About this project

Frankie & Joe are the duo behind The Basement Yard—a comedy show full of chaotic stories, food takes, and ridiculous games. This site borrows that energy and turns it into cozy, couch-friendly party games.

This is a fan-made hub where you can pick a game and play on one shared screen (when supported) or have everyone join on their phones. Some games include scoring; others are quick prompts meant to spark the chaos. No logins required.

Bring snacks, bring chaos, and take turns hosting rounds for max fun.

Why this exists

Game nights get loud fast—exactly the vibe of the show. This site gives you quick, rules-light games you can run from a laptop or TV; phones are optional and supported when the game allows.

Design goals

  • Fast to start · minimal setup
  • One shared screen (when supported) or phone join
  • House-rules friendly
  • Loose, shouty fun encouraged

FAQ

Do I need multiple devices?

Not necessarily. Many games run on one shared screen. Some games also let (or require) players to join on their phones. You can join by room code or scan a QR the host shows.

How do people join a room?

The host creates a room and shares either: (1) the invite link, (2) a short room code, or (3) a QR code you can scan on your phone.

How many players can join?

It depends on the game. Most party games work great with 3–8 players; some support more. The room will tell you if a game has a specific limit.

Is this official?

No. This is a fan-made project inspired by The Basement Yard. It’s not affiliated with Santagato Studios or the hosts.

What devices and browsers are supported?

Any modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) on laptop/desktop works best for hosting. Players can join from iOS/Android phones. For TVs, use AirPlay/Chromecast or plug in via HDMI.

Does it cost money?

No accounts required. If we ever add optional packs or features, we’ll clearly label them—core play stays free.

Can I play in person and on a call?

Yep. In person: use one shared screen or have everyone join on phones. Remote: share your screen on a call and have players join via link/QR from home.

Can I add images or custom prompts?

When a game supports it, you can upload images or use custom text packs. Only use content you own or have permission to use.

What if someone is trolling?

Hosts can remove players and share a new room code if needed. House rules encouraged—keep it fun.

Is my data tracked?

We don’t require logins for core play. Basic, anonymous analytics may be used to improve performance and stability. If we add accounts later, we’ll publish a clear policy.

Why is there delay/lag?

Network conditions vary by device and Wi-Fi. For the smoothest experience, host on a stable connection and keep everyone on the same network when possible.

I found a bug—how do I report it?

Grab a screenshot, note the game, room code (if any), and steps to reproduce, then send it via our feedback link (coming soon). Thanks for helping us improve!
