You Wanted More Survey Scramble Settings? We Got Your More Settings Right Here, Pal
It wasn't enough to add two new game modes, DASH and DARES, in the recent update to The Jackbox Survey Scramble. We wanted players to have even more control over their playing style… which led to a copious list (obvs) of ways to adjust gameplay through the Settings menu. Let's dig in!
- Keep Going?: With this setting enabled, players can vote for additional rounds with the same list while playing HILO and DARES. Hit that final round when YOU decide, and not a moment before!
- HILO Point Split: When active, all players entering the same guess during a round will split the bonus for that answer. When disabled, every player receives the full bonus.
- Unlimited Speed: Removes the timer during SPEED, allowing you to reveal as much of the list as you'd like, at your own pace. (This can also be achieved through the game-wide No Timers setting.)
- Scramble Squares*: Displays the answer ranges on the SQUARES game board out of sequence—if you'd like to shake things up from the most popular answers residing in the top left square. (* fun fact: the Survey Scramble development team has this setting enabled permanently and there were heated discussions about making it the default.)
- Squares Three-Strike Guessing: With this enabled, players are limited to three guesses without any progress on the board (when an answer's ranking is too low to steal a square from the opposing team) before their turn is ended.
- Dash Distance: Adjust the number of columns that avatars must travel along on the DASH game track (between 8 and 14) for a speedier or longer game.
- Skip Bounce Intro: When active, the BOUNCE game mode will skip the initial "guessing phase" where players can try a few answers and learn where they fall along the game board, and send players immediately into gameplay.
- Bounce starting speed: Adjusts the beginning speed of the BOUNCE ball, between 1 (very chill) and 10 (what have we done).
- Bounce Paddle Collision Speed: Adjust how much the BOUNCE ball accelerates each time it hits a player paddle, between 10% (reasonable) and 200% (I feel sick).
- Bounce Point Scored Speed Increase: Adjust how much the BOUNCE ball accelerates each time a point is scored, between 1% (you got this) and 50% (my brain is melting).
- Bounce Answer Range: Adjust the range of answers used to create the BOUNCE game board, between small-medium-large. A small range means more high-ranking and intuitive answers throughout the board, while a large range will include a wider selection from the list, including the curious and eccentric answers that sometimes appear near the bottom!
- Got a burning request for Survey Scramble gameplay? Let us know! Many of the customizations above began as user requests, or wishful thinking during a livestream… we love that players have different ways of enjoying Survey Scramble and we hope to support that however possible. Because every strange opinion has a place on the list.
