dissPICable
Snap any object. It wakes up with its own voice and roast-battles you, bar for bar. The crowd votes on their phones.
dissPICable is a party game for pub nights and hack days. Point your phone at anything (a mug, a rubber duck, your mate’s trainer) and it becomes a googly-eyed cut-out character with a name, a personality and a brand-new AI voice that fits it. Then it challenges you to a freestyle roast battle over a live beat.
How it plays
- The laptop is the stage. Everyone scans one QR code (Jackbox-style, works on any Wi-Fi or 4G via a public link).
- Players hold their phone like a mic. It buzzes when it’s your turn and you freestyle back.
- The object listens to what you actually said and fires a comeback that flips your own words back at you.
- The crowd reacts (cheer / fire / laugh / boo) and votes every round on their phones.
- You’re judged out of 100 on Delivery, Rhymes, Comebacks and Wit (60+ beats the object). Silence scores zero. Mild / Spicy / Savage difficulty.
How it’s built
- Gemma 4 (gemma-4-26b-a4b-it via the Gemini API) looks at the photo and invents the character, writes its bars and comebacks, and judges your wit.
- ElevenLabs: Voice Design gives every object its own voice; eleven_v3 raps each bar separately so it lands on the beat; Scribe speech-to-text hears your bars; a generated SFX pack is the crowd.
- MediaPipe (in the browser) cuts the object out of the photo; Tone.js plays live beats.
- Dependency-light Node server, Server-Sent Events + long-poll for phones, Cloudflare quick tunnel for any-network play, host approval for new players.
- Hand-made “Madchester rave zine” UI that scales to any screen, Manc slang roasts and Factory Records nods.
Physical world: your phone becomes real hardware in the game. Its camera captures the object, you hold it like a handheld mic to rap, it vibrates to cue your turn, and every judge’s phone becomes a live voting controller. A real object in the room turns into the opponent.
