Backchat: Party Game Night

Backchat is the write-and-vote party game you can play anywhere: on the telly, on a Discord stream, or at a pub table with just your phones. A prompt comes up on every phone. Everyone types the funniest answer they can think of. The answers go up with no names on them, everyone votes, and then the names flip in. FIVE WAYS TO WIN THE ROOM • Headlines: head-to-head duels, two answers, one winner. • Front Page: everyone answers the same prompt and every answer goes up at once. • Gossip Column: prompts about someone in the room, and they get the casting vote. • Porkies: a true fact with a bit missing. Write a fake that sounds real and fool your friends. • Last Word: the finale. Three answers each, a ranked vote, double points. PICK YOUR CROWD Kids, Work, Mates or After Dark. The host picks who is here, and that sets the prompts and the answer filter together, so one party game covers family game night and a big night out. TELLY OPTIONAL A party game that works on phones alone, with a Reader to read the answers to the table, or put the game on any TV, laptop or screen share. PROMPTS ABOUT YOUR LOT Make a deck of prompts about your group, from the names and in-jokes you give it. You check every one before anyone sees it. THE FINE PRINT • Free for the whole room. No ads. • No account needed. • 3 to 16 players, plus an audience that votes and reacts. • Lose signal and you come back to the same seat and score. • Every game ends with a front page to share with the group chat. Cheeky, not cruel: every answer passes a word filter set by the crowd you pick, and anyone can report or block. Rated 18+.
