About
A party game rooted in
Black culture.
Questions that divide the cookout.
Vibe Check™ is the first opinion-based, majority-rules party game built for Black culture — cookouts, kickbacks, family reunions, group chats made real. No app to download. No accounts for players. Same question hits every phone. Pick what the room picks.
Card games need rules. Board games need setup.
Every option for game night has a catch. Spades and Taboo need someone to explain the rules — and someone who never learned them. Board games need components, a table, and teardown; nobody's breaking out Catan at a cookout. Trivia like Kahoot has a right answer, so half the room loses on knowledge, not personality. And none of it was ever built for this room.
No rules to teach
There's nothing to learn. If you have an opinion, you can play — first-timer or veteran, grandparent or Gen Z.
No setup to kill the spontaneity
No components, no board, no install. Open a browser, share a code, and the room is playing in under two minutes.
No wrong answers to lose on
Trivia punishes what you don't know. Vibe Check rewards what you know about your people — reading the room is the whole game.
The room was already there. The game wasn't.
Not trivia. Opinion.
There's no right answer in Vibe Check — only the popular one. Every round, the same question hits every phone. The majority wins. Winners join The Crew and earn points. Stay in the streak, earn bonus points. Fall to The Opps? You've got a comeback mechanic.
Made for the big screen
Cast or mirror the host screen to a TV and the game fills the room. The host runs from a laptop or tablet. Players use their phones as controllers. The TV becomes the shared game board everyone reacts to together.
Players join in seconds
No download. No sign-in. No waiting for someone to find the app. Players open a browser, type a 4-digit code (or scan a QR), pick an alias, and they're in. The barrier to play is as low as it gets.
Works anywhere there's Wi-Fi
Cookout, pregame, family reunion, office party, road trip motel room. Same setup every time. The host controls the pace. Everyone else just plays.
Made for the rooms we're already in.
Every party game on the market is either watered-down for the broadest possible audience or built for a culture that isn't ours. We wanted a game where the questions reference real experiences, real debates, and real culture — not a sanitized version of it. The kind of game where the room immediately feels seen. Where Aunt Linda's potato salad take is on the screen, and the whole cookout has an opinion.
That meant building it from scratch — the question library, the cultural specificity, the mechanics. Majority-rules isn't arbitrary. It mirrors how culture actually works: not what's objectively correct, but what the crowd decides.
Over 600 cards designed to start debates.
Across 18 packs, spanning Music, Movies & TV, History, HBCU, Food & Drink, Sports, Pop Culture, Style, Faith, Family, Relationships and Work & Money — written to expose how you actually see the world. Multi-generational by design: a grandmother and her college-age grandkid can disagree on the same question and both have a great time.
The majority is the answer
You don't win by being right. You win by knowing your crew. Every round reveals who's actually in sync and who's been faking it — and that's where the real conversation starts.
Three question formats
This or That keeps it fast. Pick One adds nuance. Fill in the Blank creates chaos — the host merges similar answers before scores apply, so the reveal is clean.
Plead Your Case
A real comeback mechanic. Stuck losing? Earn a 🎤 card after 3 rounds on The Opps. Call a Plead Your Case moment — 30 seconds to make your case at the table, then the room votes. Built for the cookout's love language: debate.
Sudden Death
Tie at the top when the game ends? The host can call Sudden Death. The tied players are finalists, but the whole room keeps voting — match the majority and you survive, miss it and you're cut. Eliminated finalists stay in as jury. It runs until one Vibe Check Champ is left. The room decides, not the host, because reading the room is still the game.
Roll your alias
When players join, they can type a name or tap 🎲 to roll a culturally-themed alias from a 2,600-combo pool — flank-style emoji on both sides (🍯 Smooth Vibe 📡, 🦊 Foxy Don 🎩, 🪶 Trill Champ 🏆). The lobby fills with a name parade.
Spotlight ceremony at the end
Every game ends with personal badges and spotlight awards. Mic Check (won a plea). Run It (took the most rounds). Oracle (best on fill-in-the-blanks). Screenshot-worthy results that carry the conversation after the game is over — one host, twenty players, forty Stories.
Sample questions
Which movie has more iconic lines? Friday · Coming to America
Erykah Badu or Jill Scott — who actually speaks to your soul?
The greatest Black sitcom of all time is ___ Fresh Prince · A Different World · Living Single

Somebody brought store-bought potato salad to the family reunion. What’s worse?
Set the vibe. Pick your place.
14 themes, each with its own palette and type. Most are cities — Atlanta, Harlem, New Orleans, Houston, Detroit, Chicago, Compton, Memphis, Oakland, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Miami, Washington DC. One is not: Greenwood is Black Wall Street.
Atlanta belongs to everybody. Almost all the rest are earned, not bought — no amount of money skips them. Three ladders run at once: games you host (Greenwood lands on your first), players you've had in the room, and hosts you bring in. Only two can be paid for: your first pack unlocks Harlem, a second unlocks New Orleans, and a Season Pass or Lifetime carries both at once.
Anywhere a group needs to start talking.
House parties, kickbacks, cookouts
The home use case. TV on, phones out, full crowd. Host as often as you like on any plan — we never charge for how often you play, only for what you play.
Birthdays, reunions, weddings
Multi-generational by design — every age group has skin in the game. The host runs the show; everyone else just needs a browser.
Live streams and content
Twitch, YouTube, TikTok Live — share the room code on stream, your viewers join from their phones, the results show live on your screen. Built-in audience participation with no third-party tools.
Corporate, brand, and event activations
Whitelabel-friendly. Brands can run themed sessions from a Custom Pack written for the room. Curated cultural moments instead of generic team-building.
Customize your deck.
Nobody subscribes to a cookout. Vibe Check is sold as a catalogue instead: every host starts with Pregame — 35 cards anybody in the room can answer — and hosts as often as they want, on any plan. We never charge for how often you play. From there you buy packs, once, and own them. They add to your deck rather than replacing it, so Quick Play shuffles across everything you own and a new pack seasons every game you run.

Who plays
Black Gen X, millennials, and Gen Z in the same room — from the cookout host to the college group chat. Corporate culture nights, campus organizations, Black Greek life, church fellowship. Anyone with a phone: no rules, no setup, no prior knowledge required.
Distribution built into the product
The QR code on the host screen means every game markets itself. Personal player cards get screenshotted to Stories after every game. Gameplay clips are inherently shareable (#VibeCheck), and HBCU campus ambassadors plus Black creators carry it further. Jackbox proved the model — Vibe Check is that model built for this audience.
