A forfeit for whoever the deck points at
Press the button and the deck draws one small task: sing a line, give a toast, imitate a penguin. Everyone laughs, and the next person is up.
Choose a set for a family, for friends or for an office party, mix them, and add forfeits of your own. A forfeit that came up does not come back until the whole deck has been played.
How to play
One phone in the middle of the table.
Pick one or more sets and, if you like, type the players' names.
Press the button: the task appears in big letters, with the name of whoever is up.
Do it, laugh, and press again for the next one.
What is in it
Made for a long evening.
- Three ready sets of 24 forfeits: family, friends and office
- Sets combine, and your own forfeits join them
- Turns that go round the players in order
- No repeats until the whole deck has been played
- Big letters that read from across the table
When it works best
Wherever a group needs a laugh.
A family dinner on New Year's Eve with the children and the grandparents.
A party with friends before the chimes.
An office celebration where a little silliness helps.
How the deck works
Each draw takes a forfeit at random from the chosen sets that has not come up yet, and the page remembers them in this browser.
When every forfeit has been played, the deck shuffles back and starts over, so a long night never runs dry.
Good to know
The tasks are light and family-friendly. Add your own for anything bolder, and skip any that do not suit your group.
The page keeps no list of players or forfeits on a server; they stay in this browser.
Tips
- Mix the family and office sets for a mixed crowd, and delete the forfeits that would not suit your grandparents.
- Add forfeits about your own group: in-jokes and shared memories make the best ones.

Will a forfeit repeat?
Not until every forfeit in your chosen sets has come up once; then the deck starts over.
Can I use my own forfeits?
Yes. Type them one per line and they join the chosen sets.
