memepal · founding wave

Meet real humans.
Verified by laughter.

memepal seats you at a small live table of strangers around the world who share your exact sense of humour — for a 25-minute meme-forging game. No bots. No feed. No audience. Every member is verified live, on camera, laughing.

No signup to play. We only ask for an email at the end, and only if you want a founding seat.

The internet is filling up with robots.

Feeds are AI sludge. "People" are bots. Every platform swears it's fighting them while its user counts depend on them. So we went the other way and made humanity structural, not promised:

The call is the captcha

You cannot become a member of memepal without joining one live table and being seen — a real face, laughing, in real time. No bot farm can fake that at scale.

No feed to poison

There is no timeline, no follower count, no algorithm to game. Just small live tables and the pals you take home from them.

Nothing here is stolen

You won't scroll reposted memes — you'll forge your own, live, from templates we own and originals the community creates. Creators get credited, always.

How memepal works

  1. 1

    Play the 2-minute quiz

    Six caption battles reveal your humour DNA — dark, absurdist, deadpan, wholesome, chaotic, or a blend science hasn't named yet.

  2. 2

    Get seated at a table

    We match 5 humans across the world with compatible DNA and a time you all confirmed. One quick on-camera wave check, and the game begins.

  3. 3

    Forge memes. Leave with a pal.

    Timed caption battles, remix rounds, fun awards. Afterwards, quietly send a pal request to anyone at your table — only mutual requests match, so rejection is invisible. Your pal is the prize.

Structure that feels like game rules, not surveillance

Highlight reel, not spy cam

Tables are recorded for moderation — and the funniest 30 seconds become award clips you can choose to share. You consent when you RSVP, and every published clip is opt-in.

Seat tokens

Reserving a seat costs one token; showing up earns it back with interest. Flaking just means waiting longer for your next table. Commitment by economics, not scolding.

Table manners

House rules fit on one card and take 15 seconds to read. Peer awards after each table quietly build reputation — repeated bad vibes route to review without anyone having to snitch.

You write the camera policy

Camera always-on? Voice-first with a one-time wave check? Founding members vote on the rules before launch. Your quiz answers literally shape the policy.

The founding wave is capped at 500 seats worldwide

Small on purpose — tables only work when everyone in the region can actually be scheduled. Founding members get:

The quiz is required — it's how we seat you with your people, and it keeps the bots (and the freebie-hunters) out.

Fair questions

Do I have to show my face?

Once, for a 30-second wave check at your first table — that's what keeps memepal bot-free. Whether cameras stay on after that is the first thing founding members vote on. Tell us your preference in the quiz; we're deciding this with data, not vibes.

Why are tables recorded?

Quality and moderation — and your highlight clips. Recordings are retained briefly, reviewed only when flagged or sampled for quality, and nothing is ever published without your explicit opt-in per clip.

What about meme copyrights?

memepal never ships other people's memes. Every template is either commissioned original art we own or created by members who get credited when their format is promoted to the official library. You make the memes; that's the game.

What does it cost?

Nothing for founding members. No ads, no data resale — ever. Later we may sell premium creative tools, never your attention.

What happens to my email?

Seat updates and your table invitation. No spam, no sharing, unsubscribe anytime. The quiz itself runs entirely in your browser.
