Evaluation

The Jackbox Survey Scramble launched on October 23, 2024 as a collection of survey-based party games. The store description explicitly states the game is "constantly changing based on answers submitted from players," signaling from day one that this is a living product intended to evolve. On December 13, 2024, the developer shipped a substantial free patch adding two brand-new game modes (Dash and Dares), a wide range of new gameplay settings, new music, and additional survey content. This was a meaningful post-launch content addition, not just a maintenance fix. The developer has not announced that updates to Survey Scramble have concluded. Jackbox Games as a studio remains highly active, with posts on this game's news channel through August 2026 covering multiple other titles in active development (Party Pack 11, Party Pack 12, Trivia Murder Party 3, and My Arms Are Longer Now), confirming the studio is healthy and engaged. No statement has been made indicating Survey Scramble's update cycle is finished, and the game's design — built around a continuously growing pool of real player-submitted answers — means its content evolves passively as well.

About this game

Discover how people across the country think! The Jackbox Survey Scramble is a collection of hilarious survey-based games, using real one-word answers from real people. Really!

Welcome to a new era of party games!

Jackbox has made an all-new party experience! Taking real surveys from real people around the globe, The Jackbox Survey Scramble is constantly changing based on answers submitted from players, including you! Invite your friends, family, coworkers, and enemies to see how they think when it comes to questions like, “In one word, what’s the cutest nickname for butts?” or “In one word, what’s the best sandwich topping?”

Play with your phone or tablet - no special controller required. All game modes supports 2 to 10 players and 10,000 audience members.

All Jackbox Survey Scramble games can be played in English, French, Italian, German, Castilian or Latin American Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese. And we'll be making sure we have localized answers for the UK and Australia, as well. Crikey!

Multiple New Game Modes

Hilo: Can you guess the most popular one-word cat names? How about the least? In Hilo, compete to find the most and least popular answers to a wide variety of questions. The rankings may surprise you! It turns out a lot of people named their cat Frank. That's a freebie.

Speed: In the fast-paced Speed, think on your toes to uncover as many answers on the list as possible, as quickly as possible. It’s everyone for themselves in a race against the clock! Each round the points increase, and the stakes get a little higher! Can you handle it?

Squares: Two teams compete to claim three squares in a row on the grid. Guess popular choices for the first squares, semi-popular choices for the middle squares, and least popular choices for the final squares. We guarantee, you've never had a more heated argument over attractive fictional characters than you will playing Squares.

Bounce: In Bounce, two teams control a paddle that sits on a scale between most popular-to-least popular answers. Work with your team to guess an answer that puts your paddle in the right place to intercept a bouncing ball and stop your opponents from scoring a goal! But be careful! The ball gets faster with each answer!

Dash: The race is on! You’re competing against your fellow players: find the most popular answer in a group of options taken from one of our enormous lists to move ahead. Double down on your choice for more progress (or more punishment), send extra choices to your opponent’s list to slow them down, and tune into public opinion to outpace everyone on your way to the finish line.

Dares: Decide the stakes for fellow players! You control whether a fellow player must guess something higher or lower on the list than what’s just been revealed. Throw them a nearly impossible challenge… but don’t be shocked when they nail it and rake in the points. After you’ve completed a dare, turn around, share the love and dare another player.
