How to unlock the Bracketeering: Split Decision achievement in The Jackbox Party Pack 4 - Definitive Guide
This achievement requires you to have a bracket go to overtime with an audience member present.
You can do this one of two ways, depending on what browser you're using:
Firefox:
Use the Multifox add-on for the Firefox browser. Install it and each new tab opened (ctrl+T) can be assigned a different profile by clicking the fox icon in the browser in the top right corner.
Google Chrome:
Click on the person image in the very top right of your browser. Go all the way down to "manage people" and click on it, then click on "add person" in the bottom right corner. Once you click it, click an image for them then click "save" in the bottom right corner. This will open a new pop up window for that person.
I'd suggest using the Firefox method as it's easier to navigate tabs than windows, but I couldn't get it to work for some reason so I wen't with Chrome.
Regardless of what method you use, open six tabs/windows and join a Bracketeering game. Have five of the six tabs/windows join the game then start it. Have the sixth tab join as an audience member and write down whatever answers you want. In the first bracket have one tab/window vote for one answer and another tab/window vote for the other answer so there is a 1-1 tie. Once the game goes to the tapping overtime, you'll get your achievement.

A minimum of 4 Players and 2 Audience members are required. You do not need to complete a full game for this trophy, only one round.
When the Voting Round starts, one pair of answers will need to get the same amount of votes to tie and go into overtime. Audience members are allowed to vote and will be required to do so for this trophy. You need to be playing with an even number of Players so the votes can be split. Once the Round goes into overtime and the “Sudden Death” section starts, the trophy will unlock.
Using the Boosting/Nightly method:
- Start a game with 16 Players
- Have each Player use their Player # for the anwsers (Player 1 uses "1", Player 2 uses "2" up to Player 16 using "16"
- During the Betting Round, 4 numbers will each need to get 4 bets (Ex: "1" gets 4 votes, "2" gets 4 votes, "3" gets 4 votes, and "4" gets 4 votes). You may need to pause the game to make sure all the bets are made. Remember these four numbers.
-
During the Voting Round, do the following:
- Players 1-4 vote for the top answer
- Players 5-8 vote for the second answer
- Players 9-12 vote for the third answer
- Players 13-16 vote for the last answer
- This will cause a 4-way tie to happen.
- When the sudden death starts, have any Player spam their answer so it wins. Bracketeering: Button Masher
- During the second Voting Round, have all the Players choose any answer that is NOT one of the 4 numbers from the Betting Round.
- Vote for anything the next 2 Voting Rounds.
- During the second betting round, bet on any number EXCEPT the one you chose for the Second Voting round.
- Fifth Voting Round - Have all Players choose the same number that won the Second Voting round.
- It does not matter what you choose for the next voting round.
- FINAL VOTING ROUND: Make sure all Players choose the number that won the Second and Sixth Voting Rounds. Bracketeering: Clean Sweep
- You can exit the game as soon as the trophy unlocks
- Start a new game with 4 Players and 2 Audience members (you may need to turn the Audience members on in the Settings menu)
-
ROUND 1: Have each Player use some form of their Player # for both of their answers
- Player 1 uses "1" and "one"
- Player 2 uses "2" and "two"
- Player 3 uses "3" and "three"
- Player 4 uses "4" and "four"
- Bet on anyone in the Betting Round. It does not matter.
- During the Voting Round, have Players 1-2 vote for the first answer, Players 3-4 vote for the second answer, Audience member 1 vote for the first answer, and Audience member 2 vote for the 2nd answer.
- This will result in a tie and the match will go into overtime. Bracketeering: Split Decision
