Nonsensory is a party video game and one of five games featured in The Jackbox Party Pack 9.
In this game, players test their NSP (Nonsensory Perception) by trying to guess the percentage or ranking (from a 1 to 10 scale) of another player's prompt or drawing, based off of a given question.
Gameplay
All players are shown a scale with a determined number or range ranging from one subject to another. The player will be tasked to write an answer that would make sure the other players can accurately guess their secret number. The Audience can partake in a synchronization test, where they'll be shown four cards with different shapes and symbols and ask a question, like "Which of these cards is the most extroverted?" for example.
Once all answers are in, one of the players' responses is shown, of which the others, as well as the Audience members, will have to guess which number, percentage or stars said answer lands on the scale. Players can also tap and hold the "Confidence Button" in order to double their earnings, or lose an amount of their points. They can also press one of the three emotes shown on their device to share their feedback on the drawing.
When all players have made their guesses, they're shown and then the real answer lights up on the scale. Players will earn 1,000 points if they're spot on, 500 if they're one away from the correct answer, and points ranging from 350 to 0 for being off.
If a player uses their Confidence and are within the range, they'll earn double the points; however, if they use their Confidence and is out of the actual answer's range, then they'll lose 500 points.
The second round (and third in a game with 5 or less players) works about the same, but instead of the players writing an answer, they'll have to draw a picture portraying the determined range. (If the "Writing Only" or "Drawing Only" settings are turned on, then these will override said rounds.)
The final round will have everyone draw a prompt with a range between two completely separate subjects (like a snake and a baseball bat) and the points are doubled this round, making the correct answer 2,000 points and its neighboring answers, 1,000. The board will also change colors from gray to orange at the top half and purple at the bottom half.
After the final round is over, all of the final scores are shown, and the player with the most points wins the game. The Audience will also be shown a sentence regarding their performance in-game.
