You and a group of college buddies have decided to crash a frat party. While there, you decide to spruce up the night with a little bit of…”illicit recreation.” As you get higher and higher, the more nonsensical you get. Your friends will vibe check you when they feel that your jokes are getting weak, a sign that you’ve had too much to smoke. In an attempt to prove your sobriety, you fail at an act of validation, making a party foul. This goes on until the night comes to a satisfying end. Are You High? is a card-based game with crazy jokes and even crazier punishments!
My Role: I acted as the producer and one of the gameplay designers on this project. I was in charge of time-lining different versions and art iterations of the game as well as coordinating the introduction of gameplay revisions to designers in multiple different physical locations.
Are You High? is a game meant to get you and your friends rolling on the floor laughing. Each round has a Host that will read out the start of a joke to the rest of the party Guests. The Guests will respond with the best punch line they can think of. Whoever comes up with the worst joke gets Vibe Checked and has to commit a Party Foul in the form of drawing a High or Higher card and taking their punishment. Where things get even more interesting is the Persona system. Players each have a series of traits that they have to act out as they take more and more hits from their (fake) joint. If a player doesn’t live up to the wacky trait they are given, they too will get Vibe Checked! Are You High?’s hilarious gameplay is a great addition to any party!
