RiffTrax: The Game is a 2022 multiplayer party game developed and published by Wide Right Interactive.[1] A follow-up to Wide Right's What the Dub?, the game is based on and features the cast members of RiffTrax, an online comedy group whose performers make commentary over bad movies and public domain shorts, inspired by the television show Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Gameplay consists of players writing their own lines of dialogue or riffs (jokes) for movie clips from the RiffTrax library; players can also choose from a selection of riffs written and voiced by the Rifftrax team. After the riff is played back (with players' original riffs rendered using text-to-speech), players then choose which riff is the best. Between two and six players can play in a game, each randomly represented by a silhouette of an infamous character from the Rifftrax library such as Torgo, Mr. B Natural, Coily the Spring Sprite, The Guy from Harlem or Ice Cream Bunny, and up to twelve audience members can watch and vote on the riffs per game.[2]
Release
RiffTrax: The Game was released on May 5, 2022, for macOS, Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.[3]
On August 10, 2023, Wide Right Interactive partnered up with Limited Run Games to create physical copies of the game for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.[4]
