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 support 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. The Jackbox Survey Scramble Key Features Personalized experience: Customize your game with content filters, streamer settings, or accessibility options. Endless replayability: Every guess everyone submits is sent to a database and inputted back into the game as an answer, so each time you play will be an updated experience. A game for everyone: Multiple family-friendly modes mean that there’s something to enjoy for every type of party game player.

The Loom writes impossible patterns. You break them. Threadbreaker is a precision bullet-hell action roguelite built around a promise procedural games usually break: fresh challenges that stay readable, fair, and worth mastering. Play on iPhone Duo with an adaptive arena, controls, and menus. Changing displays pauses your run so you can adjust your grip and resume the same run. Every 42-room Revision chooses three shifting sectors from five before entering the Prime Line, drawing eight arena looks from a world of twelve. A deterministic Choreography Engine recombines curated attack phrases, enemy roles, arena shells, and guardian phases while preserving gold telegraphs, recovery beats, and real escape lanes. Every run changes. The rules do not. Read the warning. Find the opening. Step through danger. Graze enemy fire to charge Thread. Then Sever stitched bullets and cut your own path through the pattern. Choose one of twelve cosmic Breakers, each built around the same honest collision core. Combine four Frames and six Weapon Cores with thirty upgrade Knots. Discover named synergies. Push a build far enough to transform its Core into a run-defining capstone. Eight enemy archetypes move and attack differently. Six guardians change body, movement, and pattern language across three readable phases. An original reactive score rises with telegraphs, low Integrity, Sever readiness, and guardian transformations. And when the run ends, it becomes something you can study. Run History preserves the build, room scores, damage sources, grazes, biggest Sever, and cause of defeat. Loom Theater recreates the performance in Cinema mode or overlays honest, moment-by-moment Coaching—without changing the recorded result. ALSO INCLUDED • Daily Score with a shared deterministic seed • Guardian Archive rehearsals and Endless Margin • Earn-only Remnants for permanent gameplay breadth, cosmetics, and prestige • Optional one-time Ad-Free and Full Loom purchases; no subscription • Touch and extended-controller support • Story, Standard, Sharp, and Impossible difficulty • Wider lanes, extra Integrity, automatic Sever, reduced effects, high contrast, left-handed controls, and more • Offline-capable core play with graceful network-service fallbacks • A voiced live How to Play demonstration that teaches by showing Fresh should not mean arbitrary. Hard should not mean cheap. Learn the pattern. Find the thread. Break it.
