Gaming Call Guide

by Winnie P May 16, 2021

There will be two Jackbox options for Gaming Calls: Trivia Murder Party and Fibbage. It will be up to the Guest's choice on which one to play.

Trivia Murder Party

Game screen will be shared on Zoom – please use a laptop or computer – you will interact with other players and see the game screen on Zoom.
You will need another device (2nd device) – a phone or tablet – to enter in answers for the game.

You will go into your web browser on your phone/tablet and visit “jackbox.tv” to use as a controller.
After the game is created, there will be a “room code” for you to enter to access the game and type in your name on your 2nd device. Please enter in your first name.

Waaaaake Up! It’s time to play Trivia Murder Party, a deadly quiz show where you match wits with a trivia-obsessed killer.
Answer trivia questions correctly in each round or you’ll find yourself on The Killing Floor, where players compete in devious minigames that determine whether they survive another round or become a ghost. But relax, ghosts can still win the game. (The host is evil, but he still cares about balanced game design.)

On your 2nd device, go into your web browser and visit jackbox.tv then type in the room code from the Zoom’s screen share. Please enter in your first name that matches the Zoom call name.
After everyone is in the game, the first person who joined it will click “Everybody’s In.” The moderator will type in chat to ask the person to click it when everyone’s ready.
You will be presented with a question with multiple choice answers on the screen. Use your 2nd device to choose the answer. Below is an example of the Zoom Screen.
The game will reveal the answer and if you answered it incorrectly it may bring your character into a mini game such as picking a chalice to drink from (there is poison in some of them), doing simple math, memorizing patterns, and more.

“Fibbage is the lying, bluffing, fib-till-you-win trivia party game from the makers of YOU DON’T KNOW JACK! Fool your friends with your lies, avoid theirs, and find the (usually outrageous) truth. And get this: your phone or tablet is your controller! “The mayor of Rabbit Hash, Kentucky is a ______.””

If someone picks your lie, you get points. If you choose the truth, you also get points.
