The Jackbox Survey Scramble is a standalone title released on October 24, 2024.
There was a playable demo on Steam as of October 14, and players would have been able to answer the surveys for the ingame questions. The ingame surveys are all based off of player input, and continue to have their answers changed the more input is placed into it.
Hilo[]
Hilo (pronounced "high-low") is the introductory mode. The group is tasked with guessing the most popular answers, the least popular answers, and are asked which of two unchosen answers rank higher.
Squares[]
Squares splits the group into teams and splits the answers into squares on a 3x3 grid. The two teams, yellow and purple, must guess the placement to claim the squares and win 3-in-a-row. If the opposing team guesses a higher placement than the team who claimed, they can steal the square. If the highest choice in a square is claimed, it is locked in and cannot be stolen. The places are as follows:
| 1-2 | 3-5 | 6-10 |
| 11-15 | 16-20 | 21-30 |
| 31-50 | 51-70 | 71+ |
Speed[]
Speed challenges the players with naming as many items in the current survey as possible in a limited time; each new answer bumps the time back up, and the amount of time available reduces as the round goes on.

Bounce[]
Bounce splits the group into teams and makes them use the placement position of a given answer on the survey as a "paddle" to bounce a ball back. After one team successfully bounces the ball back, the other team immediately starts going. There is a penalty for reusing answers, with the paddle for that answer shrinking, but also a bonus if a new word is used, growing the paddle. If the ball doesn't hit the paddle, a point is given to the other team.

Other[]
- Tour mode allows the group to play Hilo, Squares, Speed, and Bounce back-to-back.
- Pick For Me allows for a selection of the four modes listed.
Trivia[]
- This game officially has a setting for drop-in-drop-out play; any players who leave a round are ejected from the lobby and any who join midgame will be allowed to participate after a round is over.
- Despite this, Dodo Re Mi did the concept of drop-in-drop-out first. Survey Scramble makes it a toggle-able setting.
- This is the third time two new games were released in the same year, with The Jackbox Naughty Pack coming out in 2024; the other two are Jackbox Party Pack 3/Drawful 2 and Jackbox Party Pack 9/Jackbox Party Starter.
