Jinxed Game: Rare Answers, Split If You Match

The Jinxed game is a free party trivia game in which the rarest answers score the most, unless a friend typed them too. You play it in a browser at jinxed.party, on a phone or a computer, with nothing to install. The rules below come from that site’s homepage, about page, how-to-play page, and its own Krillion comparison, checked on 14 November 2026.

What is Jinxed?

A round shows a prompt such as “Name a fruit” or “Name a dog breed.” Everyone types as many answers as they can before the clock runs out. Each accepted answer is brewed into a potion. A common answer makes a weak potion. A rare one makes a strong one. If you and another player give the same answer, you are jinxed, and you split its points.

The about page lists the potion values used across the game:

The how-to-play page illustrates those tiers with fruit: Apple as Murky, Mango as Bubbly, Fig as Glowing, Lychee as Enchanted, and Rambutan as Primordial. The round’s best brew also earns a Top Shelf bonus of 500 points. A worked split on that page: Mango worth 2,000, typed by three players, becomes 667 each.

Jinxed is made by one independent developer. It is free to play. An optional shop sells outfits for your cat. The about page says those outfits change nothing about how the game plays. Contact is support@jinxed.party.

There is a separate site, jinxedgame.com, which states that it is an independent solo project and not the multiplayer game at jinxed.party. Scores from that site are not scores from this one.

How do you play the Jinxed game?

You can play in three ways, from the about page.

A room with friends. One player creates a room and shares a four-letter code or a link. Everyone else joins with a nickname. No account is required. The homepage caps a room at 20 players. Late friends can join mid-game. In your own room you can tap I’m done, and the round ends early once everyone has.

Quick Play. You join whoever is already in the public game.

The Daily Brew. Three prompts a day, the same for everyone, played alone. After each one you see how many of the day’s players brewed each of your answers. The comparison page says it keeps a streak, and that a result can come back as “only you.”

The site’s comparison with Krillion says you have 30 seconds to brew every answer you can think of, rather than one answer per prompt. The how-to-play page shows an example room labeled “Round 1 of 5.” Treat the Daily Brew’s three prompts and a room’s five-round example as different modes. Wrong answers cost nothing. Typos and other names for the same thing are accepted. The about page says meanings are never guessed: a wrong idea does not get talked into a point.

Answer lists start from sources such as Wikipedia lists where a list exists, and they are reviewed. They also grow from what players type, so an answer missing last week may count today.

Packs on the how-to-play page are Classics (the default, described as always clean), General (a wider mix for adults), themed packs such as Animals, Food, Geography, Music, and Sports, and All, which includes hard prompts.

Curses are marked beta. Turn them on in the lobby and a jinx may curse you for the rest of the round: tiny text, a hidden timer, a blurry box, an upside-down box, swapped keys, or double keys. They are optional.

Signing in with Google is optional. The privacy policy says you can play everything without an account, and that sign-in keeps your name and cat on every device. Achievements unlock cat pieces in any game with someone else, including bots.

Is there an unlimited mode?

The Daily Brew is once a day. The comparison page then says you can play as many further games as you like, free: alone with bots in Quick Play, or with friends in a room. That is the unlimited play the official site describes. It is not a second copy of the Daily Brew.

Rarest Answer separates the same idea into a shared daily round and a free unlimited mode. Jinxed’s extra games are social or bot-filled. Ours are more prompts of the same solo rare-answer round, with tiers from Common to Legendary. The lists of what this site accepted are under rarest answers.

What helps you score in a room?

Two scores are fighting. A rare valid answer is worth more, and a unique answer is worth more than that same answer split three ways. In a room, the clever pick your friends also know is the one that gets jinxed. Save the shared household name for when you are out of specifics, or skip it. On the Daily Brew there is no split, and the feedback is how many of the day’s players typed what you typed, so uniqueness is measured against the whole day rather than against the people on your sofa.

Read the pack before you start. Classics are the family set. All includes the hard prompts. A prompt you only half understand will eat the clock.

The how to find rare answers guide is about that second, more specific name. Games like Krillion puts Jinxed next to the solo games. Cosmillion is the solo cousin with one answer and 25 seconds. Wonderhop has a rare-answer mode called Abyss and three other goals in the same day.
