The least impressive feature on a luxury spaceship.

THE SETUP

The host sets the scene. Your audience takes it from here.

YOUR AUDIENCE CONTROLLER

Which sample joke deserves your vote?

This illustrates a blind ballot with two sample jokes. In a live round, the reveal shows the result and team credit after voting closes. It takes repeated pulls to win a rope round. No team, tally, or rope movement is simulated here.

You picked the cupholder. In the game, a winning ballot earns its joke’s team one rope pull. Your sample vote alone does not decide a winner.

You picked the observation deck. In the game, a winning ballot earns its joke’s team one rope pull. Your sample vote alone does not decide a winner.

THE GAME IN DEVELOPMENT

Here’s how the room gets into it.

Balanced teams rotate one writer each. Blind votes earn one rope pull. Positive ties do not move the rope. First team to win two rounds takes the match.

THE HOST

Set up the moment.

Read the prompt and both anonymous jokes. Open the vote, then let the rope reveal show which team earned a pull. Keep the rivalry playful.

THE AUDIENCE

Make it yours.

Join a balanced team and volunteer for a rotating writing turn, or vote on the anonymous jokes. Writers cannot vote for their own entry. Vote for the joke you like before its team is revealed.

BEFORE YOU START

A little preparation.

One winning ballot earns one rope pull, regardless of the vote margin. A tied ballot does not move it. The first team to win two rope rounds wins the match; a single pull is not a round win.
