Brighton-based independent developer Snap Finger Click, the team behind ACT IT OUT! on Wii U, has just revealed the first details of its new party game, Awkward.
Taking the title rather literally, Awkward is designed to test how much friends and family really know about each other, with over 5,000 questions that must first be answered by one player, before another attempts to correctly guess how they responded. The questions vary from trivial matters about food and pop culture to, in the game’s final round, several debate-provoking issues that could cause quite a stir.

The game is played locally by passing the controller between one and six players, although an option to stream the game via Twitch, YouTube, or Mixer, allows for audiences of up to 500,000 viewers to simultaneously play along. Unfortunately, due to the lack of any in-built streaming features on Switch, the Nintendo version is currently missing out on this mode and is only available via other platforms.
Awkward is set to be priced at £9.99 / €12,99 / $11.99 and will launch on Switch on 19th June.

That is a very [removed] trailer tbh. 😂
The only awkward thing about this trailer is the acting, lol.
That didn’t really convince me at all. This game looks kind of bad, but maybe it’s just because of the awkward trailer...
that was bad...
seriously, what is wrong with you?
looks very poor and boring
My friends and I have had lots of fun with Jackbox Party Pack 3. Mostly Quiplash, which is like Cards Against Humanity, only with more creativity involved. It’s a party game I would recommend to anyone.
Meanwhile, in the interests of not saying anything if one has nothing nice to say, this is a game that exists.
I love how bad the acting in this trailer is. It's just so bad it's good 😂
If that trailer is representative of the level of questions then it's a hard pass. It would need to get a lot darker to interest me or my friends.
Yeah, I'll be sticking to Jackbox...
@8-Bit_Superman : I think that they meant that this game would get one banned from parties.
“Yes I did sleep with your mum”
@Geeks4Life Mind your language!
This is one of those games that makes me wonder why anybody decided it should be played on an electronic device at all. Wouldn't a deck of queue cards work as well or better?
@Octane Rgr that daddy!
$12 for this crap?
I’ll stick to funnybot.

Would like to be invited to a party with this type of entertainment and experience how good/bad ends up being.
ugh this looks awful....
I’d rather have heamoroids than play this...............awkward silence........
@Vivid_viking You'll sing a different tune when you have to slide that Preparation H applicator through the swollen mess of bulging veins surrounding the area where you know there once was a butthole, but you can no longer be sure. But you'll do it, because the cool, soothing release of that awful odoriferous gel is the only thing that stands between your orifice and the sweet sweet pleasure of sitting without a cushion, or passing a painful number two with more blood in the bowl than the heavy day of a menstrual cycle.
I'd rather play the game.
@lillith Either your a nurse or your speaking from experience,whichever it is you have my condolences.
And thank you for explaining the full horror of bum grapes I fully retract my previous comment.
Although you have put me right off my spag bol.
I can almost FEEL the user statistics algorithm amass delicious valuable data.
just stupid. sorry
I get that the trailer was trying to be deliberately bad, but that still doesn't make me want to play it.
If you really want to try friendships with a party game? This is the game to play

Yikes..
@Hamguar Nah man, the first Mario Party is even more cruel. From random dice blocks to minigames that make the losing players pay coins (not battle minigames, just normal everyday minigames), MP 1 is not for the faint of heart
I'll just stick to Cards Against Humanity.
That was bad bad
