Ahhhh! Ahhh. AAAAAAAAHHHHH. AHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Aaaahhhhh.
Oh, don’t mind me. I’m just warming up my pipes for a game of Hear Say, the fourth game in The Jackbox Party Pack 11! Watch the teaser video for Hear Say below.
In Hear Say, you’ll be putting your pipes to work to create hilarious soundscapes. Use your phone as a controller, just like all Jackbox party pack games. But in this one, you get to use the microphone on your phone to get real sound effects that work in the game!
First, you and your friends will need to calibrate. You’ll be tasked with something simple like: get this dot above the line as many times as possible using just your voice.
Then, you’ll receive prompts on your device. Something like: “make the noise of a balloon deflating.” If you’re playing in the same room as friends, or in an extra vivacious Discord server of mic-on players, be prepared for a ridiculous cacophony of sound! Record your sounds amidst the chaos or find a quiet spot in the corner to surprise everyone with your funny foley work.
After everyone has recorded their sounds, they’ll be played back for everyone to hear and vote for their favorites. Once winners of each round have been selected, those sounds will be presented in a brand new context. That balloon deflating? Now it’s breaking the silence in a peaceful yoga studio.
The beauty of this game? Anyone can be a star — from your most charismatic buddy in the group chat to the shyest friend at the function.
