About This Game

Funanigans includes 8 different multiplayer party games! Launch the game, create a room, share the screen, and anyone can join and play from a phone, tablet, computer - anything with a web browser that supports WebAssembly!

Your device with a browser is your controller:

Draw! Switch colors and line thickness. Undo, redo, and clear. In some games, someone else will also be drawing on the same canvas!
In some games, you have limited ink for drawing or can only draw a limited number of lines.
View information that other players can't see.
Enter text or numbers, make choices from dropdowns, or check boxes.
Fast reload button - if your screen seems out of date, refreshes faster than the browser reload button.
Automatically rejoins if you refresh the page - no need to re-enter the room code or your name!
Autosave! Each time you draw a line or modify an input, your response is saved. If you need to refresh the page or time runs out, your saved inputs are retained!

All the games include customizable options, such as how many rounds to play and how much time players get to provide input!

In Phonanigans (4+ players), alternate between writing text and making drawings - like Telephone with pictures. Try to figure out which initial text led to which pictures, and then watch the sequences play out!

In FictionaLies (2+ players), try to fill in the blanks of classic literature! You'll see a random excerpt (with 1-3 words blanked out) from one of 53 public domain books. In funny mode, fill the blank(s) in the funniest way you can think of, then vote for the funniest response! In correct mode, fill in something that could fill the blank(s), and get points if you can figure out the right answer or if others think your answer is the real one!

Two players try to draw different prompts on the same canvas in Drawkward (3+ players), and others vote on which prompt fits the drawing better!

In It's a Trap! (3+ players on 1-2 teams), work with your teammates to get through a trap-filled maze when you each have limited information!

Each player gets a chance to be a saboteur in SaboDrawage (3+ players), where you draw on other players' canvases in an attempt to muck with their intentions!

In CoDrawperate (4+ players on 2 teams), work with your teammates to draw one of 9 related prompts while each of you can draw only a limited number of lines!

Everyone picks a secret target number and plays add, subtract, and multiply cards to try to reach it in Tallynanigans (2+ players)!

The nuns are at it again in Shenunigans (2-4 teams of 2+ players each), where one Abbess from each team tries to help teammates identify words by giving clues with either words or drawings!

The games are all really bad except for Phonanigans, which is mediocre, the drawing mechanics are bad and the visuals look like this game was made in the early 90's

This game has potential, but needs some improvements. Can't fully recommend it just yet, but once some updates have been made I would be glad to update this review. There are definitely some good games in here. How to play's need to be updated to be more clear on what you are doing. Every game felt like the first round was learning. More so for those where a group of people are doing something different from the rest. There also seems to be an issue with the games being dropped. Couldn't play phonanigans with 8 people. Kept dropping the entire lobby half way through. Drawing games seem more prone to the entire lobby being dropped and a new room needing to be made. Didn't have any issues with the text games. Really enjoy the music. Like being able to change tracks, and having the ability to kick out people. The game needs some bug fixes and a bit of polish but I think could be a worth while addition to games you can play with friends online when it gets them.

I adore this game! Thank you Eric Peterson for sharing Funanigans with the world. Phonanigans, effectively a free-form version of Telestrations, is worth the price of admission alone. Funanigans operates just like the Jackbox franchise: only the host needs to own the game and every one else joins from their phone and plays for free. A key advantage over Jackbox is the persistent lobby (room code) between games, which offers a smoother experience for host and player alike. The old-school graphics and music might be annoying for some but I honestly found them charming, and reminiscent of old-school websites.

Pros: fun drawing games Cons: the book quotes used in FictionaLies are not family friendly, and the nausea-inducing backgrounds made my family unable to look at the screen long enough to enjoy playing the game. If the devs read this, maybe you should make a static background option for motion sickness-prone people so everyone can actually enjoy your game
