Fibbage is a game in the The Jackbox Party Pack series. Each game supports between 2 to 8 players, with an audience cap that varies depending on which version is being played. Players write lies to a prompt and then need to figure out the truth among everyone else's lies. All versions of the game are hosted by Cookie Masterson.
Game rules[]
Each game is split into three rounds: two normal rounds with several questions, and a final round with only one. Each question begins with one player selecting a category. Every question consists of an unusual fact with a missing word or phrase. Each player makes up a fake answer using their mobile device. Afterwards, the real answer and all of the lies are displayed randomly on-screen. Players must then choose what they think the truth is. Points are awarded to whoever successfully picks the truth, as well as to anybody who fools the other players with their lies.
In the first round, 1000 points are given for finding the true answer, and 500 points are awarded for every person fooled by a particular lie; if a player has the game choose a lie for them using the "Lie for me!" option, they only get half the points. If a player selects a lie provided by the game (usually when a player does not put in a lie), they will lose 500 points. In Round 2, points are doubled (2000 for the truth, 1000 for lies), and in the final round - the Final Fibbage - points are tripled (3000 for the truth, 1500 for lies). The player with the most points after the three rounds wins.
Players may also pick whatever lies they liked after choosing an answer. These "likes" are tallied throughout the game, and the player with the most is given the "Thumbs Cup" at the end of the game.
Should a player input the truth as their lie, the game will not let them submit, deeming the input "too similar to the truth."
Franchise Games & Innovations[]
Fibbage & Fibbage XL[]
Fibbage was released for Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and Amazon Fire in 2014.
Fibbage XL contains all the questions from Fibbage, plus new questions that makes this game 50% bigger than the original Fibbage. Fibbage XL was featured in The Jackbox Party Pack.
Fibbage 2[]
Fibbage 2 was featured in The Jackbox Party Pack 2.
In Fibbage 2, there are new questions such as "Celebrity Quotes of Great Importance," "Diagnosis Huh?" and "Road Trip" that have a specific theming to them. An extra addition is the "De-Fib-Rillator" which is exclusive to this game. It can be used once in a game to remove all but one lie and the truth. An audience of up to 200 can also participate and vote for their favorite lies.
Fibbage 3[]
Fibbage 3 is a game in The Jackbox Party Pack 4. Unlike the other two entries, 3 has a 60's/70's-inspired aesthetic, complete with psychedelic colors, old-timey TV transitions, and player icons of flowers with eyes. In the pack's main menu, the game is represented as a vinyl record.
In Fibbage 3, for the first time the "likes" now provide points with 5 - 15 depending on the round. There are other additional question types included as well. The audience cap has also been expanded to 10,000 and their votes now provide points, and players no longer lose points for choosing game-provided lies.
Audience members can vote on a lie to fill the blank, then can try to guess the truth. The audience collectively gives out 500 points in a round, which is dished out based on what percentage of the audience picked a given lie.
There is a chance you can get a special Fibbage category instead of picking one.

Fibbage: Enough About You[]
Fibbage: Enough About You is a version of Fibbage 3 found in The Jackbox Party Pack 4. It retains the same art style and base gameplay.
In Fibbage: Enough About You, there are two rounds. The first round begins with each player truthfully answering one question. Each question is then posed to the other players, who make up lies and find the truth as usual. Scoring is the same in this round, with the addition of a 1000-point reputation bonus awarded to the question's subject for every person that finds the truth.
The second round has every player write one truth and one lie about themselves. Each pair is then offered to the other players. The player will receive 250 points for every player they fool, while those that find the truth are awarded 500 points.
Fibbage 4[]
 |
Fibbage 4 the second announced game in The Jackbox Party Pack 9. Unlike the three previous parts, it is made in the postmodern style with peculiar abstractions on the background and contains much more soundtracks played during questions. There are now thematic episodes in this game. There are new audience features, and the moderation tools have been updated.
The final round got a change. Now players are given 2 questions containing 2 different answers to which they come up with one lie. Then the players take turns choosing the answer first to the first, then to the second question. The player whose lie was chosen as the answer to both questions will receive an additional 1000 points.
Fibbage 4: Enough About You[]
 |
Several changes were made in Fibbage 4: Enough About You. The game acts as 1 round, however players immediately need to enter the answer to a question truthfully (2 questions when playing a game with 3 or 4 people). The score is shown each time after a player's question. Point giving works the same way: 500 points are awarded for each person that chooses your lie, 1000 when choosing the truth, but there is also a "Reputation Bonus" - if a player entered the correct answer to a player's question, the author of the question gets 1000 points.

Trivia[]
- Before the release of The Jackbox Party Pack, you were able to join a Fibbage 1 game with the site https://fibbage.com/.
- That site doesn't exist anymore, and now redirects to https://jackbox.tv/.
- Fibbage’s gameplay is similar to the board game Balderdash, in that players write decoy answers to trivia questions to trick the other players into picking them.
- In Balderdash, players take turns being the “dasher”, who acts as the host for the round by reading the prompts, collecting written decoy answers, and reading all the options out loud. In Fibbage, it’s all taken care of electronically, so everyone can bluff and answer in every question.
- In Balderdash, players compete to earn a fixed number of points. In Fibbage, players play a fixed number of questions.
- In Fibbage 4, special episodes got added in a patch, one of them is an episode where Cookie Masterson is revealed to have been replaced by an AI. Another has Cookie "locks" himself in his sound booth, while another has him juggle between two dates (the date of his gameshow and his date-date). There's also an episode where he plans a heist to get into his locked car, and another where he gets attacked by bats.
- Binjpipe is also mentioned to be hungry in the AI episode.
- The fonts used in Fibbage XL are Proxima Nova Black, Proxima Nova Black Italic, Proxima Nova Bold, Proxima Nova Bold Italic, Proxima Nova Regular & Proxima Nova Regular Italic.
- In Fibbage 2, the fonts used are Raleway Black, Raleway Black Italic, Raleway Bold, Raleway Bold Italic, Raleway ExtraBold & Raleway ExtraBold Italic.
- In Fibbage 3, the fonts used are Magnel, Raleway ExtraBold & Raleway ExtraBold Italic,
- Anyone with a good ear listening to the voice files for Fibbage 4 may catch on to the weird filtering and delivery on most of the lines, making them appear as if they were generated by AI. A small indicator that the host might not actually be Cookie at all before the patched-in special episode confirms it.
