![]() The result is a game that fits right in with its inspiration. Being that this is a game that is primarily built around a multiplayer experience, the big question is how it would hold up with a group of individuals sitting around to join in on the fun. The overall goal is to provide the funniest possible entries for other players to vote on. The movie clip lacks a subtitle, the picture lacks a headline, the prompt needs an answer, and the sentence needs to be completed. Use Your Words does split itself up into four minigames, at least all of them have the same basic idea, but each of them are themed differently.īasically, players are given either a movie clip, picture, prompt, or unfinished sentence. Since my friends would immediately want to play Quiplash or Tee K.O. rather than anything else in the Jackboxes, however, it’s safe to say this is feasible.

I know it’s a minor thing, but I like to take screenshots of my JackBox sessions because I can always look back on them to laugh. One thing that annoyed me was that I couldn’t take screenshots with the Capture button on my Switch. It works perfectly fine for this type of game. That isn’t to say it’s a bad thing, of course. The most animation you’ll get out of the screen would be from the movie clips that play during one of the minigames. ![]() Enter Use Your Words, a party game that involves smartphones and typing in punchlines.Īs can be expected from a JackBox-inspired affair, the visuals aren’t anything special per se everything onscreen consists of stylized images and the like.
