❤ Structured Episodic Gameplay

Rather than the traditional 7 or 21 question formats, Vol. 4 structures each playthrough into 13-question "episodes" with distinct themes ranging from "Parenting" to "Fetishes." This episodic approach ensures no two playthroughs feel the same, as the questions and content cater to each episode's subject matter.

❤ Innovative Question Selection

Players do not choose the questions themselves. Instead, the game rapidly cycles through question values, requiring players to quickly decide whether to risk a higher-value query or play it safe. This strategic element adds an extra layer of challenge beyond simply answering trivia.

❤ Sabotage Mechanics

The game introduces a "screw" mechanic that allows players to rapidly press 'S' and make the current question nearly unreadable. This forces opponents to answer blindly, introducing an entertaining element of sabotage and underhanded tactics.

❤ Specialty Minigames

Vol. 4 features new question types like "Roadkill," where players must find connections between two given items, and "BINGO," which has them buzzing in when the first letter of the answer appears. These unique minigames break up the traditional trivia format.

❤ Narrative Continuity

An overarching narrative runs through the episodes, with the game's hosts - including returning favorites like Cookie Masterson and newcomers such as Nate Shapiro and Buzz Lippman - engaging in an ongoing rivalry. Certain episodes feature hosts being "sent to the bottom," adding a sense of progression and investment beyond just answering questions.
