Questions before you build a pack?

BanterBox is a personalised printable party game pack. You share a few details about the guest of honour, and we build proper games around the person and the group.

BanterBox works for hens and bachelorette nights, bucks and bachelor nights, birthdays, farewells, wedding weekends, work events, family gatherings and other celebrations.

Most games work best with a small group or bigger. Bet Your Mate and The Pitch start at 3 players, Majority Rules, Sketchy Business and The Outsider start at 4, and Secret Missions starts at 6.

Names, interests, hobbies, favourite things, habits, inside jokes, stories, places, catchphrases and anything the group would recognise. One good detail helps, and more detail makes the pack feel more personal.

Contributor answers are used to build the games. The organiser can see who contributed, but individual answers stay private and are not shown to the guest of honour as raw submissions.

No. The guest of honour does not see contributor answers or the finished games until the organiser chooses to share or play the pack.

We use AI to help put the games together fast, but every question and card is built from what you actually tell us about the guest of honour. It is not a canned trivia deck.

We keep what you and your group share only to build and let you reprint the pack. We don't sell it or hand it to anyone else. Want it gone? Ask and we'll delete your pack and its data. Full detail in our Privacy policy.

A normal home or office printer and standard A4 or Letter paper. The PDF is laid out for both. The one setting that matters is printing at 100 percent or actual size rather than fit to page, or the cards come out slightly small and the cut lines drift. Print single sided. Colour looks better, but everything is readable in black and white.

Two options. At home, put 200 to 300 gsm cardstock through the manual feed tray, or print on normal paper and glue the sheets to a cereal box before cutting. Either one turns floppy paper into something you can shuffle. If you want it to look properly made, take the PDF to a local print shop on a USB stick and ask for 250 gsm cardstock, single sided, in colour. It's usually a few dollars a page and takes about ten minutes. Laminating is worth it for the score sheets and word grids, which get reused round after round, and a waste of time on the rest.

Scissors work. A guillotine or a craft knife against a steel ruler is faster and gives straighter edges if you're cutting all six games. Budget about ten minutes per game. Cut guidance is printed on the page around the cards and never on the cards themselves, so nothing you cut out has an instruction on it.

Pens or pencils for everyone, and that's mostly it. Chips, answer slips, drawing canvases and score sheets are all printed for you.

Every game's printed pack opens with a 'Before you play' page listing exactly what to grab.

Not yet, and we'd rather say so than pretend. Everything is print and play today. We're building digital rooms so a group can play from their phones with nothing to print or cut, and we're working on personalisation aimed at couples and at larger groups than the current games handle well. Print packs are not going anywhere when that lands, and anything you've already bought keeps working.
