This looks fun! Had to open two tabs on my phone to test it before I consider sending it out to others. I often play a “sing a song from a word” game with my sister so it’s cool to see a framework around it.

happy you're into it – hope you enjoy!

(and hopefully this goes without saying, but if there's anything i can do to make it a better experience, please let me know :))

curious how you keep the lyric highlight in sync across players given this is browser audio, not a native client. each phone's audio pipeline has different buffering (bluetooth headphones alone can add 100-200ms of latency depending on the device), so if the highlighted line advances off local playback position rather than a shared server clock, two players on the same "beat" can end up seeing different words highlighted, which matters a lot for a game about lyrical timing. also on iOS safari specifically, an audio element started from one gesture and then paused/resumed later (someone switching tabs to grab a drink) can get stuck needing another user tap to resume playback, which for a fast round based party game would just look like the game silently broke for that person mid round.

I saw a real time multiplayer comedy open mic night game. I felt the premise was just fantastic even if it’s a moderation atom bomb.

That and this are clever ideas.

Comedy Night. It’s on steam. There’s plenty of YouTube videos. Viewer beware, I expect a lot of it to be edgy cringe.

edit, if you don't want to click steam the description says:

About This Game:

Singers, comedians, and entertainers the spotlight is yours. Tell Jokes, sing songs or just kick back, relax and share stories with strangers in the crowd.

Comedy Night is about watching raw and live talent on a virtual stage. If you are a performer see if you have what it takes to captivate an audience of friends and strangers from around the world.

You never know what you are going to get in Comedy Night it's always a new hilarious experience. The bar is always open, come join the party.

LIVE PERFORMANCES

Get up on stage, step up to the Mic and perform to a live audience in user-generated rooms.

Collaborate or go head to head with other singers and comedians in the dual mic rooms. See how long you can stay on stage before being voted off or heckled.

Comedy Night is a great sandbox to try out new material and see how well an audience responds to your performance.

BE PART OF THE AUDIENCE

Be part of the audience and decide which performers stay or go by voting them off the stage. Heckle players or encourage them as they do their best to entertain you. Sometimes the audience can be funnier than the actual acts. Great banter with strangers goes a long way in Comedy Night.

CREATE YOUR AVATAR

Choose the perfect avatar that represents you or a new persona you want the world to see. With a whole bunch of hairstyles, bodies, hats, and glasses, you will be able to create a character that is unique and one that adds spice to your performance.
