Is Peer Party a free alternative to Jackbox?

Yes. Peer Party offers Jackbox-style party games — funny writing and photo-caption games with anonymous voting — but it's completely free, runs in any web browser, and needs no console, TV, app, or purchase. Everyone plays from their own device.

Do I need to download an app or create an account?

No. Peer Party runs entirely in the browser. You just pick a display name and an emoji or photo avatar — no app, no account, no email address.

How many players do I need?

Both games need at least 3 players and have no hard upper limit. They're at their best with 4–10.

Can we play remotely, over a video call?

Yes. Players can be anywhere — same sofa or different continents. Many groups play over a video call: keep the call for chat and reactions, and play on the same device or a second screen.

What devices does it work on?

Any phone, tablet, or computer with a modern web browser. There's nothing to install and games work across iPhone, Android, Mac, and Windows in the same lobby.

What happens if someone joins late or disconnects?

Late joiners are synced into the game in progress automatically. If a connection drops briefly, the game state is re-sent when it recovers.

Is my data stored anywhere?

Gameplay runs peer-to-peer over WebRTC between players, so answers, votes, and photos travel directly between devices rather than being stored on a server. There are no accounts and no sign-up.
