What the Dub? is a 2021 multiplayer party game developed and published by Wide Right Interactive.[1] It was released on April 8, 2021, to positive reviews.[2][3]

Gameplay

[edit]

Gameplay consists of players writing their own lines of dialogue for clips from public domain[5] B movies, PSAs and industrial films.[6][7] After the line is played back using text-to-speech, the players then choose which line is the best. Between two and six players can play in a game, and up to twelve audience members can watch and vote on the best lines per game.[8][9]
