Banto is the browser-based platform that is reshaping party games with custom prompts, trading, and creator tools. Founded in 2025, we're still fresh, but we're getting better.
What is Banto?
Simple! We're "the only place to party." Or at least we should be. In the past decades, Kahoot dominated the 2010s with their platform, followed by Blooket and Jackbox in the 2020s and the 2030s...Banto. But what makes us so great? Well, take all the best aspects from those platforms, smash them into one, combine customizability with it, then trading (yes, trading), and you get Banto.
Want another analogy? See the board games aisle at Target? Imagine that in your pocket with the ability to change the prompts and also keep shareable stats. And if you're extra bored, you can collect and trade the characters you win after, like Pokemon cards.
Yeah, we're that platform she told you not to worry about. And we'll only get bigger and better.
What Else?
Well, if you haven't gotten the idea yet, let's drive it home a bit more. You can (1) Play, (2) Host, (3) Create, and (4) Trade. Or PHCT! PHCT! PHCT! Not a catchy mnemonic at all, huh?
Play - Enjoy a variety of games with no account required. Zingify (our twist on Quiplash), good ol' Trivia, talentless QuickDraws (like Pictionary), or your worst HotTakes!
Host - Spin up a private lobby through our "Discover" page without an account. Be the host ~~life~~ of the party. Get more subs from your streams. Be the sub your classroom loves.
Create - Build your own rounds, questions, and art prompts right inside the browser. In the future? Expect to make your own games!
Trade - This one's new. A player-powered marketplace where in-game characters and items can be collected and traded just like Pokemon cards.
What We've Got So Far
- Zingify – Sick of nobody thinking you're funny? Prove 'em wrong. We know you can. Drop that prompt, craft that zinger, collect the laughs. Prove those naysayers wrong.
- Trivia – Classic multiple-choice. Fill-in-the blanks coming soon. Impress your peers with obscure facts you know about Star Trek, Spiderman, and Gracie Abrams's latest album.
- QuickDraw – Your art sucks. Let's share how bad it is with your buddies. The one thing you have over Van Gogh is that your art will make people laugh -- and that's more than enough emotion.
- HotTakes – Safe space? Not a safe space? Only one way to find out, folks. Become closer than ever to your friends or risk never hearing from your date again. There is no balance.
Trading and Marketplace
So far in your life, the only platforms you may have heard about with trading and marketplace have been:
Steam, Roblox, your E*Trade account, and Coinbase. Two of those you should take more seriously than the other. Now there's a third one you can add to that list. BANTO!!
Our highly advanced trading and marketplace system has it so that after you win or lose a game, you still earn XP and Bantobux. With those Bantobux, you can unbox characters from Banto Boxes and trade them with your buddies or list them for other Bantonians to buy.
Over time, you may even be able to become a Bantobux billionaire! Or a person with the most valuable Banto characters collected.
BIG VISION: "Roblox for Party Games"
Listen up; when we said we wanted to "get bigger and better," we were not lying. Our endgame is an open game engine that lets anyone craft and publish their own party games on Banto. Kid. Adult. Grandma. Everyone and their mom will be doing it.
How? Simple, we'll provide:
(1) Plug-and-Play Templates for you to have blueprints to create drawing, wordplay, etc. games
(2) Drag-and-Drop Editor for you to never write a single line of "Hello World." But, of course, we know you're smart enough! With Banto, though, you'll be able to tweak visuals, timers, and scoring with a click. Just as easy as Canva.
(3) Revenue Share for you to even earn a cut whenever players buy your game.
When we get there, you'll be able to build a murder-mystery quiz at noon and see it top the Banto charts by dinner, or maybe even see strangers play it on TikTok.
