News: The creators of “You Don’t Know Jack” have released their newest party game on Xbox One.

Independent developer Jackbox Games today announced the release of Fibbage: The Hilarious Bluffing Party Game. The game is now available as a digital-only title on Xbox One via the ID@Xbox self-publishing program, and will be released as a digital-only cross buy title on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 in early September.

Fibbage is the studio’s newest, humor-laden trivia party game. The game challenges players to fool their friends with lies, avoid selecting their friends’ lies, and find the (usually zany) truths to some very unusual facts.

Up to eight players can play together on their Xbox One, PS3 or PS4 simply by using their mobile phones or tablets (or even laptops) as controllers. Players log in via a website and type in a room code to join the game, thus eliminating the need for multiple controllers and expanding the number of people who can play on a console in one room at a game night or party.

Fibbage features outrageous but incomplete facts. For example, if asked the question: “The mayor of Rabbit Hash, Kentucky is a _____,” players could enter lies such as “baby,” “rabbit,” or “ham sandwich.” Players can get as creative as they want, or use a suggestion if they get stuck. The game is hosted by the studio’s unusually-self-assured-for-a-loner host, Cookie Masterson (of You Don't Know Jack “fame.”)

“We’re trying to corner the market on live, multiplayer party games that you play with friends on your couch or bed, depending on the type of party it is,” said Mike Bilder, GM of Jackbox Games. “Fibbage is just the first in a series of ‘party play’ games, as we call them, that we plan to release. No huge stash of controllers needed, just some friends with phones and your favorite console.”

Each game of Fibbage is seven questions long and includes specialty questions such as Celebrity Tweets and Road Trip. It culminates with a high-stakes final question: The Final Fibbage.
