only the freshest comedy
VIDEOGAMED TO PERFECTION
|
Remember that party where you wrote and drew funny things on your phone and they appeared on your television? That was almost certainly one of the many fine products available from Jackbox Games. Ryan served as Director and creative lead on a wide range of Jackbox titles. He was also a writer and Editorial Lead, creating and managing game content. Including the brilliant jokes your loud friend talks over. |
no, really
THESE ARE THE GAMES
Ryan helped ship each and every one of these games, and it went pretty well!
Quiplash 2
Co-Director / Designer / Editorial Lead / Writer
We call it the "say anything party game" but I forget why. Oh wait! It was because players type in their best response to a hilarious prompt and then are pitted against each other in a head-to-head battle of hilarity!
|
If you've only played one game Ryan worked on, it's probably Quiplash.

Tee K.O.
Director / Designer / Editorial Lead / Writer
Welcome to mysterious T-Shirt Island, where the most hardened warriors in the world compete in an ancient fighting tournament. But instead of using fists, you'll engage in the deadly art of... novelty t-shit design!
|
When one shirt gets all the votes, we call it a "SHIRTALITY," which is the finest contribution to society Ryan will ever be involved with.

Fibbage 3
Director / Designer / Editorial Lead / Writer
You get an unbelievable true fact with a key word or phrase blanked out. Then you make up a lie that fits the blank. Earn points by spotting the truth and tricking your gullible friends with your lies. Or play Fibbage Enough About You, the mode that's all about you and your friends!
|
Hey it's Ryan! Telling you about Fibbage 3! What a great hair day it was!

Fibbage 4
Director / Designer / Writer
The lying game for lying liars returns with tons of fresh trivia, plus a boatload of new features, including video questions, Fibbage Fan Facts, and the brand new Final Fibbage where players write one lie that works for two entirely different questions.
|
Ryan watched so many public domain movies for the video questions that he now dreams in black and white vignettes paid for by the Minnesota Tourism Board.

You Don't Know Jack: Full Stream
Director / Designer / Writer
The irreverent trivia classic returns, revamped and better than ever! Fan favorite question types are back, including the DisOrDat, the triumphant return of the Gibberish Question, and the bigger, crazier Jack Attack.
|
Remember YDKJ from the CD-ROM days? We brought it back and made it work on phone controllers with up to 8 players. It was hard! And a lot of fun!

Role Models
Director / Designer / Editorial Lead / Writer
Everybody’s somebody, so who are you? The planner? The flake? The sassy one? Only your friends know the real you, and now they’ve got the perfect excuse to tell you all about it.
|
We thought players would love the tie-breaker games, but they really just wanted to rank each other. We changed the entire game multiple times leading up to release. It was worth it!

The Devils and the Details
Director / Designer / Editorial Lead / Writer
You and your family of demons are moving from the underworld to an average suburban neighborhood! Work together to deal with the stressful rituals of mortal life, like burst pipes, annoying neighbors, and, of course, your own terrible family.
|
Austin Creed and pals agreed to debut the game for us. It made them really annoyed with each other, which is how we knew it was working.

Job Job
Designer / Editorial Lead / Writer
You need a job and this sentient watercooler is hiring! Impress them by taking words and phrases from other players and rearranging them to form the perfect answers to bizarre job interview questions!
|
Easily one of the most entertaining hosts I've ever written for. I mean "Ryan's ever written for." Which verb tense makes me seem classy yet approachable?

Weapons Drawn
Designer / Editorial Lead / Writer
Weapons Drawn is a social deduction game where everyone did it. Distract from the murders you committed by solving the murders your friends did. Will anyone guess which weapons were drawn by you?
|
We had the idea to use two hosts: one teaching you all the lawful detective stuff, and one teaching you the nefarious murder stuff. It was a ton of fun to write!

Dictionarium
Director / Designer
Little known fact: every word in every language was made up. Often by some weirdo like Shakespeare! Time for you to get in on the act and make up your own definitions to nonsense words and phrases, then use them in ridiculous sentences.
|
Do not ask where this host is from. It's not a place that exists outside of video games.

Civic Doodle
Director / Designer / Editorial Lead / Writer
The city of Doodle Valley has, for some reason, asked you and your friends to beautify the town with artistic murals. To keep things democratic, two players draw at the same time and the drawing that gets the most votes becomes the new base drawing that two more players add to. It gets weird!
|
Yes, this was filmed on the same day as the Fibbage 4 video, but don't let that distract you from what's important: Ryan's hair was seriously on point that day.

you can take our word for it
BUT DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
Ryan's games have been played and enjoyed by the internet-famous! But do not blame Ryan for their jokes!
