Party games you play out loud — on your TV, Echo, or phone

The best party games have no boards, no decks of cards, and nobody silently staring at their own screen. Everything we make follows one rule: the room plays together, out loud. Here’s the whole lineup, sorted by whatever hardware your living room happens to have.

Got a phone or a laptop? Start here.

Our browser games are free, need no install, and work on whatever device is nearest — pass one phone around the room or throw a laptop on the coffee table. Four good openers:

Reverso

Browser

Record a phrase, hear it backwards, dare a friend to mimic the gibberish. The machine scores their nonsense.

What Are You?

Browser

Your friends describe you, a robot rules on exactly what you are. Usually a breakfast food.

Trollilopolis

Browser

You are the trolley. The room votes on who lives, then lives with the statistics.

Play free →

The Price Is Nice

Browser

A loud, Vegas-y game-show parody. Whoever bids closest without going over gets the glory.

Play free →

The full fleet — including the ocean odyssey and the Christmas special — lives on the home page.

Got an Echo? Play with zero screens.

We ship 7 voice games for Alexa — backwards- talking battles, an audio escape room, dockside trivia, a jar of arguments. No screen, no hands: someone says “Alexa, open reverso game” and the whole room is playing.

Got a Fire TV? Put the party on the big screen.

Four of our games — Trollilopolis, The Price Is Nice, Who Are You: Xmas, Heifferopolis — come bundled in one Fire TV app, driven entirely by the remote. Trollilopolis is free; the Party Pass ($4.99/month) unlocks the rest.

One house rule, whatever the hardware

Play out loud. Every game above gets funnier the more the room commits — bid theatrically, defend your trolley decisions, attempt the gibberish with full confidence. The games provide the excuse; the party is the people yelling over them.
