Reviews
- Quiplash is an extremely fun party game that encourages creativity and humor, making it a hit among friends and family.
- The game is easy to set up and only requires one person to own it, allowing others to join via their devices, which enhances accessibility.
- It offers a wide variety of prompts and allows for a mix of humor styles, making it suitable for different groups and occasions.
- The final round of the game is often considered less engaging and funny compared to the first two rounds, which can impact the overall experience.
- Players need a minimum of three people to enjoy the game fully, and it can become repetitive if played too often without new prompts.
- There is no matchmaking feature for playing with random players, which limits the game's accessibility for those without a group of friends.

The humor in this game is highly dependent on the players, with many reviews highlighting that it can be uproariously funny when played with a group of witty friends. While some found the structured format of jokes less effective, the overall consensus is that the game generates laughter and memorable moments, especially with creative and sometimes crude responses. It is often compared to "Cards Against Humanity," but with a unique twist that allows for more personalized humor, making it a favorite for party settings.
“With funny friends, this could be the funniest night you have had in a long time.”
“This game is downright hilarious with the right group of people.”
“This game is absolutely f*cking hilarious to play with friends.”
“Never before have you been able to see just how many of your friends are unfunny.”
“Only really playable if other people own the game, or if you can see the host's screen, as the option for friends playing for free leaves them out of the loop and with little information, making anything that would be funny painfully unfunny and just downright confusing for others.”
“Really fun for other people, but I'm not funny and don't have any friends, so I play with myself.”

The gameplay of the game is praised for its simplicity and ability to spark creativity and laughter among players, with a straightforward structure that includes a double points round. However, some users feel there is potential for more depth and variety, and the experience can be hindered by the need for a streaming setup when playing on PC. Overall, it offers a fun and engaging experience, especially for larger groups.
“The gameplay is super easy to follow, and my friends and I laughed a ton.”
“This game is just incredible in the sense of gameplay, creativity, and comedy.”
“Funny and quick gameplay.”
“There is some wasted potential - needs more 'meat on the bone' and variety of gameplay.”
“Playing on PC as a participant is a bit tricky to figure out the mechanics at first and definitely requires someone to be streaming the main 'game' window for the best experience when playing with friends.”
“Straightforward and quick gameplay, uses mobile devices as controllers, supports a big audience who can all participate.”
