What is Fibbage?

FIBBAGE is a PARTY BLUFFING TRIVIA GAME first released in 2014 by JACKBOX GAMES (Chicago, USA), the pioneering studio behind the JACKBOX PARTY PACK series. Fibbage was the FLAGSHIP GAME of THE JACKBOX PARTY PACK (Party Pack 1, 2014) + has since had sequels: FIBBAGE 2 (Party Pack 2, 2015), FIBBAGE 3 (Party Pack 4, 2017), FIBBAGE XL (extended edition, 2015), FIBBAGE ENOUGH ABOUT YOU (Party Pack 6, 2019), + FIBBAGE 4 (Party Pack 9, 2022). GAMEPLAY: 2-8 players use their SMARTPHONE BROWSERS to connect to a shared screen (TV, streaming service, or laptop) at jackbox.tv. Everyone sees a TRIVIA QUESTION with an unusual/obscure fact + a BLANK where a specific detail is missing (e.g. 'In 1998, the World's Largest ____ was constructed in Norway'). Players secretly submit FAKE ANSWERS designed to sound plausible + fool their opponents. Everyone then sees a mix of the TRUE answer + all the fake answers + must GUESS which is the true one. SCORING: Points for correctly identifying the true answer + points for each player who selected YOUR fake answer (dupe others = bonus). GAME LENGTH: 15-30 min per game (3 rounds + final round). BEST AT 5-8 players for maximum fake-answer chaos. HOW IT WORKS: Host runs the game on a laptop/TV/streaming; players connect via smartphone browsers to jackbox.tv + enter a 4-letter game code. No player app install required — just a browser. Works for REMOTE PLAY via screen-sharing on video calls. PART OF JACKBOX ECOSYSTEM: The JACKBOX PARTY PACK series (11 packs as of 2024, each ~$30, containing 5 party games) has become the DOMINANT PARTY GAME PLATFORM for the streaming era. Fibbage is often the FLAGSHIP + most-played game in each pack. Similar Jackbox games: QUIPLASH (write funny answers), DRAWFUL (draw prompts), TRIVIA MURDER PARTY (dark trivia). RECEPTION: Universally praised as one of the BEST DIGITAL PARTY GAMES; ideal for GAME NIGHTS + STREAMING (Twitch streamer favorite for viewer interaction). VARIANTS: FIBBAGE 4 (2022, latest) — refined UI + new question categories; ENOUGH ABOUT YOU version substitutes personal questions ('What is [Player]'s biggest fear?') for public trivia.
