Two answers enter, one laugh leaves
Wisecrack. Drawbluff's sibling. Two players answer the same prompt, everyone else votes for the funnier answer, and the final round gives everyone the same prompt.
Once the room, the phones, the voice and the music worked for Drawbluff, a second game was mostly a matter of writing prompts. This one is about being funny in writing.
Each round, every player gets two prompts on their phone, for example "the worst excuse for forgetting someone's birthday". Each prompt goes to exactly two players, so somebody else in the room is answering it too.
Then the prompts come up on the TV one at a time, with the two answers side by side and no names attached. Everyone who didn't write them votes for the one they like best.
Points follow the share of the vote. If both players wrote the same answer it is a jinx and nobody scores. Take every single vote and you get a bonus.
I left out one thing on purpose: there is no button that writes an answer for you. The fun is in writing your own line, even a bad one.
The final round, the Last Laugh, gives everyone the same prompt, or three letters to turn into a phrase. All the answers go up together and each player has three votes to spread around, so the final round can still turn the game around.
There are 1,095 prompts, and bots can fill empty seats, which made the game easy to test on my own before a real evening with friends.
Made with Node.js (no dependencies), Server-Sent Events, Kokoro TTS, WebAudio.
