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

Oh man, you’re gonna love this. So, The Jackbox Party Pack 11 is hitting Xbox, and honestly, it’s like waiting for your favorite band to drop a new album. Except this time, it’s packed with five brand-new games. Yep, five. We’ve got a joke-writing game, a chill drawing game, a sound effects game, a social deduction game, and get this—a trivia role-playing game called Legends of Trivia! Sounds epic, right?

And Legends of Trivia? It’s trivia but with a splash of fantasy. You basically team up with your buddies to drop-kick monsters by nailing trivia questions. But if you mess up, the monsters slap back. Ouch! Anyway, the idea is to work like a beast with your crew to knock out the baddies and become “Legendary”—whatever that means.

Chatted recently with some folks behind this game—Warren, Hector, Nate. Geniuses, the lot of them. Oh, and let me tell you, working on Legends of Trivia isn’t your run-of-the-mill project. Warren goes on about how making the game is like taming a wild beast—tons of action, animation, and figuring out the right balance to bring it all to life. Makes you wonder if they finally trained a dragon, or just settled for a really big lizard.

Hector’s piece of the story? So, like six years ago, dude pitched the game idea. Yeah, six years! It was a nifty prototype, pretty promising, but then it gathers dust. Fast forward, Nate just nudges him one day—asks for all those dusty notes. They whip up a little dream team, and BOOM, green light city! Talk about a comeback story, right?

Man, art and audio took inspiration from everywhere—Final Fantasy vibes, Ken Sugimori yelling “DRAW MORE POKÉMON!” or something. Nate’s got this thing for analog synths mixed with fantasy instruments. I mean, blending cello with a lute? Who does that? And Hector, well, he pulls magic outta his pen. Characters like Azura, The Princess Mage, super relatable to his magical girl dreams, I guess. But Bingo, The Rogue Jester—that name alone makes me smile. Aren’t clowns underrated?

You know, Nate seems to have a blast putting together the audio for the bosses. A huge ogre riding a tiny donkey—imagine that visual. So Nate goes all Looney Tunes with xylophones and squeaky toys. Contrast, right? Big ogre, tiny squeak. Sounds like a cocktail of chaos, if you ask me.

In the end, Hector and Nate just wanna weave a spell with the art and sound. They want you to feel something real and maybe a bit nostalgic—like remembering the smell of your grandma’s house, only with a digital twist. Legends of Trivia, plus four other wild rides, are hitting The Jackbox Party Pack 11 this fall on Xbox! So, stalk Jackbox Games on Instagram and TikTok. Trust me, you don’t wanna miss out.
