About Balatro HQ
What this is
Balatro HQ is a fan-made reference and tools site for the poker roguelike Balatro. It pairs interactive tools — a score calculator, a deck builder and a seed reference helper — with lookup databases covering all 150 jokers, 32 vouchers, 52 consumables, card enhancements and the 13 poker hands, plus strategy guides and mod setup notes.
Who it is for
Players hunting strategy, min-maxers hunting exact numbers, and anyone who wants a fast answer to “what does this joker actually do?” without digging through a wiki.
Who makes this
Balatro HQ is built and maintained by one developer, @o98k-ok on GitHub (also @HggEnd on X). It is an independent, closed-source project, not a community wiki. Spot a wrong number or a bug? Tell me on Contact or X and I will fix it.
Where the data comes from
Joker scoring data is translated from the open-source community calculator by EFHIII. Voucher, consumable and enhancement details are cross-checked against the community Balatro Wiki. Sprites are rendered locally from the game’s own atlases. Where a number could be wrong, we prefer to show the formula so you can verify it yourself.
