As a seasoned Jackbox Games enthusiast with countless hours spent navigating the witty and engaging trivia-filled world of their digital party games, I must say that The Jackbox Survey Scramble has managed to pique my interest like no other title in recent memory.
Typically, Jackbox Games doesn’t put out two games in a year, but this year is different as they have another game, The Jackbox Survey Scramble, planned following the September release of The Jackbox Naughty Pack. This new game from the Jackbox team takes a slightly unusual path, but by doing so, it seems they’ve found something amusing and entertaining. Shacknews got to test two game modes of this upcoming title before Steam Next Fest this week.
The Jackbox Survey Scramble revolves around questionnaires and their findings. The creators at Jackbox Games have been posing a variety of questions to the gaming community and seem to be gathering responses indefinitely. Based on the game’s mode, players need to discern what opinions are most and least common for any given question.
As a devoted fan, I can’t help but share my excitement about Hilo, the captivating game mode in The Jackbox Survey Scramble! It’s all about guessing the most popular and least popular answers to intriguing questions, but with a unique twist – the answers must be just one word. This might remind you of Family Feud, but the one-word rule sets it apart.
Instead of traditional surveys, this method offers something a bit more entertaining. It’s a spin-off of Tic-Tac-Toe, where players or teams aim to create a line first to win. However, each square is filled with a specific range of survey answers. What adds excitement to this mode is that opponents can snatch a square by guessing an answer within the range that ranks higher in order. For example, if a team selects the #8 answer and claims the top-right square, another team could attempt to steal it by guessing the #6 answer.
One captivating aspect of the surveys utilized in The Jackbox Survey Scramble is their continuous rotation. During game loading or when a crew is awaiting other participants to join before initiating a game, all are invited to participate in the diverse Jackbox surveys. This practice serves to expand the pool of answers. Therefore, should players encounter the same question during subsequent sessions, they may find the order of responses entirely altered, offering a fresh experience. This subtle feature is designed to ensure that The Jackbox Survey Scramble remains engaging, particularly if Jackbox Games plans to add more questions for players in the future.
Experiencing The Jackbox Survey Scramble in action is far more enlightening than just hearing about it. Luckily, you can try it out for yourself during the Steam Next Fest demo, which runs until the end of the event. The game will be released on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Amazon Fire TV, and Apple TV on October 24th.
