Summary
Jackbox Games has given fans their first-ever look atThe Jackbox Survey Scramble.Jackbox Gamestends to have one release every year, though 2024 has been an exception to the rule.
Earlier this summer, Jackbox Games releasedThe Jackbox Mega Picker, which is a hugely convenient release that lets players pick-and-choose the games from the variousJackbox Party Packcollections that they already own without having to open each individual collection. Then,it launchedThe Jackbox Naughty Pack, a collection of three party games with more adult language, humor, and themes than the typicalJackbox Party Packgames. Fans would have been forgiven if they assumed that those two releases would be all for Jackbox Games in 2024, but as it so happens, yet another title is waiting in the wings.
Now Jackbox Games has officially revealedThe Jackbox Survey Scramble, a new collection of games that will be released at some point in late October for $9.99.The Jackbox Survey Scramblewill launch for all the usual platforms, meaning fans can try it out across PC, PlayStation, Switch, Xbox, Amazon Fire TV, andApple TV devices. Players will be able to customize their game through content filters, enjoy a constantly-updated experience, and check out four different game modes whenThe Jackbox Survey Scramblereleases next month.
Jackbox Survey Scramble Games List
The four game modes available inThe Jackbox Survey Scrambleare Hilo, Speed, Squares, and Bounce. Hilo challenges players to guess the most and least popular answers, Speed is about “rapid fire game rounds,” while Squares has players organizing choices in order of popularity. Bounce will let players “scale a variety of answers from most-to-least popular” with the “chance to intercept” opponents' answers. It’s an intriguing concept, and one that Jackbox has explored with some of the party games in its previousParty Packs. For example,Jackbox Party Pack 8’s The Poll Minewas a survey-based game, though it only took into account the opinions of those actively playing the game at that time.
WhereThe Jackbox Survey Scramblediffers is that it will take into account the opinions of everyone playing, which should ensure that the game has a great deal of replay value. Its constantly-updating nature meansThe Jackbox Survey Scrambleshould have more longevity than other games released by the company, though its fun factor has yet to be proven. At the very least, it sounds likeThe Jackbox SurveyScramblewill be great forfans of game showslikeFamily Feud.
Luckily, fans don’t have to wait untilThe Jackbox Survey Scramble’s release date to find out if the game lives up to the expectations set by the previous Jackbox Games titles. It’s been confirmed thatThe Jackbox Survey Scramblewill be playable during theSteam Next Fest event, which ranges from October 14 to October 21, with the Hilo and Square modes available in the demo.
