Quiplash
Play Quiplash — the comedy party game where players write funny answers to prompts and the audience votes for the best one. Up to 8 players.
About This Game
Quiplash is the crown jewel of Jackbox party games and arguably the best digital party game ever made. The concept is devastatingly simple: players are given absurd prompts ("The worst thing to say to your boss"), everyone writes their funniest answer, and then the group votes on which response wins each head-to-head matchup. The player whose answers get the most votes wins.
The game works because it turns your friends' sense of humor into the entertainment. There are no right answers — just funny ones. A Quiplash prompt is only as good as the people playing, which means the game gets better as your group gets more comfortable and creative. Inside jokes, callbacks to earlier rounds, and perfectly timed references create moments that groups remember for years.
Quiplash supports up to 8 active players with a massive audience of voters, making it ideal for parties and streaming. The latest version (Quiplash 3) includes custom episode creation, letting you write your own prompts for personalized games. This feature is incredible for team building, birthday parties, or any event where tailored content makes the game hit harder.

Tips & Strategy
- Specificity is funnier than vagueness — "my dentist" is funnier than "someone weird."
- Play to your audience. Know what your group finds funny and lean into it.
- Short, punchy answers often beat long, wordy ones.
- The final round (Thriplash) has three-way matchups with triple points — save your best material.
- Custom prompts tailored to your group create the best Quiplash sessions.
