Discover Legends of Trivia: Coming to Xbox in The Jackbox Party Pack 11

Okay, so here’s the scoop. We’ve got The Jackbox Party Pack 11 hitting Xbox soon, and it’s a wild ride with five fresh games in the mix. Think joke-writing, cozy drawing, some sound shenanigans, social deduction, and yeah, a trivia RPG thing called Legends of Trivia—because why not mix trivia and RPGs, right?

So, Legends of Trivia, what’s the deal? It’s this quirky twist on trivia where your team’s gotta clobber monsters by answering questions—get it right, you bash them; get it wrong, you get bashed. Fun times, huh? The folks behind it, like Game Director Warren Arnold, have been jazzed about making this big, action-packed game with all these cool animations and stuff. More monsters, more madness.

I chatted (or maybe eavesdropped?) with some devs like Warren, Lead Artist Hector Padilla, and Audio Whiz Nate Sandberg. Hector had this idea like eons ago—okay, maybe five or six years back—and it just chilled in the freezer of ideas until… bam! Nate randomly nudged him to dig up those old notes, and suddenly we’ve got a team working magic on this RPG trivia mash-up. Who knew forgotten ideas could make such a comeback?

And can we talk about the audio, like, seriously? Nate says it’s inspired by 8-bit classics and all those earworm melodies from back in the day. He’s tossing in stuff like lute and trombone—imagine that mix! But to keep it from getting too serious, there’s some cartoonish sound flair, because a big goofy monster needs goofy sounds.

Hector’s art is fueled by a love for Pokémon—Ken Sugimori’s style, not catching them all—and I’m 100% here for it. He’s big on character design but fights the UI demons. His faves? A mage princess named Azura and a jester named Bingo. Clowns? Spooky or silly? Your call.

Oh, and those audio moments, like the ogre on a tiny donkey? You can’t make this up. Nate’s pulling xylophones and squeaky toys out of some sound vortex—it’s madness but the good kind.

In the end, these creators hope players dive into their world, feeling like every move matters, every sound and sight pulling them deeper. So yeah, if any of this sticks with you, maybe check out this party pack when it drops. It’s all a bit chaotic but maybe that’s the charm. Anyway—wait, what was I saying? Never mind, just enjoy the game, folks.
