A free Jackbox alternative

Table Party is not affiliated with Jackbox Games or any other publisher. These are our own versions of party games your table probably already knows by name, written to run in a browser — what carries over is the format, not the product.

The big-screen door sits in the lobby: a laptop or TV joins the room as a watcher rather than a player, and the phones stay the controllers. Psych, Quiplash, Drawful, Wits & Wagers, Wavelength and Herd Mentality have screens built for the room.

The rest of the list is what a phone can do that a controller cannot. Drawful hands you a canvas, Fake Artist gives the whole table one drawing and one line each, and Chameleon and Just One are a single word — typed, or said out loud.

Questions about A free Jackbox alternative

Are these the same games as the ones in those packs?

No. They share names tables already use, but each one here is our own implementation with our own prompts, and Table Party is not affiliated with or licensed by any publisher.

What actually appears on the big screen?

The public half of the game: answers as they arrive, votes landing one at a time, scores rolling between rounds. Six of these have a screen written for it, and the rest are played on the phones alone.

Which is closest to a straight quiz?

Wits & Wagers, though it rewards the opposite of knowing things. Every answer is a number, and you bet on whichever guess on the table lands closest without going over — including somebody else’s.

What is here that a party pack usually isn’t?

Dixit, Fake Artist and Chameleon are board games rather than game-show rounds. They use the phones the same way, but you spend the round reading a person instead of voting for the funniest answer.
