“Rename any famous work of literature so that it is ruined by the word ‘butt’” This isn’t so much a tip as just something I noticed going through our past games… “The worst thing to say during your Supreme Court Justice confirmation hearing”Īs you debate the legal system and the intricacies of the Engish language, you can craft some clever bon mots and look up the meaning of words like “bon mots.” Quiplash can be more than just a drunken giggle fest, it can be the spark that ignites many intelligent conversations with prompts like:
“Best thing to scream out of a moving party bus” For example, the prompts we wrote for our Bachelorette Party edition were designed to create fun inside jokes among a bridal party and to help them plan their evening: “The worst song when stripping for a lover”Īs long as you just have to imagine the scenario you can have a good laugh! Instead of defeatedly pulling your suspenders back on while the Baha Men play in the background.Ī good Quiplash prompt should work with a variety of audiences, but sometimes we create games for very specific events. For instance, I can take a particularly embarrassing Valentine’s Day memory and turn it into a chance for a group of friends to ponder how it could have gone worse: Like all writers, the staff at Jackbox Games are tortured individuals who transform our pain into art.
By introducing silly phrases, imaginary characters and ridiculous premises, we hope new players understand that their response should be equally whimsical.Īdding a funny word also allows us to just crib ideas from old educational textbooks: Now, “Boogey” is an inherently funny word and it may surprise you to learn that the “Boogeyman” is not a real person. Then the players get to create hilarious answers. In Quiplash you’re given a prompt such as: In doing so, we’ve discovered a few secrets for creating the perfect Quiplash prompt. While some may try to sabotage the competition, this writing staff prefers to set up our successors for success. In Quiplash 2 (included in The Jackbox Party Pack 3 ) you can even create your own Quiplash episodes! Both are super fun party games and a constant terrifying reminder to the comedy writers who work at Jackbox that they are easily replaceable. Quiplash and Quiplash 2 are Jackbox games that allow anyone to become a comedy writer.
