About


During the German lockdown, my flatmates and I had epic karaoke parties among ourselves. But as the monotony set in, we craved something more exciting. That's when the idea of adding challenges to our karaoke sessions was born, and before we knew it, our little lockdown game had evolved into the phenomenon we now proudly call "Karaoke Against Neighborhood."


Some of the OG challenges from our early days are still kicking, while others were sprinkled in by our virtual friend, ChatGPT, adding a whole new level of fun. After putting the game through its paces with friends, I decided to share the joy with everyone. That's right, "Karaoke Against Neighborhood" is now open access! Print it, keep it, and have a blast with your friends.


Inspired by the open-access spirit of Cards Against Humanity, I've even left some blank cards for those who want to get creative and tailor the game to their unique vibes. So, what are you waiting for? Grab a mic, invite your pals, and let the karaoke madness begin! 🎤🎉 Have a blast! 😄



Karaoke Against Neighborhood Rules:


  1. Setup:
    • Set up a karaoke area with a microphone, speakers, and a screen for lyrics.
    • Choose a karaoke platform, such as YouTube or a dedicated app like Karafun, for song selection.
    • Shuffle all the "Challenge," "Game," and "Game Round" cards into one combined deck.
    • Distribute an equal number of cards to each participant, starting with a small number (e.g., 5 cards each).
  2. Objective:
    • Have a blast! There are no points to count. The goal is to enjoy the challenges, games, and mini-games while rotating the role of the "Neighborhood Star."
  3. Game Round:
    • Each round consists of one participant being the "Neighborhood Star." This rotates clockwise after each round.
  4. Turn Sequence:
    • On your turn, choose to either draw a card from the combined deck or initiate a mini-game.
    • If you draw a card, it could be a "Challenge," "Game," or "Game Round" card. Perform the challenge, initiate the game, or follow the special rule for the entire round accordingly.
  5. Neighborhood Star:
    • The "Neighborhood Star" is the DJ for the round and has the authority to assign fun penalties for failed challenges, dictate the theme for bonus points in mini-games, and control the overall flow of the game.
    • The "Neighborhood Star" rotates clockwise each round.
  6. Winning the Game:
    • There's no official winner. The game ends whenever participants decide to conclude the "Karaoke Against Neighborhood" event or when everyone has had enough fun.
  7. Shuffle All Cards:
    • Before starting the game and between rounds, shuffle all the "Challenge," "Game," and "Game Round" cards to maintain randomness and surprise in the game.
  8. House Rules:
    • Participants are encouraged to create additional house rules to add more fun and personalization to the game.
    • Feel free to invent new challenges or mini-games to keep the experience fresh.

Big thanks to my former flatmates, Carla and Sabrina, for all our fun with this game. Shoutout to Carla again, and to Alex, Andrea, Joan, Pablo, and Simone for playing the first version of the cards with me. And a special nod to Pablo for hinting at the game's name during this Karaoke night. Appreciate you all!
