Games Like Take A Joke

Family game night just got hilariously weird. The TV shows a prompt with a blank in it. Everyone picks their funniest answer from their phone. The cards get read out loud on the big screen, one at a time, and somebody gets crowned. Then it happens again, and it gets worse. It's the party game with bite — gross, weird, embarrassing, absurd — with no swearing, no sex, and nothing you'd have to explain to a nine-year-old.

The jokes are about the people in the room

Everyone types their name when they join, and those names go straight into the deck — in the prompts and in the answers. Pronouns follow along automatically, so every card comes out reading like a real sentence no matter who it lands on. "I have so many questions about why Bob brought ___ to the funeral." "... a life-size cardboard cutout of Dana." That's the whole game in one line: it's funnier when it's about you. The only question is whether you can take it.

Grab a TV. Grab your phones.

One purchase covers the table. Only the TV needs the game. Everybody else just needs the phone already in their pocket.

Four ways to play

Mix and match how you answer with how you win:

Turn on Players Only mode and every single prompt is about somebody at the table.

Sound familiar?

Made for fans of Jackbox, Cards Against Humanity, Kids Against Maturity, and Apples to Apples.

You set the line

Switch off whole categories before you deal a single card — gross-out humor, bathroom jokes, and more. Game night with grandparents and a six-year-old is a different night than game night with your college roommates, and the deck adjusts to the room. And in Write Your Own mode, the game filters what players type — so the kid testing the boundaries doesn't get to put it on the TV in front of Grandma.

What you get

Everyone at the table takes a turn being the punchline. Sooner or later, it's yours.
