Quiplash is a party video game developed and published by Jackbox Games on June 30th, 2015.[2]
It is the first Jackbox party game to introduce Audience, Family-Friendly Filter, Extended Timers, and Twitch Log-in. (The latter option was later introduced in an update for the standalone version only.[3])
An expanded version, Quiplash XL, was later released as one of five games featured in The Jackbox Party Pack 2.
Gameplay
Upon joining the lobby, you'll be assigned to one of eight Quip avatars: Cyan, Purple (Cyclops), Red, Orange, Blue, Pink, Green, and Yellow.
In the first two rounds, players are given two prompts on their device, which they'll have to give a funny answer to. Another player will also be given the same prompt.
Once all answers are in, one of the selected prompts is shown on-screen, with the two responses or "quips" popping up. The other players will then pick which one of the two they think is funnier. Once everyone's voted:
- If one player gets more votes than the other, they get a larger percentage of the score in that round. As well as a winner bonus, worth a 10% of the given point pool in said round
- If both players tie, they split the points.
- If a player sweeps all the votes in a game with a significant amount of players, as well as a majority or all of the Audience members, they'll get a Quiplash, which will grant them a large majority or all of the points, plus a 25% bonus.
Once all prompts have been shown, a scoreboard for the round is shown.
The second round works exactly the same as the first, but with different prompts and with double the points.
The third round (also known as The Last Lash), however, will have all of the players write out a quip for one singular prompt. Once all answers are submitted, all of them are then shown on-screen.
All players will then be prompted to select three of their favorite prompts, of which they can choose three separate answers or clump them up together on the same answer. Audience members will also cast three individual votes, of which a majority of the Audience votes received will be given to their respective players. Once all of them are given out, every player will receive a percentage of the 3,000 point pool, showing answers with the least amount of votes first and the most, last.
Once all points are given out, all scores are tallied up and a winner is declared.
