Drunk TaskMaster

A Taskmaster-style party game for game nights. Set up teams, pick challenges off a board, reveal multi-part tasks (sealed with a wax stamp), award points, and watch the live leaderboard. Built as a fast, no-install web app. Everything runs in the browser and persists locally, so you can pause a session mid-party and resume right where you left off.

Features

• Team setup: add, rename, and reorder teams (ships with three presets)
• Task board: nine built-in challenges, marked complete as you go
• Task reveal: multi-part prompts with a wax-seal reveal, plus per-task widgets (e.g. the Dictionary letter board)
• Scoring: per-round point awards with a live, ranked leaderboard drawer
• Built-in timer: countdown or stopwatch for timed tasks
• House rules screen
• Session persistence: saved to localStorage, resume any time

The tasks

Task	Gist
Ach-who?	Be the first to make a nominated teammate genuinely sneeze.
Meet X	Interview a mystery guest, then write and perform a one-minute song about them.
Shades of Silence	Pick a crayon and, with no talking, paint a group masterpiece.
Detective	Crack the hidden secret word.
Dolphins	Guide a banished teammate to a secret task using only "yays" and "boos."
Dictionary.com	Make the longest valid word from two letters in 30 seconds.
Last Word Standing	Rapid-fire word duel; the required word grows a letter with every elimination.
Knot or Not	Tie your team's hands into one knot, then race to solve a puzzle.
Conga Line	Draw a secret image finger-by-finger down a line of backs, telephone-style.

Make it your own

All the game content lives in plain JSON, so you can swap in your own tasks without touching app code. Edit the file, then npm run dev (or refresh) to see changes live.

Tasks live in src/data/tasks.json, which is just an array of objects shaped like this:

{
  "id": "knot",
  "title": "Knot or Not",
  "parts": [
    "Tie all of your team's hands together in the tightest knot you can safely make.",
    "Complete the puzzle. Fastest team wins."
  ]
}

• title is the label shown on the board.
• parts is the prompt itself, revealed one card at a time (step through with the on-screen arrows). Use a single entry for a simple task, or several entries to drip-feed a multi-step task.
• id must be unique. One id is special: a task with "id": "dictionary" also renders the shared letter-board widget.

To add a task, drop a new object in the array. To remove one, delete its object. Teams and their starting scores live in src/data/teams.json, and the house rules in src/data/rules.json, following the same edit-the-JSON-and-refresh pattern.
