Blip Party

Blip Party is on Product Hunt

The Blip Party launch card: the headline '60 games, one room code' beside six real game screens — a trivia question, a drawing round, a word grid, a number puzzle, an imposter vote and a hot take.

Blip Party is live on Product Hunt. If you have ever tried to get six people around a table to all install the same app before anyone can play anything, this is the fix: see the launch.

It is 60 party games that run in a browser tab. The host opens a room and reads out a four-letter code; everyone else types it on their own phone. No app store, no download, no account needed to join — the code is the whole setup.

What's actually in it

Sixty games, and they are genuinely different from each other rather than sixty variations on a quiz:

  • Trivia and knowledge — Quiz Hero, plus a pile of guessing and estimation games.
  • Drawing — Doodle Dash and friends, where the wrong guesses are most of the fun.
  • Bluffing and social deduction — Fibber, Imposter, and others where the point is reading the room.
  • Word and speed games — anagrams, chains, races against a shared clock.
  • Puzzles, including a few cooperative ones where the whole table wins or loses together.
A Quiz Hero question on a player's screen: 'Which of these countries has the most time zones?' with four coloured answer tiles, a countdown bar and a 3-in-a-row streak multiplier.
A question in play. The bar across the top is the shared clock — the sooner you lock in, the more a correct answer pays.

How a night actually runs

One person hosts. They pick a game, the room fills up, and everyone plays on the phone already in their hand — so the screen everyone is looking at stays the shared one, and nobody is hunched over a laptop taking turns.

Rounds are short on purpose. You can play one game for five minutes and move on, or leave the room open and work through half a dozen. Party Mix shuffles a set of them together if nobody wants to be the one deciding.

The guesser's view — strokes appear live and the wrong guesses are half the entertainment.

Why it's a browser tab

Because the install is where party games die. Everyone has agreed to play, and then someone is signing into an app store, someone else is out of storage, and by the time it works the moment has passed. A link and four letters is a setup nobody has to be talked through.

Playing is free and always will be. There is no advert, no sign-up wall to join a room, and no scoreboard held hostage behind an account — an account only exists if you want your stats to follow you between devices.

Try it

The fastest way to see whether it works for your group is to open a room and read four letters out loud. If you would rather look first, every game has a written guide explaining how a round runs.

And if you have a minute, the Product Hunt page is the place to leave a comment — what is missing, what you would want to play, what broke.
