How to Play

The Epic Party Game is a live social game played on a smartphone, tablet, computer, or anything else with a modern browser. Games are played in up to six rounds. A number of players will be eliminated each round until only one winner remains. The goal of each round is to answer as close as you can to the judge(s) for the game. Rounds are scored and ranked independently, so everyone who qualifies for the next round has equal advantage.

Before You Play

You must have a Google account to play. Subscribe to our YouTube channel and create an account here if you have not done so already and log in.

The Host

The game host will be presenting and providing instructions and information to all the players. They will be asking questions and generally moving the game along.

To join a game session, you must be able to see the host. This can be an in-person screen or a live stream online.

Find the host's game session QR code and scan it to access the games.

Waiting...

You will be invited to play a game as soon as the host starts a new one. You may have to wait until the host is ready or the current game is finished. Just enjoy the show until then!

You've accepted the invitation, now what?

Watch the host to gain insight into the coming questions. They will start the game by showing you part of the question. This is your opportunity to consider the judge(s) and how they think about that part of the question.

Your personal device will still be waiting until it is time to answer the question.

Answer!

When the host sends the question to the players, your personal device will have options for you to choose and a shrinking time bar across the top of your screen. You may change your answer as often as you’d like until the timer runs out. Answer accuracy matters the most, but ties will be broken by speed.

At the End of Each Round

Lowest score ranks highest. Think of your score as the distance between your answer and the judges’. The closer your answer is to the judges’ answers, the lower your score will be. If there are multiple judges, you want to answer as close as you can to one of them, not between them like you might think with an arithmetic average.

You will either qualify for the next round or be eliminated based on your rank in the round. Keep playing until someone (maybe even you) wins. There can be only one!
