Write the punchline yourself
Most party games hand you a hand of cards and hope one of them lands. This one skips the middleman: the game sets up the joke, and you write the punchline on your phone or tablet. No app to install, any browser works. Stumped? Drop in a sneaky House Answer instead, one of the pre-written decoys meant to trap your friends into voting for a joke nobody wrote. Then everyone votes, blind, for the answer they think is funniest. The scoring is honest only as long as you are.
Four mini-games, four ways to be funny
Sub The Title is the standout: a clip from an old foreign film plays, and you write the subtitle. Monster movies, martial arts pictures, films that are just plain weird, and the actors end up saying whatever you type. Blank-o-Matic gives you a sentence with a hole in it, written by actual comedy writers, and you fill the hole. EXTRA, EXTRA! asks for a caption or clickbait headline for a ridiculous photo. Survey Says is a rapid-fire lightning round where you go with your gut instead of your wit.
A crowd of up to a thousand
Six people play, but the audience plays too. Up to 1,000 spectators can watch, vote for their favorite answers each round, and hand out their own awards at the end: funniest player, dirtiest, most offensive. So the quiet cousin on the couch and the entire stream chat both get a say.
Made for the living room
This is a game for a group in one room: simple rules, short rounds, nothing to explain twice. Everyone grabs a phone, joins, and the jokes start. Playing with grandparents or kids? Family Mode filters out the adult and controversial prompts, so the same game works at a birthday and at game night. The whole thing sits on a classy vintage soundtrack by composer Bob Thompson, which makes the room feel like a slightly classier game show than it has any right to.
Playing with faraway friends
The game is built for local play, but nobody has to miss out. Remote players can join over a stream or video conference: one person runs the game, everyone else plays from their phones and watches the shared screen. It takes a little setup, a call with working audio and a screen to look at, and then it plays like everyone is on the same couch. One thing to know: all the content is in English only.
Frequently asked questions?
Can you play it solo?
No. You need at least 3 players to start a game, and the whole point is writing jokes for other people to vote on. If your group is scattered, one person can host and everyone else can join remotely through a stream or video call, playing from their own phones.
How much content is in the game?
There is a lot to get through: four mini-games with hours of prompts, film clips and photos, and more has been added over time. That said, if your group plays session after session, you will start seeing familiar clips and setups. For most groups that is many game nights away.
Is there anything to keep kids from seeing?
Yes. Family Mode filters out adult and controversial prompts, so you can switch the game between an adults-only round and a round with kids or grandparents without swapping games. The rest of the setup stays the same: phones as controllers, short rounds, everyone voting.
