![]() Quiplash had a very active three-year run. A year later, Quiplash 2 came out as a part of Jackbox Party Pack 3. It was the result of a 2015 Kickstarter, though about a year after its launch, Quiplash XL came out as a part of Jackbox Party Pack 2. Unlike Fibbage XL, Quiplash debuted as a standalone game. Though if you want to just keep it simple and only play one game, Fibbage XL is there for you. If you want Fibbage, get Jackbox Party Pack 4. While Fibbage XL is a great game - assuredly the best part of the first Jackbox Party Pack - there are two versions of Fibbage that followed it that are better. Fibbage 3 is the pinnacle of the series, especially with the clever Fibbage: Enough About You bonus game as well. But here’s also the other thing with Fibbage: later packs have Fibbage 2 (in Jackbox Party Pack 2) and Fibbage 3 (in Jackbox Party Pack 4). If you desperately wanted the best of the first Jackbox Party Pack, you could just get Fibbage XL and Drawful 2 (which is available separately on Switch). Word Spud and Lie Swatter aren’t memorable. However, if I’m being brutally honest, Fibbage XL is like 50% of why the first pack is great. The new release is $9.99 while the original Jackbox Party Pack is $24.99. I’d venture to say that Fibbage and Quiplash are the best two games in the Jackbox Party Pack era, though they have multiple versions and sequels available.įibbage XL actually was a part of the original Jackbox Party Pack, so even if it is now a standalone release on Switch, it’s already available on the system. Then the answers are put head-to-head against other player’s responses to the same question. Quiplash lets three to eight players come up with amusing answers (or “quips”) to questions. Players get points for tricking players and also points for guessing the correct answer. All players have to come up with a believable lie to try to trick others to pick as the right answer. Anywhere from two to eight players can play and all are given a fun fact or weird bit of trivia with a word or phrase removed. Fibbage is a novel take on a trivia game, sort of. Regardless, the big question with these releases is should you buy them even when there are six other Jackbox Party Packs to choose from on Switch.īut first off, here’s a quick overview of why both games are a lot of fun. As someone who has been playing Jackbox Party Packs since day one, I always forget that some of these games have origins as standalone releases. It’s not that kind of stab.I was admittedly a little surprised when I saw Fibbage XL and Quiplash were coming to Nintendo Switch this week. We’re planning more and more of this in our future games, but for now, we hope our first stab at this feature in Quiplash is a successful first stab, without anyone getting hurt. It’s kind of an “enhanced spectator” role, if you will – you actually affect the outcome of the game. Sure, just watching our games can bring you plenty of laughs, but who wants to just watch when you can participate? That’s the idea behind the Audience. Our goal is to keep making party games that everyone – and maybe someday, literally everyone – can play simply by pulling out their phones. This is a big upgrade for us over our previous games, one of which (Lie Swatter) allowed up to 100 players in the same game. If you have a stream with thousands of viewers, they can all participate – up to 10,000, anyway. If you have a party of 10 people, 2 can be in the Audience, and then they can get in the next game, letting two players swap out to the Audience. Quiplash is played by 3-8 core players, and works with or without an Audience. ![]() “Oui Oui Land” or “Armpithairylvania”? That’s for the players, and Audience, to decide. The player whose answer receives the most votes, wins. Then, the other players AND THE AUDIENCE (if there is one) vote for their favorite answer. Quiplash pits two players’ answers to humorous prompts like “Another name for France” against each other. The Quiplash Audience actually affects the outcome of the game by voting, kind of like on a reality competition show on TV. ![]() Now, while an “audience” usually means a passive group of people who are just “watching,” in Quiplash, it’s different. So with Quiplash, we decided to try to embrace this phenomenon by introducing a new feature we call: the Audience. This has also allowed for a big explosion in streamed games, where people are joining streams of our games and actually participating from afar. While you fire up the game on your PS3 or PS4, players connect to the game using their phones, tablets, or any internet-connected device (even computers) by entering the unique game code into the “” web site. If you’re familiar with our recent games Fibbage and The Jackbox Party Pack, you’ll know that our games do not require controllers.
