Jackbox Games has revealed the first of the upcoming games from within The Jackbox Party Pack 11, and it’s called Suspectives.
The team says that: “Suspectives is a detective-themed social deduction game where players work together to uncover the secret criminal hiding among them. The only clues left behind? Facts that players share about themselves.”
Check out the trailer below:
“Suspectives leans into that moment of questioning a fellow player, seeing if they start to sweat when placed alongside the evidence,” said game director Tim Sniffen. “On the surface, you’re trying to determine which player is the secret criminal, but at the same time, you’re learning about your friends or co-workers and discovering which boy band they think is the best. These quick and fun investigations will have you reaching for your fedora and trench coat in no time.”
Suspectives is a social deduction game where your own quirky details become evidence in a crime! Each game of Suspectives starts with some quick survey questions where every player answers questions ranging from topics like which boy band you think is the best and whether or not you can keep a houseplant alive (spoiler alert: my begonias are thriving).
The moment all answers are in, word goes out that (GASP) a crime’s been committed, with one player being the secret criminal. And the only evidence to work with…? The very same answers to those surveys.
Grab your fedora and trench coat, because you and your fellow detectives need to work together to uncover which person the evidence points to with grueling interrogation sessions and lie detector reveals! And if you’re the criminal, try to blend in as a harmless detective by convincing everyone that you actually don’t have a favorite Beatle, despite that giant tattoo of Paul poking out beneath your sleeve.
The Jackbox Party Pack 11 is coming to PC, Xbox, Switch, PlayStation, and mobile devices. The team also has confirmed that Switch 1 versions of the game should be fine working on Switch 2.
