Zirka says What? Is an up to 8 player Party game, played with a combination of the game running on a PC/Console, and your mobile device. Using a System similar to the one used in The JackBox Party Pack, Players join the game by connecting their phones to the room setup by the person using the console. Upon starting the game, a phrase will be both spoken and displayed on the Monitor, in a language that is not the one currently set as default by the game. This language can be any from the top 50 languages spoken on planet earth, as ordered by number of native speakers. Each player will have limited amount of time to type into their phones what they believe the sentence means in English. Once all are submitted, each answer, as well as the correct translation, is displayed on screen. The game does a comparative analysis, putting each answer side by side with the translation. The person with the most words of the phrase, or at least a similar meaning, gets points. This continues for several rounds, with a new language each time. Its confusion abound, as you just don't know what Zrika will say next!
