Find out more about the brand new Fibbage video questions in The Jackbox Party Pack 9

“The world’s first vending machine dispensed ________.”

The truth is holy water…! Or are they live cats…? Or moldy cheese?*

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. In this way, the truth mixes with any idea that a wild party might come up with.

This editorial direction created one of jackbox games‘ Most Iconic Trivia/Comedy Games. It’s so popular that fans are constantly asking for a new version with almost everyone party pack. Luckily we like to listen to our fans.

So it was time to write Fibbage 4. Time to find more fun facts. The question is: how do we find even more unbelievable true stories, bizarre historical events, and truly trivial ignorances, and how do we up the ante?

If you see a few fibbage Live streams, you’ll find that one of the most uttered words after the truth is revealed is “Really?” So how about a question type where we could answer, “Yeah! For real! … and here is the video proof!”

If seeing is believing, then showing the truth in the revelation could give our players the punch we’re looking for Fibbage 4. Therefore, two new question types were planned: Cookie’s VHS Vault and Fibbage Fan Facts.

And when I say planned, I mean we started with a very simple idea: “How about a video question?” Then they had to be tested to see if they worked and, more importantly, have fun would do. Recently, our paper tests have become much more digital. This is due to the new technology at our disposal and the members of the Jackbox team who are developing electronic tools to better demonstrate what a game looks like ‘on its feet’.

If the fibbage Team wanted to test video questions, we had to look at some of the most bizarre movies available and edit clips for playtests. For example, I’ve spent weeks going through public domain horror films, old educational films, and almost-forgotten sci-fi “masterpieces.”

We were looking for the weirdest movie trivia we could collect. “The villain of this 1950s eco-thriller emerges empty’, ‘This educational film teaches recycling tips by comparing our planet empty

What we really wanted was “the reveal”. Something we could ask fibbage Question of style and the answer could take place in front of the audience. We wanted clips of people opening a door to reveal a sentient giant cactus, or stepping out of a rocket ship dressed like a tinfoil gladiator.

Usually playtests teach you something you didn’t expect, and after a few practice games we found that players really enjoyed guessing movie titles as well. What words would best sum up the pictures you just saw?

Cookie’s VHS vault uses public domain films, films, short films, etc. Our other video question type, Fibbage Fan Facts, contains footage sent to us by the jack box player himself.

To play fibbage long enough and you will see that many of these facts are about people doing strange things or experiencing strange things. We wanted to see if we could reach these people and let them tell their stories for themselves.

We were right. We received hundreds of submissions and were able to choose the ones that really made us laugh and provided some sort of visual evidence to share with fibbage Players in the answer clips. So they delivered the same dazzling revelation as the fantastic movies.

Both content types required a lot of research and careful curating to find our video fibbage Questions, but once we had them, we had yet to bring them into play.

Our engineers and game designers have broken new ground by incorporating video questions into our party games. Thanks to their hard work, you can see the movie clips on your big screen, answer the question on your phone, and then pull yourself to the edge of your seat to watch the reveal in front of your entire group.

In the end we are all very proud to put something completely new into it Jackbox Party Pack while still delivering the shock fibbage correct facts. Only now there may be a few times where the “Really?” is replaced by gasps and laughter.

*The answer is holy water.
