 Mini Infocom Style, September 20, 2023Fun little romp. Manages to feel like a complete game (despite very few rooms) because of it’s lively non-player characters. The puzzles are very well thought out and difficult, but not impossible - they have a certain logic about them and there are very few instances of parser confusion. This is a well crafted little game by a thoughtful, humorous creator. Wish there were more... Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment
One of my favorites, May 31, 2022This cracks me up this game. It's so easy to play and one of my favorites. There's definite replayability. The puzzles are easy and fun. It's also a blast to irritate others in the game! Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

A difficult 4-room parser game set at a cocktail party, August 24, 2019This game took 4th in the Jay is Games Casual Gameplay Competition #7, a competition which produced more good games than just about any other competition I've seen outside of IFComp.

Simple general fun, April 29, 2012The premise of the game is well executed: throughout the game you feel like you're being held in place by the sadistic forces of hell as you try and escape. Perhaps the best quality of the game aside from the premise was the puzzle quality. None of the puzzles were overly difficult and as one reviewer mentioned the hardest part was the timing aspect. (Spoiler - click to show)I probably had to spill on the order of 8 drinks before I was able to get the celery secretly hidden away in my purse. The reaction when the Ron see what you've done to his celery is priceless. The game took me longer than I think it would most people (an hour or so), it started to get irritating towards the end with the timing aspects simply because once you know how to solve the puzzle the process of executing it is rather mundane.The story didn't remain strong compelling throughout, the implementation however was spot-on.

Very Funny, March 7, 2012by Mailer Way more funny than Lost Pig. Has a boat-load of great dialogue and very active npcs. Puzzles are fairly fun, but the best thing about Party Foul is interacting with the other party guests. Well written and technically sound, I highly recommend this game.

Fun and funny, September 5, 2011by Deboriole (San Diego, CA) The game starts out rather abruptly with several loud characters and not much direction. Try to leave and you will be 'reminded' of what you need to do in order to get out of there. The characters are a little abrasive and I found that I was feeling sorry for my character counterpart! The puzzles are fun and so is toying with the others at the party. The game became a little tedious after awhile because the other characters got annoying, but if you ask the right people the right questions, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

Party pooper, December 16, 2010by Aintelligence (Canada) We've all been in this situation. Stuck at a dull party trying not to be rude to the hosts or the people around you, with people all around you wanting to tell you their life story. If not, this is a great way to experience the torture with out actually going to a party. Imagine that, right in the comfort of your home! Anyway, this story was really a riot to play because I've personally been in this situation (not quite on the same scale though). The humor level is well maintained, quiet, sneaky, but intelligent.

I became the PC, April 13, 2010by tggdan3 (Michigan) Rarely do I play an IF game and really get the feeling of BEING the PC. Party Foul did this for me. Even being a man, I was put into the POV of the female character as she tries to find a way to leave the party, collect her husband, coat, and casserole dish, without setting the house on fire. (And I really tried to microwave the butter knife, or put it in the toaster to stop the party early!). Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Quirky and endearing, February 16, 2010by Sorrel Party Foul is not so much about solving the puzzles, as it is about keeping them solved. As you try to accomplish the three main tasks in order to leave the cocktail party of doom, you will be constantly swarted by the hostess. You must time your actions accordingly with those of the hostess, so as not to have her undoing everything you've accomplished. That aspect of the game infuriated me to no end, until I realized how to hold off the annoying woman: (Spoiler - click to show)Make a mess that will keep her occupied for a few turns. Once I got around that issue, I found the game to be rather enjoyable. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment
