Doominate (stylized as DOOMINATE) is an upcoming video game and one of five games featured in The Jackbox Party Pack 11.

The game involves players competing head-to-head on who ruined a pleasant joke the best.

Gameplay

The first round will have all players will receive two different subjects on their device that they'll have to choose from. Once one of them is picked, their selected prompt and another already chosen by the game will appear, of which they'll then complete the scenario with something that could ruin said subject (like a picnic, but the food is moldy.) Players can also tap the "Ruin For Me" button, which will complete the scenario with a game-generated answer.

When all answers have been submitted, one of the prompts will show up, along with two of the players' answers in a Quiplash-styled fashion. The other players will vote on which answer they think best ruined the scenario. The players facing off will earn a percentage of points depending on how many people vote for their answer.

In Round Two, the players will receive two writing prompts, which will ask them about what their favorite thing out of a certain category (like a TV show, movie, etc.) This also includes an "Gimmie One" button, which, just like the Ruin For Me button, will submit a random subject depending on the category. After all players have finished writing in their answers, the players will then choose one of the two answers that was submitted by another player and they'll have to ruin it for them.

The voting phase in this round works exactly the same as the first, but the answer that earns the vote of the player who ruined said subject will earn a "Judgement Vote" bonus. The points will also be worth double this round.

In the final round, the players will receive a few answers from the previous two rounds, and they'll have to pick two of the prompts they want to "unruin". The answers will include the prompt, the previous answer that ruined it, and their own answer "unruining" it.

The voting phase works the same as the previous two, but with the points tripled.

After all the rounds have finished, all the scores will be tallied up, and the player with the most points at the end of the game will win.
