Blather 'Round

Blather ‘Round is a guessing game full of blundering, stumbling, and–yes!– blathering.

## Miscellaneous

### Code Name

BlankyBlank

**Blather 'Round** is the fifth and final game to be revealed for The Jackbox Party Pack 7. In this game, you write sentences to describe pop culture phenomena to your friends, but you never get quiiiiite the right words. If you did, it wouldn’t be a game! It would just be describing things.

## Gameplay

In Blather 'Round, players take turns trying to describe a secret prompt. However, they only have a select few words to choose from and must put them together in a way that describes their prompt to the other players.

As players guess, the presenter can incorporate guesses into their hints as well, and the faster someone guesses, the more points the presenter and guesser will get!

### Prompt and Sentence Making

At the start of each round, the players pick between three choices. One is labeled "easy" and gives fewer points than the other two, and all three can be reshuffled. (If a prompt is not chosen before time runs out, the game will autopick.)

After all prompts are selected, each player gets a choice of several Adjectives and Nouns to choose from to fill sentences like "It's a story about a BLANKY BLANK" and must give their first hint before the rounds start.

### Guessing the Words

A person will be chosen as the Presenter, and they must convey their word(s) using the limited words given. The previously-made first is sent out and the Presenter must give more hints by putting together more sentences to hint players into guessing their word. Presenters can even incorporate other guesses into the hints, such as "It has the same vibe as BLANK" or "It is nothing like BLANK". This continues until time runs out, or the correct answer is made,

During round 2, the points are doubled. At the end of both rounds, the person with the most points wins.

## Credits Song

Word Puttz

the word game with balls

the host of the game, Octoputtz

**Word Puttz** is a single player game for mobile devices.

## Gameplay

On each level, the player is presented with a miniature golf hole, including a tee and a cup; other obstacles may also be present. The objective is to create words using a given set of letter tiles to create a path from the tee to the hole, in the manner of Scrabble. The player is scored based on how few words they use, as well as point values of those letters in the words.

For the most part, a Word Puttz course requires you to "spell" your way to the hole within a certain number of tiles / balls. If you run out of letters before you reach the end of a course, your game is over - though you have the option to buy some more letters for 69p / 99c.

Reaching the hole within your allotted number of letters isn't always easy, however. Word Puttz's putting green is littered with rocks, molluscs, and other objects that keep you from spelling whatever you want wherever you want. Visualising the placement of your letters is vitally important, then.

For one, there are coins you can grab with your word tiles for big point bonuses (a very important item, given you usually need to hit a minimum score to make the hole open up). And there are even secondary holes that warp you to different parts of the course.

Word Puttz has a few quirks. There are, for example, stages in which you "race" Octo as both of you spell your way to the hole, or you attempt to get all the coins on a course before he does. Octo moves super-fast in these contests. And more often than not, with crummy letters. At this stage, need a good vocabulary.

## Ideas before abolition

Jackbox Games writes that it’s hard to believe Word Puttz was only out for a year before we took it out of the market. Sometimes in this industry you put a bunch of work into a game and it just doesn’t catch on.

   What most people probably don’t know is that there is an entire unreleased “manatee” mode in Word Puttz with dozens of very difficult levels… and a freakin’ pirate manatee!

General Manager, Mike, brought in this diorama of game Word Puttz that his daughter made him for Father’s Day.

Was also a note from his son, which said, “Dear Daddy… Thank you for making awesome video games like Fly Swater. Did you know I say I like Minecraft the most, but I really like the video games that you make the most.”

## Trivia

* Like many of the mobile apps created by Jackbox Games: the game has it's very own Twitter!
* **Word Puttz** was originally going to have multiple hosts, like Golfin the Grey. That idea was however scrapped before the game released.
* In the introduction tutorial for Monster Seeking Monster, a portrait of Octoputtz can be seen off to the side¹.
* In The Wheel of Enormous Proportions' SWF files: Word Puttz is used as placeholder text for "Guessing Questions".[↑]
* On Thursday, August 31st, 2017 at 5:42 PM, Owen Watson posted fanart he made for the game in the Jackbox Games Discord Server's fanart channel, with the caption "my very own word puttz fan art".
JackPad

**JackPad** is controller on the phone to play You Don't Know Jack for OUYA.

**The Jackbox Party Pack** is a game created by Jackbox Games, and was the first installment of The Jackbox Party Pack series of party games.

## **Trivia**

* This is the first and currently the only Party Pack to have multiple games that are inherently family-unfriendly. It is also the first and currently the only Party Pack in which all five games are family-unfriendly.
Berkeley Systems

**Berkeley Systems'** best-selling product, the trivia game You Don't Know Jack, was developed by Jellyvision, based on their award-winning children's educational film "The Mind's Treasure Chest". *You Don't Know Jack* brought that program's model of interactive learning, engaging structure and pacing, and host character into the commercial mainstream. It also brought graphics, sound editing, and marketing to Berkeley; production of the show continued at Jellyvision's Chicago studios.

## History

By 1995, the future for *Berkeley Systems* was beginning to look very bleak. Most of the "A list" licenses had been done or the licensors had commissioned work elsewhere. The market for pricey, artistic and highly animated screensavers was cannibalized by cheap slideshow products.

At this point in time, the company's iconic position in the Macintosh culture quite literally saved it. A company called Jellyvision had a prototype of an original game called *You Don't Know Jack*, which they approached Berkeley Systems with. The game was irreverent, quirky, and fun, and if handled even moderately well would be a huge success. The deal was signed, and the rebirth of the company began. With the strength of this deal, the founders were able to swing a "white knight" buyout of the company by Sierra and hence a move fully into the computer game market.

### BeZerk Network

With 250,000 registered users and over 2 million games played in 1997, Berkeley's "You Don't Know Jack The NetShow" (YDKJ) is one of this decade's most talked-about electronic adult diversions.

As an online entertainment network *beZerk*, they made trivia games interactive with the net show You Don't Know Jack.
In late '96 Berkeley decided to put their successful CD-ROM You Don't Know Jack on the Internet.

Playable for free over **The BeZerk Network** (beZerk.com). The games come in three flavors: regular, sports and a Macintosh version, and the player is first required to download a small software client to reside on the hard drive. Up to three people at the same computer can play at the same time against one another to compete for weekly prizes.

The goal of the game is to answer 15 questions as best you can and within the time limit. Twice a week there are fresh questions that are retrieved from the Internet by the YDKJ program, which can be downloaded for free at *beZerk*. Bezerk.com was named Cool Site of the Year last year and won the Webby Award.

Berkeley can afford to host these award-winning games to visitors due to their successful line of YDKJ CD-ROM titles, plus the *BeZerk Network* also contains the first true television-like ads on the Internet, dubbed Interstitials. Every few questions or so, gamers are exposed to these dynamic, full-screen ads, combining audio and fluid animation.
Talking Points

Public speaking can be intimidating but Talking Points makes it fun!

**Talking Points** is the fourth game for The Jackbox Party Pack 7, where speakers are given picture slides they’ve never seen before and words to read out loud that they didn’t write. Giving a speech has never been this weird or this funny, and brings a whole 'nother meaning to "on-the-spot".

## Gameplay

In this game, the players take turns reading short speeches with slides that they have not seen in advance. No prep time, no context. If it's a text slide, you read it out loud. If a picture slide, you say what comes to mind. In addition, players will take turns being the Assistant to a Speaker, and choose the slides sent to the speaker. Everyone watching reacts to each of the speeches in real-time with Reactions.

### Title Creation

Every player fills their blanked prompts with a key point to talk about. They have three to make and three to pick from.

### Presentation

After picking your title, one player presents (Speaker) and another sends them text and photos (Assistant). The Speaker has to read text they are given, and when they see a photo, they just have to say whatever comes to their minds. Everyone else reacts with Thumbs Ups or Thumbs Downs, and the Speaker gets points based on how many reactions they get.

Presentations are structured as follows: **Intro > Text > Photo > Text > Photo > Text > Photo > Closing**

If, during a presentation, every player is at the top of the voting pole and spams the upvote button, the voting pole will extend further up, and will allow players to vote further up. The players will also be pulled back down constantly, and the pole will return to normal if people do not continue voting upwards.

After the presentation, the Speaker gets points for the reactions, and the Assistant gets half the points listed. Other players write their comments, and the next speech begins just like before. This goes until every player gives a speech.

### Awards

After all people present, every player names an award they hand out to the player whose speech they loved the most. These awards give more points to the player in question, and are gifted in an Awards Ceremony.

### Free Play Mode

This mode can be selected manually in place of the standard game, but allows the players to have unlimited time to build and present a speech of their own choosing with text, pictures, and other sorts of strange bits.

## Trivia

* This game involves improv-style public speaking and should not be played by anyone who has glossophobia or speech anxiety. If you have either of these, play at your own risk as enjoyment may vary.
Trektraus

Trektraus chargeant une cible

Le trektraus a été découvert tardivement étant donné qu'il vie dans une zone reculé, dans les territoires enneigés de Kal-han.

## Mode de vie

Le trektraus est généralement solitaire et est omnivore, bien qu'il favorise généralement la viande, il se nourrit de petites créatures comme les Borgtruk qui vivent en groupe, il se nourrit de toute la colonie pour ensuite se diriger vers une autre.

Le trektraus possède une immense corne lui permettant de briser les roches dans lesquels se trouvent parfois des nids de borgtruks.

Elle lui permet aussi de se défaire de ses prédateurs, encore inconnues à ce jour.

## Caractéristiques

Le trektraus possède une peau écailleuse assez étrange et incomprise, en effet, aucune attaque magique ne peut percer cette peau, ce qui rend cette créature presque indestructible, les mages se trouvant inefficaces contre cette créature.
Guesspionage

Guesspionage tests your knowledge of the human condition as you guess how real people responded to basic poll questions like, “What percentage of people have mistaken mannequins for real people?” and “What percentage of adults have played Truth or Dare after turning 30?”

## Miscellaneous

### Code Name

PollPosition

**Guesspionage**  is one of the games featured in The Jackbox Party Pack 3. It's a trivia game of sorts, using answers from surveys to create the questions. The goal for the players is to guess a percentage related to the question they're given.

## Gameplay

The premise of Guesspionage is quite simple: Guess the percentage (From 0% to 100%) of people who answered yes, or no, to a specific survey question. The closer the player is to the correct percentage, the more points they gain. The other players can also guess if the guessed percentage is higher or lower than the true percentage to gain points themselves, even not during their turn. For games with six or less players, this style of gameplay repeats twice, but for games with seven or more players, this only goes for one round.

The final round is a bit different, instead asking the players to choose three answers to a question (out of nine different choices) that they believe were the most popular during the survey. The most popular answers, as you'd expect, gain players the most points. The winner is decided by whoever got the most points when all scores from all of the rounds are added up.

## Reception

Both fans and critics alike often agree that, although a moderately fun game, Guesspionage was the weakest in the Jackbox Party Pack 3. As mentioned in the Destructoid review of the pack as a whole, "The game itself is fun and well-made, but I can't help but feel that more attention was given to the other games in the pack." Although not exactly a fan favorite, it's a popular game choice for streamers due to its easy to understand gameplay and stream-ability.

You Don't Know Jack 5th Dementia

**You Don't Know Jack 5th Dementia** is the thirteenth installment in the *You Don't Know Jack* series and the ninth general knowledge edition. It is the first game in the series to feature online functionality. It was originally released on October 31, 2000 and is hosted by Schmitty.

Unlike other classic-era entries, there is no Steam re-release for *5th Dementia*. As a result, this game is not playable on Windows 7 or later without a virtual machine or another type of compatibility layer.

## Features & Question Types

You Don't Know Jack: 5th Dementia contains more than 600 new questions, presented in a similar style to previous games in the series with the same quick and caustic wit.

Similar to *Headrush*, once all players have entered they name they then select an "alter-ego" to represent them visually in-game. These alter-ego's are initially hidden; all players get is a short albeit vague description as to who or what that "alter-ego" will look like. Once this process has been completed, the game begins.

Also similar to *The Ride*, players buzz in to select a monetary value for the question. In games with more than one player, everyone's chosen value is added together and that becomes the money on offer. If a player doesn't buzz in after a while, the value will default to $0.

This version is the only one with the question type Bug Out. For each of the 7 stages, a group is given (e.g. “Brady Bunch kids”). Bugs crawl across the screen, bearing an option each (e.g. “Marcia”, “Jan”, “Greg”). Players must buzz in when they see a bug bearing an option that doesn't fit the group (e.g. “Carol”, who was the mom, not one of the kids). The prize for the first six stages start out at $100 and increase in $100 increments, while the final seventh stage is worth the value chosen before the question. In multiplayer games, Bug Out is zero-sum; the winnings for a correct answer are taken from the other players, and the penalties for a wrong answer are given to the other players.

5th Dementia came out with online multiplayer capabilities. It seems to have had a chat option, but the online servers have been shut down, and no mods have been developed to bring the game back online.

FixyText

**FixyText** is the second game announced for The Jackbox Party Pack 10. This game involves a chat-typing rampage where players are required to type in something into a single text box for a short amount of time together. The player whose words create the biggest waves, lands the biggest laughs, gets the most votes - wins!

First, you decide on one of four conversation types: Flirty, Serious Business, Friends & Fam, or Unknown Number. This sets which chat partners and requests are sent your way. Then, groups of players will take turns writing and voting on replies to some of the chat their phones!

When the timer starts, everyone in your group will jump into the same text field and start writing. Get in each other's way, change each other’s words, and get the most votes from other players by making your words stand out! Oh, and one last thing: You can’t backspace OR delete. So everything you type will stay that way FOREVER!

Extra features include:

* Collab bonuses for working on the same word
* Wacky suggestions to take your texts to the next level
* Doubling down on your votes
* No-timer mode
* Customizable characters

## Trivia

* The fonts used are Source Code Pro Black, Antikor Mono Regular, Antikor Mono Bold, Antikor Mono Block Bold, Antikor Mono-OutlineDark Bold-OutlineDark, Ohno Blazeface 18 Point, Arial, Times New Roman & IBM Plex Mono Regular.

You Don't Know Jack (Tabletop Version)

**The tabletop version of "You Don't Know Jack"** was released by Tiger Electronics and operates off of four AA batteries. It offers a streamlined gameplay experience with just the basic question format (no Gibberish questions) and only 10 questions per game with values of $1,000, $2,000 or $3,000 with no Jack Attack. It features microchip speech for "wall-to-wall music, sound effects, and verbal abuse (the latter in the form of a wisecracking host)." Two to four players can play. According to the manufacturer's label, "This product contains mature content, including suggestive references and language that may not be suitable for young children."

Hosted by Nate Shapiro (game creator Harry Gottlieb), the game serves as a scorekeeper of dollar values won or lost. The game's hard-coded database tracks questions by code, dollar value, and correct answer. A question's five-digit code is entered using the numbered player buzzers, the question is read aloud by a player, and a sliding door reveals four multiple-choice answers. Players can still "Screw" once per game by buzzing in, hitting the large Screw on the console and hitting another player's buzzer to make them answer. The game reveals whether or not players answer correctly and adjusts scores accordingly (however, unlike the CD-ROM game, scores cannot go below $0.). High score after ten questions wins.

Includes 125 question cards with 500 total general knowledge questions. At least two expansions were released a TV Pack and a Movies Pack each adding 113 cards with 450 (TV) or 452 (Movies) additional questions in the set's given subject. (More expansion sets may have been planned, but were not released.)
Lie Swatter (Mobile App)

the trivia game where you can't swat the truth

**Lie Swatter** is mobile platforms in the Apple App Store and is another product from Jackbox Games.

The free game is a multiplayer trivia game which asks you to separate strange fiction from stranger facts like “Christmas trees kill an average of 13 people per year.” Each blurb of information comes on a bug and it’s up to the player to decide to swat the lies. Opponents can be found through Facebook connect, email, username or random opponents. Games could be played against Facebook friends, Game Center friends or just random opponents, and basically pass turns back and forth, each trying to swat more lies than your opponent. Games are three rounds of seven statements each. Game rules takes place in the same way as in Lie Swatter. It was discontinued at an unknown date and is not playable on Apple devices with IOS 11 or later

“Lie Swatter is the further evolution, or devolution, of our brand of twisted trivia, and another chance to prove to your friends that they’re dumber than you are. Plus you get to squish bugs. Deceitful, lying bugs.” said Mike Bilder, General Manager of Jellyvision Games. “We’ve built Lie Swatter from the ground up as a quick, turn–based mobile gaming experience that we think both YDKJ fans and insectophobes alike will love.”

## Trivia

* Like many of the other mobile apps made by Jackbox Games: the game has it's very own twitter!
Just Draw A Penis

**Just Draw A Penis** is not a real game for The Jackbox Party Pack 6 announced in Hard-Drive website. Arnie Niekamp explained that gameplay involves players drawing and then presenting their digital dongs to each other, at which point they then rank them based on realism, veininess and creativity.

Arnie Niekamp and Julia Stephens got "research" saying that the most commonly chosen Fibbage prompts were phallic in nature, with ‘Penis Boner’ occurring most often. They were also able to determine that there are twelve ‘Johnsons’ drawn in every Drawful game.

> *"Granted, the prompts are suggestive, like ‘Aerodynamic Man In A Football Helmet’ or ‘Dachshund Wrapped In A Blanket With A Nose Cold’, but the data is clear — our hardcore fans want to spend hours bonding with their friends over various cock-related games."* according to developer Julia Stephens.

Hypnotorious

**Hypnotorious** is the fourth game announced for The Jackbox Party Pack 10. It’s a game where you and your fellow players take part in a virtual stage show where our host, a mysterious hypnotist, mesmerizes you, then gives you a character to play.

Each player will be keeping their characters somewhat secret because the game is all about deducing each other’s identities. The characters all fit into one of three, secret categories. The categories might be as simple as “Dogs, Cats or Mice,” or they might be something a bit more challenging like “Popular in the 80s, 90s or 2000s.” It’s up to player to figure it out.

Once players answer their questions, you’ll each try to group up based on perceived similarities. The players that group up accurately, score a lot of points, so talking it out is key.

There is one player who does not fit in at all! They are The Outlier. For each group of categories, one category will only have one player. So, there might be one dog, two cats and three mice. To score big points, player will need to identify the Outlier before it’s too late. And the kicker is, The Outlier doesn’t know they’re The Outlier. They’ll be trying to figure it out like everyone else. So don’t give too much away or you might talk yourself into trouble.

## Trivia

* If the game has only four players, there will be two categories instead of three.
* The game plays very similarly to the French board game "Le Monde est Fou", where players play the role a psychiatrist and crazed patients. Patients pick a card depicting a selection of quirks, and need to respond to questions asked by the psychiatrist with the quirk they selected. The goal of the game for the patients is to stump the psychiatrist, where the psychiatrist's goal is to successfully guess what quirk the patients have.
* Unlike most Jackbox games, players are able to accuse themselves.
* For the duration of a day: the hypnotist took over Jackbox Games' Twitter account, using it to ask readers to answer prompts based on a given character or object; the best response to each prompt would enter that user into a raffle for a Steam code for Pack 10.[↑]
	+ This is the third time a Jackbox character took over Jackbox's Twitter account, the first two times being with Gene and The Wheel.
Everybody Help Grandma

**Everybody Help Grandma** is not a real 2020 April Fool's joke second game in The Jackbox Party Pack 6, presented in the Jackbox Games teaser. No screenshots of the game exist, except for the lobby. The game is supposedly about players that earn points by completing mundane tasks for the titular “grandma”.

## Trivia

* The title “Everybody Help Grandma” has been featured in the mock commercials in previous games like You Don't Know Jack 2011.
* *Everybody Help Grandma* eventually became The Devils and the Details, a far more fleshed out version of this game. It was presented as if it were a 2020 April Fool's video, but was instead released on April 2nd.
You Don't Know Jack Sports

**You Don't Know Jack Sports** is a sports themed *You Don't Know Jack* game, making it the first game in the series to be centered on a specific theme and the second to be released overall. It was originally released on September 30th 1996 is hosted by Guy Towers.

## Gameplay

The game functions exactly the same as the original *You Don't Know Jack*; the only difference is that all of the questions are sports themed. Below is the game description of said game.

During the sign-on process, the game will ask you how many people are playing, the names of those playing and how many questions they want to answer - 7 being a short game and 21 being a long game.

Once in the game, players take turns picking categories and then answering questions. Each question is worth a different amount of money: $1000, $2000 or $3000. Players buzz in and then select the answer that they believe is correct (in single-player games, you only need to select an answer). Answering a question correctly will reward you with money amount on offer while getting the question wrong will cost you that amount. Additionally, there is the Gibberish Question category which starts out at $5000, but over time becomes worth less money. Players are shown a nonsense phrase that rhymes with something well known. Players that buzz in and type in the answer that rhymes with the phrase. During Round 2 - i.e. the second half of the game - all values are doubled.

The main charm of You Don't Know Jack - and by extension the series - is the bizarre way in which the questions are asked. For example, instead of asking when a certain event in history took place, it would ask what a celebrity with a name that sounds like a certain event was doing in different years, with the correct answer being the one that contains the year relevant to the namesake event.

An additional feature is the ability to "Screw Your Neighbor." In games with more than one-player, all players are given a 'Screw' at the start of the game which are replenished at the start of Round 2. If a player buzzes in and presses the 'S' key, they can select a player to "screw," thus forcing them to answer the question even if they don't know the answer. However, if the "screwed" player answers the question correctly, then the player that issued the screw ends up losing money instead.

At the end of the game, the final question - known as the Jack Attack - gives players a prompt to which they must match with answers that appear on screen that relate to a clue they were shown at the start of the question. The fastest player to buzz in on the correct answer gets $2000 while those that buzz in on the wrong answer will lose $2000. After this is done a few times, the final scores are shown and the winner is the player with the highest score.

Junktopia

Every strange item has a story.

**Junktopia**  is a joke-driven writing game where you win by building funny backstories for unusual objects, the forth game to be announced for The Jackbox Party Pack 9, revealed on June 24th, 2022.

## Gameplay

In Junktopia, the wizard Nikolas Knackalus has turned all of the players into frogs! (Before you start, you get to choose a cute hat as identification.) He's agreed to poof one of you back to normal IF you can make the most money selling antiques for him. But you'll need to give the object a funny name and backstory; he thinks most of these items have very boring ones by default.

At the beginning of each round, he'll take all of the frogs to a store to shop for an item. Players get a choice of three items, each with their own price ranges. You can choose to buy the item for its price or haggle for a slightly lower price (which may or may not work). Once everyone has their items, they create their funny backstory by giving it a name and two facts.

*The host can turn on Auto-Presentation to let the game present the items automatically, or let the players manually read out the facts themselves with Manual Presentation. (Auto-Present is still an option in Manual Mode, and this can be decided from the lobby.) Manual is recommended for voice-chat calls, while Auto is recommended for streams.*

Once all the players have made their funny item stories, they present them to the party! If the party is 3-5 players, it'll be done in one group, but 6-8 players will have it split in half (3/3. 3/4, and 4/4 respectively). After a party or party group finishes, they appraise the itmes by voting on which items made them laugh the most. For every vote, that player will get $1000 from the other players and $10 per 1% of the audience. The payment total is subtracted from their appraisal and the rest is added to your score!

This goes on for two rounds, and the final third round sees you putting your two items together to form a set, which you name! Once you named your sets, every one of them is presented and voted on. Each vote gets $1000 added to that frog's total, and after the round is over, the winner is declared... and then subsequently turned back into a human!

## Trivia

* Despite the host's very antagonistic behavior towards his players *(doing the wizard equivalent of mutilation and extortion)*, Nikolas Knackalus is *not* considered an antagonistic host by his game like [REDACTED], L'averne Caverne, or The Narrator are for theirs.
* Nikolas' name is a play on the word **knick-knack**, a term used for small, usually worthless objects, usually household ornaments.
