Is the game funny, or just the players? Jackbox CEO says they get 'a lot of false positives' with a staff of comedy writers
Testing comedy games comes with a unique challenge.
AI Summary
Jackbox Games’ Party Packs are social improv games whose tone can shift dramatically depending on the players involved. CEO Mike Bilder notes that jokes that amuse a group of PC gamers may fall flat or even offend others, such as the phrase “glup shitto” that would likely not be appreciated by someone like a grandmother. Because of this high‑variance dynamic, the company says it must remain acutely aware of how humor lands across different audiences.
