One player tells the truth about themselves, everyone else lies. Spot the real answer. Great for remote teams getting to know each other.
Free · Works on any video call
A party game for Zoom, Teams and Discord
Punchy works over any video call. The host shares the game screen, and everyone joins from their own phone or a second browser window, wherever they are.

How to play over a video call
-
1
Start a game
The host opens interrobang.wtf on a computer and starts a game. That window is the big screen.
-
2
Share that window
Share the browser window or tab in your call. Turn on sound sharing if your app offers it, so everyone hears the music and effects.
-
3
Everyone joins
Players scan the QR code on the shared screen, or go to interrobang.wtf and type the 4-letter room code. A phone or a second browser window both work.
Sharing tips by app
Zoom
Click Share Screen, pick the browser window, and tick "Share sound" before you share.
Microsoft Teams
Click Share, pick the window, and turn on "Include sound".
Google Meet
Choose Present, then "A tab", pick the Punchy tab, and keep "Also share tab audio" on.
Discord
Use Share Your Screen in a voice channel and pick the browser window. Sound sharing depends on your system.
Menus change between versions. If you can't find the sound option, the game works fine without it.
What we tested
- The QR code on the shared screen still scans at 720p, 480p and 360p video quality with heavy compression.
- The room code stays readable at 360p, so players can type it in instead.
- The player page works in a normal desktop browser window, not only on phones.
- Players connect over the internet, so they don't need to be on the same network.
Questions
Does everyone need to be in the same place?
No. Punchy runs on the internet, so players can join from anywhere, on any network.
Can someone play without a smartphone?
Yes. Open interrobang.wtf in a second browser window on the computer and enter the room code. The player page works in any browser.
Will the video delay be a problem?
No. Everyone writes and votes on their own device, and every step gives you 25 to 80 seconds, so a couple of seconds of video delay doesn't matter.
Do we need to install anything?
No. Punchy runs in the browser, and there's no account to create. You only need the video call app you already use.
How many people can play?
3 to 8 players, plus an audience of up to 100 who vote along.
Are there other games than Punchy?
Yes. Interrobang (interrobang.wtf) also has Bluff?, where one player tells the truth and everyone else lies, and Gotcha*, where everyone answers anonymously and guesses who wrote what. Both work over a video call the same way.
More games for your video call
Punchy is part of Interrobang, with three more free party games that work the same way over Zoom, Teams or Discord.
