Split the Room is a party video game and one of five games featured in The Jackbox Party Pack 5.

Gameplay

Every player plus the Audience will be prompted with a fill-in-the-blank scenario that they have to complete by typing out a certain consequence that'll surface from it. (Audience members will vote on three different answers and the majority vote will fill in the blank.)

When all answers have been submitted, the scenarios pop up one-by-one, which will show the scenario as well as the answer that the player filled in the blank with. The other players plus the Audience will then be prompted with a question asking if they'd partake in that scenario or not by pressing either YES or NO on their device. (Players can also like or dislike a player's scenario if they thought it was amusing or not; however, it won't affect the scores in any way.)

The original writer will get points if the players have an uneven or split decision, as well as a Time Bonus for the amount of time players took to answer the scenario. (This excludes Audience votes and AFK players.) If the player manages to have the same amount of people in both of the decisions (including the Audience), they'll earn a Super Split.

After all scenarios have been shown, the leaderboard will appear on-screen, with the amount of points each player accumulated thus far.

In the final round, the Decisive Dimension, players are tasked to fill in the blank for another scenario, but this time, the players will have to write out an answer to compete with one of the game's pre-written answers linked within said scenario. The players will also have a randomly selected player out of the game and they'll have to predict which answer they'll pick. (If the original writer correctly predicts the answer that the player chose, they'll earn a Psychic Bonus, granting them with 50 extra points.)

After all scenarios have been submitted, two doors will appear, with both of the answers appearing on their respective door. The others will then pick which answer they prefer. (The point systems will work the same as the first round, with the exception of the Time Bonus, which doesn't appear in this round.)

After all scenarios have been shown, a final scoreboard reveals all the players' scores, and both the winner's declared, as well as the person with the most likes. The person with the most dislikes, however, will get thrown in Mayonnaise's litter box during the credits.
