A PUNCHLINE WITH A LITTLE PULL
For communities that take friendly rivalry and terrible jokes equally seriously.
Two anonymous jokes. Your audience decides which way the rope moves. Play two teams, host versus chat, or with comebacks.

THE SETUP
The host sets the scene. Your audience takes it from here.
YOUR AUDIENCE CONTROLLER
This illustrates a blind ballot with two sample jokes from the teams format. In a live round, the reveal shows the result and side 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 side 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 side one rope pull. Your sample vote alone does not decide a winner.
HOW A SHOW RUNS
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.
Pick a format, read the prompt and both anonymous jokes, then open the vote. The rope reveal shows which side earned a pull. Keep the rivalry playful.
Join a side and volunteer for a writing turn, or vote on the anonymous jokes. Writers cannot vote for their own entry. Vote for the joke you like before its side is revealed.
Three ways to play: two chat teams; the streamer versus chat, where you write against the room; or rebuttal, where the writer who lost the vote gets one twenty-second comeback and the room votes on whether it landed. One winning ballot earns one rope pull regardless of margin; a tie does not move it. The first side to win two rope rounds takes the match — at one round each, the next round decides it.
