About RIPdraft — your Celebrity Death Pool app
RIPdraft is a celebrity death pool platform: private leagues draft public figures, follow the season together, and compete on a clear scoring system. It exists to give friends a structured, transparent game—not to glorify loss, but to remember names, argue good-naturedly about picks, and keep the tradition of the format alive online.
Why we built it
Death pools have been an office and bar-room staple for decades. Most of them run on spreadsheets and group chats. RIPdraft turns that into a real app: live drafts, veto rules where leagues want them, automatic scoring when deaths are confirmed in-season, and a timeline so nobody has to dig through messages to settle a dispute.
What makes a good celebrity death pool
Trust, clear rules, and respect for the subject matter. RIPdraft is built for people who treat the game as dark humor among adults—not cruelty toward real people and families. If that sounds like your group, you're in the right place.
