Quixort is one of five games in The Jackbox Party Pack 9, now available in the Epic Games Store. Based on the game’s name, you can tell that speed was top of mind while thinking through this timed trivia tessellation task. During early design meetings we found ourselves watching Trivia Murder Party speedruns, realizing just how well-suited our game was for “the act of playing a video game with the goal of completing it as fast as possible” (thanks, Wikipedia).

The first step on your Quixort speedrunning journey will be to turn on the “Speedrun Mode” setting, which displays a timer on screen while you play, as well as tracks your fastest time for both classic Quixort and Quixort Forever.
Setting ValuesSeveral other settings may be helpful in shaving down your time. “Control blocks with Controller” will allow you to use a gamepad or keyboard in addition to jackbox.tv. Setting the “Block Falling Speed” to its fastest option of “1” is a must. Beyond that, it’s up to you to develop strategies! When you have a sense of where you want your block to be placed, you have the ability to “Slam” your answer down to the bottom quickly. You’ll probably be slamming down a lot.
ForeverEditThe next step is trying to beat the Jackbox office champ’s times. No hints on what the records are, but the records are 13:58.07 for Quixort Classic and 01:57.32 for Quixort Forever. You may have noticed that the Personal Best in the screenshot above is the current record for Quixort Forever. That’s because I am the Jackbox office champ. Beat my times!
