The rules

crash.party is a party. Parties have rules. Most of them are short.

Last updated: 2026-05-20

The four things

If you remember nothing else, remember these.

  1. 1

    Be nice to people.

    Not "tolerate." Nice. The default move is kindness.

  2. 2

    Don't try to make someone else feel bad.

    Winning feels good. Wanting someone else to feel small is a different thing, and it ruins the room.

  3. 3

    Never argue dishonestly.

    If you're wrong, say so. If you don't know, say that too. Trolling-as-a-bit counts as dishonest.

  4. 4

    Put more in than you hope to get out.

    The room is whatever everyone brings. Bring something.

Everything below is a longer version of the four things.

The rules, in detail

Tap a card to open it.

Voice chat slurs, mic spam, mic etiquette

Voice is on by default. The mic is hot. Act like it.

  • No slurs. Doesn't matter who you're "really" aiming at, doesn't matter if it was a joke. Single-strike permanent ban.
  • No targeting another player to make them feel small. Roasting your friends is the game. Picking on the new kid is not.
  • No mic spam, soundboards, screaming, or earrape. If your room is loud, use push-to-talk. If you keep doing it after a "knock it off," you'll get muted for the session.
  • No fake distress. Pretending to be hurt, in danger, or a child to get a reaction. We take this seriously and we don't give second chances on it.
  • No voice changers used to impersonate, deceive, or harass. Funny voice — fine. Funny voice to convince someone you're 12 — not fine.
  • If a minor is in your lobby, raise the bar. 13+ is our floor, not our ceiling. Adults are responsible for the room they're in.

We don't record voice — it's transmitted live between players. See Privacy §2 for the details.

Names, characters, streaming & clips how you show up, what you make of it

Your display name and your character are how the room sees you. The room is everyone else.

  • Names that are slurs, harassment, or impersonation get auto-rejected. If we rename you, we'll tell you why.
  • Don't impersonate staff. Anything with "crash.party," "official," "admin," "moderator" reads as staff and gets you renamed. Persistent attempts get a ban.
  • Character customizations follow the same rules as names. No hate imagery, no NSFW. The party is 13+.
  • Streaming is encouraged. Twitch, YouTube, Discord shares, TikTok clips — go for it. Tag us if you want a chance of getting reshared.
  • Clipping other players' voices is OK in fun contexts. Clipping a stranger to mock or pile on is harassment, even if the clip is "just funny." Use your head.
  • If someone in your lobby asks you not to stream them, stop streaming them. Or kick them, or leave. Don't argue them out of it.
Reporting, consequences & appeals how we step in when something breaks

We'd rather most things never get to us. When they do, here's how it works.

How to report

  • In-game: hit report on the player. Tell us what happened. The more specific, the faster we move.
  • By email: safety@crash.party. Include the lobby, the time, and any names you remember.

The ladder

  • Warning. First-time, minor, easy to fix. Usually that's the end of it.
  • Session mute. Mic-related rule breaks, or being asked to stop and not stopping.
  • Temp ban. 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days, depending. Repeats escalate.
  • Permanent ban. Reserved for slurs, threats of violence, doxxing, targeting minors, fake distress, and cheating that hurts other players. No second chances on these.

Appeals

If you think we got it wrong, reply to the action email with your side. A human reads every appeal. We reverse mistakes. We don't reverse the ones we got right.

Appeals are not a place to relitigate the rules — they're a place to say "this isn't what happened" or "here's context you didn't have."

FAQ

Can my friends and I roast each other?

Yes. That's most of the game. The line is consent — your friends signed up to be roasted, strangers in a public lobby didn't.

Is voice chat recorded?

No. Voice is transmitted between players in your lobby in real time and not stored by us. If we ever change that, we'll update Privacy and tell you before the change. Other players in your lobby can hear you, though, and nothing stops them from recording on their end.

What's the absolute red line?

Slurs, threats of violence, doxxing, targeting minors, fake distress, and cheating that hurts other players. Single-strike permanent bans. We won't argue about it, and we don't take well to "it was a joke."

My kid wants to play. What do I need to know?

13 and up. If they're between 13 and the age of majority where you live, you've signed off on the Terms on their behalf. Play with them the first few times. Voice is on by default — you decide whether they're ready for that.

Can I stream crash.party?

Please do. Tag us. The only rule beyond the rules is: if someone in your lobby asks you not to stream them, stop streaming them.

I was banned and I think you got it wrong.

Reply to the email with your side. A human will read it. If we got it wrong, we'll reverse it and tell you so. If we got it right, we'll tell you that too.

How fast do reports get reviewed?

Time-sensitive ones (slurs, threats, targeting minors) — within hours during waking hours. The rest, within a few days. We're a small team and we read everything.

If something happens

Email safety@crash.party. A human reads it. Tell us what happened, when, and who was there. We'll take it from there.
