The Jackbox Party Pack 11: two more games revealed (Legends of Trivia and Hear Say)
After Suspectives and Doominate, Jackbox Games has revealed two more of the 5 games included in the Jackbox Party Pack 11: Legends of Trivia and Hear Say.
Like the name implies, Legends of Trivia is all about trivia. There’s a twist, though: answering questions correctly allows you to defeat monsters!
Here’s a trailer and some details:
Legends of Trivia is a co-op twist on classic trivia, where players work together to conquer challenges and defeat devious monsters with the power of knowledge. Don’t know the answer? No problem; your teammates just might have your back.
Set in a fantasy world filled with magic, mayhem, and the occasional fart joke, Legends of Trivia combines the fun of knowledge games with the teamwork of an RPG. Pick your character, explore enchanted environments, unlock abilities, and collect items such as potions to help your crew survive trivia battles against mystical monsters.
One of the game’s core innovations? Breaking apart the trivia process. Even if you know the answer, you’ll have to rely on your teammates to submit it. Picture yourself yelling “Answer HORSESHOE CRAB!” to a friend with selective hearing… yeah, suddenly your biggest challenge isn’t the trivia, it’s your teammates.
As for Hear Say, it will have you and your friends record voiced lines and sound effects for you to use in video clips. The end result is bound to be eminently… absurb!
Here’s a trailer and some details:
In Hear Say, your voice takes center stage. Players record their own lines and sound effects for bizarre, unseen video clips using just their phones. Once everyone’s audio is stitched together into a surreal final scene, the group votes for the funniest and most fitting soundscape.
The game uses microphone filtering tech to spotlight each player’s voice like they’re in a professional studio, no matter how chaotic the party gets. Add in animations, stock footage mashups, and some of the weirdest prompts Jackbox has ever written, and you’ve got a party game that’s built to be heard and seen.
“The moment you record a silly noise, you’re sharing a part of yourself that isn’t often public,” said Creative Director Alina Constantin. “The final game provides over a hundred different situations to make sounds for, and we’ve paid particular attention to provide opportunities for all kinds of players, especially for those who might not think they can do it, or be funny out loud. This game brings folks to be giddy and raw all together, and has friends who’ve played for a decade delight in new sides of each other.”
Hear Say is designed to be funny in three distinct ways: when you record your sounds, when you hear them echoed back during play, and when they’re woven into an absurd final video.
The Jackbox Party Pack 11 (Switch – eShop) does not have a release date yet, but is slated for a Fall 2025 release in Europe and North America.
