so my newest idea is to create a custom Quiplash episode for us to play.

what is quiplash? quiplash is the gut-busting battle of wits and wittiness! Just use your phone or tablet (no controllers needed) to answer simple prompts like these:

• Something you’d be surprised to see a donkey do.


• A double rainbow doesn’t have gold at the end of it. Instead, it has ______.


• A better name for France.

There are no rules or correct answers. You just say whatever you want! Your answer will be pitted against another player’s answer in a head-to-head battle. Other players – and even an audience of up to 10,000 people – then vote on their favourite answer. It’s that simple.

And yes, you read that right: while the game is for 3-8 players, it supports up to 10,000 active participants in the Audience, all of whom have the ability to affect the vote! More than 8 people at your party? Nobody has to sit out. Playing on a stream? Your viewers can join in and participate in the game.You’ll know you’re playing Quiplash when you type something like “unicorn farts” on your phone, and it carries you to victory!

How to Write a Quiplash Prompt

Think Ahead: If you can’t think of a good answer to your own prompt, then it’s probably not going to be a very good. Make sure your prompt lends itself to a lot of quick ideas. Your main focus is the set-up. It’s like volleyballQuidditch. Your job is to simply give the Quaffle to the Chaser. Which brings me to…

Know Your Audience: Are you and your friends into an obscure TV show? Then definitely write a prompt about it, but maybe don’t use it when playing with your aunt and uncle (they only set their DVR to record Bones). Definitely use any inside jokes you have with the particular group you’re playing with (e.g. “Why mom won’t let anybody else make the green bean casserole”) but make sure it’s a collective inside joke. If you’re alienating even 1-2 people, the game is a lot less fun.

Specificity is 78.4% of It: Be specific whenever possible. “The title of an erotic movie” is a vague/bad prompt, but “The title of an erotic movie for elephants” is next-level, Nobel Prize in Literature-quality stuff. However, don’t go overboard with your specificity. “The title of a 1940’s erotic film for elephants at the St. Louis Zoo” is way too much info to process. Find the right balance.

Variety is King: Both in regards to structure and types of jokes you’re generating. Don’t just write fill-in-the blanks–mix it up with prompts in the form of questions and statements. Also, don’t set-up people with the same type of joke each time. Puns are great, sure, but also throw in some prompts that direct people to write phrases, questions, objects, etc.

Don’t Overthink It: It’s not rocket surgery. Spend a little bit of time on how you want to frame your idea, but don’t labor over it. After all, it’s supposed to be fun!Now go out there and write some _____ prompts!
