Tournament Mode
The meta game. A chain of mini-games picked from PartyRush's 14-game pool. Scores persist across rounds, and one champion is crowned at the end. Pick Mini for a quick session, Big for a normal night, or Grand for a full evening's commitment.
What you're doing
Tournament Mode strings games together. At the start, the host picks the mode (Normal or Savage) and the size (Mini = 3 games, Big = 6, Grand = 10). The app then randomly orders games from the multiplayer pool and walks you through them one at a time. Between games, you see a live leaderboard with everyone's running total. At the end, a podium with confetti.
It solves the "what do we play next?" problem. Decide once, then chain through whatever the app dishes up.
How to play
- Open the app, tap 🏆 Tournament Mode on the hub.
- Choose Single or Multi Device.
- Host picks mode and size. Normal vs Savage affects which prompt pools the games use. Mini/Big/Grand sets the number of games.
- Players join with the room code (Multi Device).
- App runs the chain. Each game's MP launcher kicks in. Between games, a dashboard shows the leaderboard and the next game in queue.
- Final podium. Champion announced with confetti and standings.
Scoring
Tournament aggregates per-player scores across all games. Each individual game scores using its own rules — see each game's page for specifics:
- Imposter games (Word Imposter, Number Imposter, Who's Most Likely): civilians 2 pts per catch, imposters 0-7 pts based on evasion.
- Voting games (Split The Room, Would You Rather, Who's Most Likely To): minority/conformity points, varies 0-6 per round.
- Writing games (Speed Roast, Roast Rap Battle): per-vote scoring with winner bonuses.
- Real-time games (Bomb Game, 5sChallenge, Charades, Reverse Charades): per-action scores.
- Team games (Word Bomb Duel): team scores split among teammates.
The scoring is intentionally uneven so different games create different score swings. Roast Rap Battle pays out big (+3 per win) while Would You Rather pays small (+2 per round at most). This keeps Tournament unpredictable — early leaders can be caught by a single strong round.
Size guide
- Mini · 3 games — 20-30 minutes. Good for "we have one drink left." Great for first-timers to see the format.
- Big · 6 games — 45-60 minutes. The standard. Works for a casual session.
- Grand · 10 games — 90+ minutes. Full evening. Pick when everyone's committed and nobody is leaving early.
Hosting tips
- Pick Savage if everyone consents. The savage prompts make a tournament a roast night. Worth it with the right group.
- Synchronized ads between games. Don't skip — they're the only ad break in the session.
- The host can leave. If you drop, the longest-tenured player auto-becomes host within 30 seconds. Tournament continues.
- Don't quit mid-game. Scores reset on full leave. Mini takes 25 minutes — commit.
When to pick this
Tournament Mode is the right pick when you don't want to decide. Decide on size at the start, then surrender to the random queue. It's also the most "single session" experience in PartyRush — most groups end the night when the podium appears, satisfied. If you want one game, pick a game directly. If you want a night, pick the tournament.
