Now available for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. Play Fibbage 4 and other brand new party games in The Jackbox Party Pack 9. Only now, there may be a couple times where the “Really?” is replaced with gasps and laughter. In the end, we’re all very proud to put something totally new into this Jackbox Party Pack while still delivering the shock-inducing Fibbage true facts. Thanks to their hard work, you’ll get to see the movie clips on your big screen, answer the question on your phone and then move to the edge of your seat to watch the reveal play out in front of your entire party. Our engineers and game designers broke new ground by putting video questions into our party games. Thus, they delivered the same jaw-dropping reveal as the fantastical films.īoth content types took a lot of research and careful curating to find our video Fibbage questions, but once we had them, we still had to get them into the game. We got hundreds of entries, and were able to pick the ones that really made us laugh and provided some sort of visual evidence they could share with Fibbage players in the answer clips. We wanted to see if we could reach out and have these people tell their stories themselves. Play Fibbage long enough, and you’ll see many of these facts are about people who do strange things or have odd occurrences happen to them. Our other video question type, Fibbage Fan Facts, features recordings sent to us by the Jackbox players themselves. What words would best sum up the set of images they just saw?Ĭookie’s VHS Vault uses public domain films, movies, shorts, etc. You usually learn something you didn’t expect from playtests and after a few practice games, we found that players also really enjoyed guessing the titles of movies. We wanted clips where people opened a door to show a sentient giant cactus or stepped out of a rocketship dressed like a tinfoil gladiator. What we really wanted was “the reveal.” Something where we could ask a Fibbage style question and the answer could play out in front of the audience. “The villain of this 1950’s eco-thriller turns out to be blank,” “This educational film teaches recycling tips by comparing our planet to blank,” etc. We were looking for the oddest bits of movie trivia we could collect. I, for one, spent weeks going through public domain horror movies, old educational films and nearly forgotten sci-fi “masterpieces.” If the Fibbage team wanted to playtest video questions, we had to start watching some of the most bizarre movies available and editing clips for playtests. This is due to the new tech available to us, and Jackbox team members who step up and build electronic tools to better demonstrate what a game looks like “on its feet.” Lately, our paper tests have gotten a lot more digital. Thus, two new question types were planned: Cookie’s VHS Vault and Fibbage Fan Facts.Īnd when I say planned, I mean we started with the barest bones of an idea: “How about a video question?” Then they needed to be tested to see if they would work and, more importantly, would be fun to play. If seeing is believing, then showing our players the truth in the reveal could pack the punch we’re looking for in Fibbage 4. If you watch a couple of Fibbage live streams, you will find that one of the most common words uttered after the truth reveal is “Really?” So how about a question type where we could answer, “Yeah! Really! … and here’s the video evidence!” The question becomes: How do we locate even more unbelievable true stories, bizarre historical events and truly trivial bits of knowledge, and how do we up the ante? It’s so popular, in fact, fans are constantly asking for a new version with almost every Party Pack. This editorial direction has created one of Jackbox Games’ most iconic trivia/comedy games. That way, the truth blends in with any idea a wild party could come up with. When writing and researching for Fibbage, the goal has always been to find facts that are just as weird, if not weirder, than the joke answers our players submit. The truth is holy water…! Or is it live cats…? Or moldy cheese?* “The world’s first vending machine dispensed _.”
