How to Play

PartyBrain has five game modes, each giving the AI a completely different role. Here's how each one works, how scoring works, and tips to win.

Human or MachineAI Role: Undercover Agent

How a Round Works

  1. 1.Everyone sees the same creative prompt (e.g., "Write a haiku about pizza").
  2. 2.All players write their answers. The AI secretly writes 1-2 fake answers too.
  3. 3.In the voting phase, all answers are shown anonymously. Players vote on which ones they think are AI-generated.
  4. 4.Points for fooling others with a human-like answer, and for correctly spotting the AI.

Scoring

Correct AI identification: +100 points. Fooling a voter: +50 points per person fooled. Getting caught as AI bait: -50 points.

Pro Tips

  • →Write like a real person — typos and casual language can help you blend in.
  • →The AI is good at being formal. Look for answers that are 'too perfect'.
  • →With 5+ players, there are 2 AI answers — don't use all your votes on one.
Countdown ClashAI Role: Rival Player

How a Round Works

  1. 1.A trivia question appears with a countdown timer.
  2. 2.Everyone (including AI) races to answer first.
  3. 3.Correct answers score points — faster answers score more via speed bonus.
  4. 4.After all rounds, the player with the most points wins.

Scoring

Correct answer: 100 base points. Speed bonus: up to +100 for fastest. Streak bonuses: 1.5x at 3 streak, 2x at 5 streak.

Pro Tips

  • →Speed matters more than you think — the bonus can double your score.
  • →Don't guess randomly. Wrong answers break your streak multiplier.
  • →The AI is fast but not perfect. It sometimes gets obscure topics wrong.
Pulse CheckAI Role: Prediction Engine

How a Round Works

  1. 1.A opinion question is shown (e.g., "Pineapple on pizza — yes or no?").
  2. 2.Everyone answers honestly — this creates the group's real distribution.
  3. 3.Then everyone (including AI) predicts what percentage of the group picked each option.
  4. 4.The closest predictions to the actual results score the most points.

Scoring

Prediction accuracy: up to 200 points based on closeness to actual distribution. Exact match bonus: +100. AI gets scored the same way.

Pro Tips

  • →Think about WHO is in the room, not just your own opinion.
  • →The AI tries to predict based on general population data — it doesn't know your friends.
  • →Controversial topics are where you can beat the AI by knowing your group.
Quick DrawAI Role: Creative Opponent

How a Round Works

  1. 1.Two players are randomly matched up, and a creative prompt is revealed.
  2. 2.Both players write their best response under a time limit.
  3. 3.The rest of the group votes for their favorite — plus the AI submits its own entry.
  4. 4.Winner of each matchup advances. Tournament-style brackets.

Scoring

Win a matchup: 200 points. Getting voted 'funniest': bonus points. Beating the AI head-to-head: +200 bonus.

Pro Tips

  • →Short and punchy beats long and clever. Voters scan quickly.
  • →The AI is surprisingly good at humor — don't underestimate it.
  • →Play to the room. Inside jokes can win votes if the group gets them.
Flip ItAI Role: Puzzle Master

How a Round Works

  1. 1.The AI generates a word puzzle in real-time (anagrams, word associations, etc.).
  2. 2.All players see the puzzle simultaneously and race to buzz in.
  3. 3.First correct buzz-in wins the round. Wrong buzzes lock you out briefly.
  4. 4.The AI adjusts difficulty based on how fast the group is solving.

Scoring

First correct buzz-in: 150 points. Speed bonus for faster solves. Wrong buzz-in penalty: -50 points and 3-second lockout.

Pro Tips

  • →Don't buzz in unless you're sure — the lockout penalty hurts.
  • →The AI adapts. If everyone is crushing it, puzzles get harder.
  • →Look for common word patterns first before trying exotic answers.
