About the game
Why play Punchline?
Punchline is an online comedy party game built for quick wit rather than perfect writing. Every player answers the same prompt in secret. The responses then face off in anonymous duels, so a joke wins on its own rather than on the popularity of its author.
Players outside each duel vote for the answer that made them laugh more. Winning earns points, while sweeping every eligible vote lands a knockout bonus. Authors are revealed after the vote, creating exactly the kind of accusations and callbacks a good game night needs.
