It's annoying to be in the middle of a game with other players, only to have your phone, computer, or tablet disconnect from a match without warning, or to have it freeze and not recognize that an answer was submitted. Docking the Switch in a television and having it serve as the main source of action works well, but the connection between devices and the site isn't always stable. While the majority of the content is dependent upon players to produce good, confusing lies, the game suffers from a big problem: maintaining a connection to devices. It's also nice to see that players can give recognition to the lies that are more amusing, allowing people to win the Thumbs Up Cup at the end of the game. Plus, depending on who you're playing with, the responses you'll have to choose from can range from crude to potentially mature (so if you're planning a family night, make sure the family filter is turned on). Of course, you're trying to find the correct response as well, which is tricky, because frequently, the most absurd comment is the right one. Instead, it's about misleading and confusing your opponents by providing answers that sound plausible enough that your rivals will think they're correct, earning you lots of points. Fibbage XL turns the concept of trivia games on its head, because the focus isn't on knowing the answer to the trivia question being asked.


You don't need to be strong at trivia if your lies are convincing enough, but you may have a tricky time finishing a game without some technical issue popping up. Are you the best fibber around? Grab your friends and family and find out! Show more Players will go through three rounds before the final winner is decided, but even if you don't take the top spot, you could still win a consolation prize - the Thumbs Up Cup - for getting the most likes over the course of the game. At the end of each question, players get a chance to select which answers they liked the most. If you select a fib, the person who wrote it gets points, but the right answer banks a larger number of points. Once everyone has entered their "suggestion," it moves onto the next phase, where everyone tries to select the right answer. If you can't come up with something, you don't have to worry, because the game will offer to make a suggested falsehood for a cut of the total points for that round. But instead of seeing who can get the right answer first, your goal is to come up with a lie that sounds like it could be the right answer to throw off your competitors. The snarky Fibbage XL host, Cookie Masterson, asks players to select a topic before asking a question to you and up to seven other players. Players will use their computer, phone, or tablet as controllers to play the game instead of the Switch, which acts as the game emcee.

FIBBAGE XL isn't like many of the traditional trivia games that you've seen or played before.
