The Jackbox Survey Scramble Channels Family Fortunes With Four Party Games in October

BBG News

As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for party games and a soft spot for quirky humor, I must say the Jackbox Survey Scramble has piqued my interest. With a dash of real-world data and a pinch of friendly competition, this survey-based party game seems like a delightful addition to my gaming collection.

Jackbox Games has unveiled The Jackbox Survey Scramble, a set of four party games modeled after popular quiz shows such as Family Fortunes/Family Feud. These games involve surveys that ask one-word responses from real people and are designed for all players, even families, with a kid-friendly setting.

Its four game modes also change based upon the answers submitted by real players from around the world, including yours, with questions including important stuff like “In one word, what’s the cutest nickname for butts?” or “In one word, what’s the best sandwich topping?” The answers are patooty and cheese, obviously.

Here’s a summary of the four games included in The Jackbox Survey Scramble, as described by Jackbox Games themselves:

  • Hilo: Can you guess the most popular one-word cat names? How about the least? In Hilo, compete to find the most and least popular answers to a wide variety of questions. The rankings may surprise you! It turns out a lot of people named their cat Frank. That’s a freebie.
  • Speed: In the fast-paced Speed, think on your toes to uncover as many answers on the list as possible, as quickly as possible. It’s everyone for themselves in a race against the clock! Each round the points increase, and the stakes get a little higher! Can you handle it?
  • Squares: Two teams compete to claim three squares in a row on the grid. Guess popular choices for the first squares, semi-popular choices for the middle squares, and least popular choices for the final squares. We guarantee, you’ve never had a more heated argument over attractive fictional characters than you will playing Squares!
  • Bounce: In Bounce, two teams control a paddle that sits on a scale between most popular to least popular answers. Work with your team to guess an answer that puts your paddle in the right place to intercept a bouncing ball and stop your opponents from scoring a goal! But be careful! The ball gets faster with each answer!

At the close of October, the Jackbox Survey Scramble is set to arrive on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, PC, and various other platforms. Initially, it will offer four launch game modes, with further modes becoming available as a free update later in the year. Have a look at the trailer below for a sneak peek.
