready up, and InHouseQueue will create a Game with two voice channels and a Lobby channel.
6. **Ending a Test Game:** Once you're satisfied, you can close the Test Mode game using `/cancel`. If you want to test leaderboard updates use the `/winner` command to declare a winner.
7. Select either the Red or Blue role using the GameID created by InHouseQueue. Note that ending with `/winner` will affect the leaderboard.
8. If you want to test the MVP voting flow, you should end the game by starting a vote with `/win` - See more details [here](https://docs.inhousequeue.xyz/docs/commands/game-commands#bulb-begin-vote-for-a-winner)
#### MVP Voting
1. At this point you may click the Vote MVP button. Use this to vote for the player you thought played the best! The player with the most votes will win MVP for that match and their MVP score will increase by 1. If there is a tie, both players get the points!
2. Once one player has voted, a 5-minute timer begins. After 1 minute, all players who haven't voted receive a reminder. The voting phase ends after 5 minutes — anyone who hasn't voted by then won't be able to.
3. The Winner(s) are announced in the Queue channel.
#### What’s next
Now that you’re familiar with InHouseQueue, you’re ready to help your community use it effectively!
