Family game night just got hilariously weird.

Take a Joke is a fill-in-the-blank party game for your living room. Your TV shows a prompt with a blank in it. Everyone answers from their own phone. The cards get read out loud on the big screen, one at a time, and somebody gets crowned. Then it happens again, and it gets worse.

It's the party game with bite — gross, weird, embarrassing, absurd — with no swearing, no sex, and nothing you'd have to explain to a nine-year-old.

THE JOKES ARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN THE ROOM

Everyone types their name when they join, and those names go straight into the deck — in the prompts and in the answers. Pronouns follow along automatically, so every card comes out reading like a real sentence no matter who it lands on.

"I have so many questions about why Bob brought ___ to the funeral."
"... a life-size cardboard cutout of Dana."

That's the whole game in one line: it's funnier when it's about you. The only question is whether you can take it.

GRAB THE REMOTE. GRAB YOUR PHONES.

1. Open Take a Joke on your TV. A QR code appears on screen.
2. Everyone else scans it. Phones become the controllers — no app to install, no account to make, just type a name and you're in.
3. Answer the prompt. Pick the funniest card from your hand, or write your own.
4. Crown a winner. Answers are revealed one at a time on the big screen. The judge picks a favorite — or the whole room votes.

Only the TV needs the app. Everybody else just needs the phone already in their pocket.

FOUR WAYS TO PLAY

Mix and match how you answer with how you win:

• Classic Cards — everyone gets a hand of pre-written answers. Fast, easy, no typing. Best for first-timers and younger players.
• Write Your Own — type your own answers and go completely off-script.
• Judge Decides — one player picks the winner each round, and the role rotates so everyone gets a turn.
• Player Vote — the whole room votes, with a rotating tiebreaker so it stays fair.

Turn on Players Only mode and every single prompt is about somebody at the table.

YOU SET THE LINE

Switch off whole categories before you deal a single card — gross-out humor, bathroom jokes, and more. Game night with grandparents and a six-year-old is a different night than game night with your college roommates, and the deck adjusts to the room.

And in Write Your Own mode, the game filters what players type — so the kid testing the boundaries doesn't get to put it on the TV in front of Grandma.

WHAT YOU GET

• 300+ prompts and 580+ answer cards — dozens of game nights without repeating yourself
• 3 to 8 players, all on their own phones

Free to download and try. The free demo plays with up to 4 players; a one-time purchase unlocks the full game — 8 players, every mode, no limits — for everyone in the house.

Everyone at the table takes a turn being the punchline. Sooner or later, it's yours.
