You did something indefensible. Now talk your way out of it. Each round a fresh disaster; everyone pleads their case to a deeply unimpressed AI; the best excuse scores. Most points walks free.
You no-showed the all-hands you scheduled. The production database is gone and the logs point at you. Each round hands everyone a fresh disaster, and you all plead your case to a deeply unimpressed AI. The best excuse scores; the most points walks free.
No Excuses is a pure comedy-writing game — fast rounds, zero setup, and an AI judge whose withering commentary is the real prize.
It plays with 3 to 14 players and runs about 15 minutes over several quick rounds; everyone writes at once, so it never drags. Like Shark Tank, it's judged by an AI rather than by player vote, which means the funniest excuse wins even if you're playing with a small group or over a video call. Zero prep — pick it, share the code, start pleading.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a writing game like Quiplash?
Same family — everyone writes a short answer to the same prompt — but instead of a player vote, an AI judge scores your excuse and roasts it in the process.
How many players do you need for No Excuses?
Three to 14. Rounds are simultaneous and fast, so it works just as well with four friends as with a big group.
How many players does No Excuses support?
No Excuses plays with 3 to 14 players. Everyone joins from their own phone or laptop browser with a 4-letter room code.
Do I need to download an app or own a console?
No — it runs entirely in the browser. The host starts a room on aipartygames.com, players open the link, and the AI hosts the game.
