The Say Anything Party Game
The team behind the hit party games YOU DONT KNOW JACK, Fibbage, and Drawful presents Quiplash, the gut-busting battle of wits and wittiness! Use your phone or tablet (thats right no controllers needed) to answer simple prompts like Something youd be surprised to see a donkey do or A double rainbow doesnt have gold at the end of it. Instead, it has ______ There are no rules or correct answers. You just say whatever you want! Youll know youre playing Quiplash when you type something like unicorn farts on your phone, and it carries you to victory.
Capture the Vote!
Your answer is pitted against another players answer in a head-to-head clash of cleverness and comedy. Or, sometimes, the decision could come down to simply Which answer is least stupid? Other players then vote for their favorite answer to determine who wins that round. And get this: the game actually supports Audience participation up to 10,000 people (in addition to the core 3-8 players) can join - live in-person or via a stream of the game - and actually affect the vote! Its a laugh-a-minute party game that anyone, and virtually everyone, can play.
Bring It Home in The Last Lash
The laugh party culminates in The Last Lash, where the stakes are multiplied and all players answer the same final question. Everyone competes against everyone, and each player gets three votes to hand out to their favorite answer or answers. What is the worst theme for a pinball machine: Global Warming or Soup? Or maybe Death and Suffering tickles your fancy? Its a question only you and your friends can answer. Remember: If you can type the word diarrhea, you can win at Quiplash!
Gameplay
Details
The defining feature of Quiplash is the ability to play using your phone, tabet, or computer as your controller. This not only eliminates the need for a bunch of controllers, it allows players to have a keyboard under their secret control with which they can input secret information. In addition, the game supports an audience of up to 10,000 players. Audience members can affect the vote (much like on a reality competition show on TV) even though they are not contestants. This feature allows extra players at large parties to still be involved in the game, and it allows viewer of streams of the game online to actually participate in the game they are watching streamed - even though the game is, technically, a local couch-play game. In all cases, players simply connect to jackbox.tv on their web-enabled controller (phone, tablet, etc.) and enter the 4-letter code unique to that game, and they are in. The first 8 players to log in are the players, and anyone after that becomes the audience.
