Monsters don't like boys or girls, they like monsters. Each playable character can be selected with the choice of a name and pronoun, letting the players date any monster they please. Maybe a mermaid strikes your fancy, or perhaps you have a thing for the devil. Whatever your heart desires, but be warned: Failing to get the date can make future games that much more difficult.
Rejection is a fundamental element of the Monster Prom , just like real life.

When the journey to prom begins, players are given a series of questions. Depending on how they answer the questions, points will be given points to one of six categories.
These categories each lend themselves to particular monster, so if there is one you are hoping to date, you better be raising the stats in the right subject. Continuing to raise points in a particular area of expertise is the key to success, so you'll need to visit the library if upgrading smarts is your target. Other locations give rewards in other categories. There is only so much time available before prom, so each encounter holds a lot of weight. Players can choose whether they have time for a short game or long game from the get-go, making Monster Prom perfect for a quick laugh or a more complex game.
In a full game, not only is there more time to get to know a monster, but using in-game currency, players can purchase items to uniquely modify their experience, no additional funds needed.

If things are going sour with your potential mate, there's plenty of opportunity to have a memorable prom season. Remember when I mentioned playing with family? I meant family that can stomach some wonderfully crude humor. Some of wholesome choices include having an orgy in the cafeteria or searching the internet for "blood magic to guarantee prom queen victory over basic bitches to maintain social status.
At the heart of Monster Prom is the multiplayer feature. Up to four players can participate in the race to win a date, but only the most cunning will be successful. This is a massive change for dating sim rules and adds some additional layers of strategy and cruelty to the proceedings.

Multiplayer can be done locally, by sharing a remote between friends or each having their own. Online play will also be available by Thursday's launch, but wasn't available during my time with the game. Thankfully, Monster Prom lends itself wonderfully to the idea of screen sharing. Through either Steam or a streaming site like Twitch, players can join in the fun by voicing their selections in a chat, allowing for endless player opportunities. This idea is well received for the Jackbox series of games and will likely turn Monster Prom into having a good streaming footprint.
One of the biggest differences comes from challenges at the end of each game segment. The winner of the event gets to go first on the next turn. This is important since only one player can visit a specific place during the next turn. If more than one player has to meet up with their potential prom date, that can lead to some interesting problems. The challenges mostly have players shouting out random nonsense and then having to vote on the winner. For instance, one such event has players shout out an object.

To be honest, I was disappointed in this. It sounded like something that should by all means be my thing, but it just wasn't. After the 3th playthrough one playthrough last max 1 hour I noticed how little variety there really is. Also, everything seems to be quite random, meaning there is no certain way to go for each scenario. A joke is funny the first time you hear it, but repeating it over and over just becomes tedious.
