Jackbox perfected party games. Banto puts the power to make them right in your hands.
Beyond any pre-built experiences
Let's be frank here. We love Jackbox! Jackbox excels at polished, professional party games that guarantee laughs. And they've mastered that formula for a few decades now.
But if you're a creative host who wants more control over what your audience sees. Whether it's inside jokes with your buddies or custom content your audience base will only be familiar with, then Banto's not a Jackbox alternative of any sort.
Banto lets you craft custom rounds. More than that, we're planning to allow you to have the ability to eventually build complete games from scratch! Currently, though, the platform allows you create your prompt sets and question sets.
Right now, with Banto you're basically owning a board game and you also own the company that made it so now you can put whatever things you want in it.
Rewards that'll last beyond that one night
Jackbox games end when the session ends. By the end of it you'll win but no one will remember a week from now. That's great if you're a casual, but we know you're competitive and that your vanity demands absolute permanence. You want to be remembered! Not the things you say during the game of course. But the fact that you won!
Our XP system, character unboxing system, and Bantobux economy mean every game contributes to your growing locker of Banto characters. Sell 'em on the marketplace or trade 'em, we don't mind.
But Jackbox has that nice indie premium polish...
And Banto delivers that quality while being free to everyone! Jackbox requires the host to own $25-$30 party packs. But we say that Duolingo bird was onto something.
Banto works instantly in any browser, on any device--phone, tablet, even your smart fridge (we think)--with no downloads or purchases required. Zero cost to start in this case means you've got absolutely zero barriers to fun.

But what about the future?
Jackbox creates great games, but they're locked into their official titles forever. Banto's vision is "Roblox for Party Games." We want to be an open game engine where anyone can craft and publish their own party games. We're gonna have creativitiy truly be the limit.
