Jackbox is hard at work to release two ADDITIONAL game modes into the game via a free update coming soon.
The Jackbox Survey Scramble is now available on major digital platforms (including Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo)!
The Jackbox Survey Scramble is a collection of survey-based games using one-word answers from real people around the globe. The game is ever-changing based on how players respond to the surveys as they play. At launch, The Jackbox Survey Scramble contains four different game modes including Hilo, Bounce, Squares and Speed. You can learn more about these launch modes here.
But wait… the fun continues! Jackbox is hard at work to release two ADDITIONAL game modes into the game via a free update coming soon. The modes-in-progress are:
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.
Just like the base game, these additional game modes will be localized in French, Italian, German, Castilian Spanish, Latin American Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese.

Escape the Winter Cold by Visiting a Sun-Drenched Island and Making Friends With the Gods This December
Erie, Pennsylvania (November 14, 2024) — Today, during the Cozy Quest Steam event, Whitethorn Games, publisher of inclusive, accessible, approachable games, and BAFTA-nominated developers, Polygon Treehouse, are thrilled to announce a December 5, 2024 release date for their upcoming exploration friendship adventure Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island. It was also announced that the game would launch on the Nintendo Switch, in addition to PC and Xbox.
As part of the announcement, Polygon Treehouse has released a new trailer, sharing some of the gameplay players can expect from the game at launch.
“Mythwrecked is a game that’s close to our hearts,” said Alex Kanaris-Sotiriou, Creative Director and Lead Developer at Polygon Treehouse. “It’s a game that we’ve worked hard to craft with care and consideration and put a lot of ourselves and the Röki DNA into. It’s super exciting to be finally welcoming folks to the shores of Ambrosia island, and we hope you enjoy your stay.”
In Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island, players take on the role of backpacker Alex, who has found herself stranded on the mysterious shores of Ambrosia Island. As she begins to explore her surroundings, she discovers that she is not alone — the island is populated by the gods of Greek myth and legend! However, something is amiss — the gods are unable to remember who they are. In order to find her way home, she must befriend the inhabitants and help them to restore their memories.
Explore the dynamic island in this non-linear adventure inspired by elements of the Ace Attorney franchise and A Short Hike. Unravel the story of the island and build friendships with the gods through a unique relationship mechanic. The closer you become, the more they are willing to help Alex with their godly powers. Solve the mystery of Ambrosia Island, save the gods, and help Alex find a way back home!
Key Features of Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island include:
Gods Among Us: Many Gods call Ambrosia Island home, from Ares to Athena, Hermes to Hades. Tracking them all down is made easier with the Ambrosidex, though some may be harder to meet than others.
Treasure in the Sandbox: Use the radar signal on the Ambrosidex to hunt for lost godly treasures hidden all over the island! Return them to their rightful owners to help rekindle their memories and learn more about the island’s fate.
Conversational Wizard: Explore the island, examine new objects and locations, and talk to others to unlock new conversation topics. Maybe some Gods know something that will help Alex on her adventure, but some sensitive topics may be off-limits until you have earned their friendship.
Even Gods Need a Friend: Experience a non-linear, emotional story about the importance of friendship, family, and community.
