**Tee K.O.** is one of the games featured in The Jackbox Party Pack 3. It's a drawing game, with the main goal to make the funniest t-shirts using designs and slogans that were drawn and written by the other players. It has an upcoming sequel, Tee K.O. 2, for The Jackbox Party Pack 10.

## Gameplay

To begin the first round, each player is asked to draw three t-shirt designs on their device. Unlike most other Jackbox drawing games, there's no exact drawing prompt given (unless the "Suggestion" button is pressed), so players are free to draw anything they wish. After three designs are drawn by everyone playing, the players are then asked to write out t-shirt slogans. Once every player has written at least four slogans, the drawings and slogans are randomly sent out to the other players. Each player has to try and combine the drawings and slogans they were given to create the funniest t-shirt they can.

After all t-shirts are made, each shirt is put up against each other in a gauntlet-style match. Every player must then vote for whichever shirt they like the most. Unlike most Jackbox games, players are able to vote for themselves. Whichever t-shirt gets the most votes wins that round, and moves on to battle against the next shirt. This continues until a winner is decided. There are two winners per round, one for winning the gauntlet and one for having the longest win streak. However, if the gauntlet winner also had the longest win streak, there will be only one winner for that round.

The second round is basically the same as the first, though the players only need to draw one design and write at least two slogans. Unused designs and slogans from the first round will also be recycled and redistributed. The same style gauntlet match repeats with the new shirts, picking two more winners.

The final gauntlet puts the winning t-shirts from the previous rounds against each other to decide who the final winner is. Unlike the previous two rounds, there isn't a win streak winner, and only one t-shirt will remain victorious after this round.

Nekomata
 *"**[Player Name]'**s t-shirt was so popular that top surgeons from the Mayo clinic offered to operate on **[Player Name]'**s sick mother free of charge. Not only did they cure her completely, they gave her bionic thumbs and a Bluetooth spleen. She calls **[Player Name]** for tech support a lot, which is annoying, but mostly worth it."*Namazu
 *"**[Player Name]** asked that we use this part of the game to raise fin rot awareness. Fin rot is characterized by ragged, frayed fin edges in fish. It's usually the result of a bacterial or fungal infection, but i can also be caused by stress! To learn how you can help, visit your local aquarium. And tell 'em **[Player Name]** sent ya!"*Kappa
 *"**[Player Name]** parlayed tournament success into a hit reality show, a highly successful lifestyle brand, and a short-lived singing career in Germany the only thing all that money couldn't buy was happiness. But it could buy a robot butler and a lifetime supply of candy. And that was good enough for **[Player Name]**.*Red Oni
 *"**[Player Name]'**s tournament win was just one in a long series of exciting adventures. Like that time **[Player Name]** rode a dinosaur, the time **[Player Name]** went to Mars, and the time **[Player Name]** met the Harlem Globetrotters! Honestly, winning this tournament was the least interesting thing **[Player Name]** ever did. Oh well."*Futakuchi-onna
 *"**[Player Name]'**s t-shirt was so remarkable that the spirits of t-shirt island granted **[Player Name]** one wish. This was a terrible mistake. Today, **[Player Name]** rules the island as a tyrant, devouring anyone who rebels. But, the school system has actually improved, and the monthly luaus are pretty fun. So it's not all bad."*Onibi
 *"**[Player Name]** went home after the tournament and had a quiet, pleasant evening."*Karasutengu
 *"**[Player Name]** tried to explain that entering the tournament had been an accident. **[Player Name]** had thought the entry form was for a raffle for a free car wash. Regardless, the mayor gave **[Player Name]** the key to the city and made every third Wednesday in November "**[Player Name]** day." **[Player Name]** remains frustrated."*Blue Oni
 *"**[Player Name]** retired from competition to study t-shirt science. Decades later, **[Player Name]** finally succeeded in creating the one, true perfect shirt...only to find that it was an exact copy of the shirt that won this very tournament. **[Player Name]'**s final words were "Well, that was ironic."*Kitsune
 *"**[Player Name]'**s winning shirt opened a lot of doors in Hollywood. Which lead to an executive producer credit on the long-running sitcom "That's my shirt!" Several spinoffs followed. Including "My mother the shirt!", "Friends but with shirts", and the "Shirt time sing-along variety hour." **[Player Name]** is very rich."*Gyokuto
 *"**[Player Name]'**s success resulted in many lucrative endorsements deals. For a while, **[Player Name]** was the official mascot for "Scaly-O's." A breakfast cereal with a lifelike snakeskin texture. The idea failed instantly, but **[Player Name]** had been paid up front, so it all bascially worked out. Also it turned out **[Player Name]** was immortal."*Tanuki
 *"**[Player Name]** donated the licensing rights for the winning t-shirt to the orphanage, saving it from foreclosure. The evil banker was outraged, as he had planned to bulldoze the orphange and build a sadness factory. But after seeing **[Player Name]'**s shirt, he couldn't help but smile. His face froze that way. He is in constant pain."*Inugami
 *"**[Player Name]'**s winning shirt was so incredible that it took weeks for anyone to notice **[Player Name]** was just a regular, non-sapient dog who happened to paw the right buttons on a phone. Even so, **[Player Name]'**s shirt united the world, and **[Player Name]** became the second dog ever to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize."*Uwabami

 *"**[Player Name]** won the tournament, but failed to win the respect of uncle Bill, who was offended by **[Player Name]** refusal to come work at his house-painting company.
 Luckily, **[Player Name]** eventually came to a point of self-acceptance, and was able to love uncle Bill for who he is. Uncle Bill's still a huge jerk though."*Kasa-obake
 *"**[Player Name]** used all the fame and fortune from winning the tournament to open a small sandal shop on Venice Beach. Sometimes, one of the tourists will say "Hey, aren't you the t-shirt guy?" and **[Player Name]** will say, "No. Not anymore. Also i am not a guy. I am an umbrella. Would you like to buy a sandal?"*Baku
 *"**[Player Name]** achieved the life-long dream of winning the tournament. This was great. But now they needed a new dream. Maybe being the world's tallest gardener? Or forming a sled dog team comprised solely of wiener dogs? **[Player Name]** is still taking dream suggestions if you've got any."*Dragon

## Trivia

* The art style for Tee K.O. seems to be inspired by Taiko no Tatsujin, a rhythm game series created by Namco.
* Each player is a species of Yõkai, more specifically a Nekomata, a Baku, a red & blue Oni, a Futakuchi-onna, a Gyokuto, an Inugami, a Kappa, a Karasutengu, a Kasa-obake, a Kitsune, a Namazu, a Nue, an Onibi, a Tanuki and an Uwabami alphabetically.
* Tee K.O. is the second announced game for The Jackbox Party Starter.
* Not only does the game have a downloadable mobile app, but also a fully functioning web app too!
* The game's name is a portmanteau of tee shirt and the boxing term T.K.O..
* Shirtality & **Sleeveless victory** are both references to the Mortal Kombat series.
* The fonts used are Chinese Rocks Cd-Regular, Chinese Rocks Rg Regular, Chinese Rocks Rg-Bold, Chinese Rocks Ft-Regular & Chinese Rocks Xp-Bold.
* There seems to be an error in the game's coding, as Gyokuto's & Uwabami's default victory quote and credits epilogue are the exact same as each other, despite having two different introductory quotes, likely the result of the Jackbox.tv's coding being separate from the game's coding.
