Our take on Job Joust
Rather than following a standard action-game campaign, Job Joust centers on local group matches where physics, workplace-themed characters, improvised power-up combinations, and arena hazards determine the action.
What is Job Joust?
Job Joust is a physics-based local multiplayer party game for up to six players.
Each participant controls a humorous employee character and competes by bumping and dunking opponents. Between rounds, players select equipment improvements and combine power-ups to create different abilities and effects. Characters include unusual roles such as a floating doctor, an exploding policeman, and a large stealth-focused executive. Arenas contain hazards including bumpers, lasers, and teleporters that can influence each match. The game supports quick participation for casual groups while also allowing players to practice bounce angles, reads, and spikes. Matches are fast-paced, with comeback opportunities created by cumulative perks and changing equipment choices.
