Monster Seeking Monster - Strategy and Tips to Win

I haven't seen anyone make a guide for best strategies in this game included in Jackbox Party Pack 4. This comprehensive list goes through all the monsters and some bonus tips for general play.
Thanks to my friends on Twitch for helping me with the guide, especially kilocloud21!

I remember once I managed to trick the people I was playing with into thinking I was the Invisible Person for the entire game when I was really the Body Swapper. I purposefully wasn't getting dates for the first two nights, and after that I mostly dated lower ranking players. On the last full moon though, I managed to date the top player, which instantly jumped me from the bottom to the top. The people I was playing with were shocked, lol

[@MoonlightMirage]

Sometimes I will think someone is a Body Swapper who swapped on a full moon, but turns out they were just a Serial Killer stealing two hearts XD Vice versa as well, but the scenario you mentioned has happened so much XD

[@sunnydasheep]

Isn't that a little ironic?

[@axaturdoor7553]

I think they should’ve made it so the invisible person is randomly in 5th, 6th, 7th or 8th place.

[@wouldyourather6105]

@@axaturdoor7553 yeah but I’d say that shouldn’t happen since the balance is supposed to be that you don’t know what place the invisible person is in. It also kind of shoos of the body swapper since they don’t know if it’ll give them the dub.

[@wildharpy6435]

Hang on... what if the monster hunter had to hunt the mother, and the player the mother is the mother of was the monster hunter?

[@Kizaco]

The mother would just deny the monster hunter every night, lol. Not that hard to think

I've never seen that happen before tbh

[@airmanon7213]

I was a zombie and got screwed over because I dated a leprechaun early, so I got revealed first and the other players that weren't infected made sure to avoid me.

[@derpylemon852]

its so funny how obvious the "invisible" person is, but then it can absolutely destroy one of the best monsters in the game, leprechaun.

[@chaawesome]

My mummy strategy is interesting. Date someone on the first night, and try to date them again. If they reject you on the next night... only 1 more player (the person they date) gets cursed. And if they accept you, then that is one night of no one being cursed. continue dating cursed players and letting other cursed players spread it. this will make it unlikely to break the curse, but you might also get less dates, but it can be worth it to steal the hearts.

It boggles me that the Werewolf is the rarest player when there's a FULL MOON MECHANIC.

[@MoonlightMirage]

Nah, I see the Werewolf pretty often (AND the Body Swapper! I tend to see them both in the game) What I DON'T see often is the Glob

[@ezram6278]

[@Naturally-Bright]

One time I was playing and i got the mother, and then my child happened to be the only AFK. I got so incredibly lucky that night XD

[@allgamesalltime]

[@PopLopChop]

I don't play Monster Seeking Monster personally, but this video is so good!

[@MoonlightMirage]

9:43 Don't kill the Glob D:

[@MoonlightMirage]

It's also worth mentioning that my friend (TheLawDawg16) and I came up with a tier system based on the top 5, mid 5, and bottom 5: 1. Zombie 2. Two-Faced Creep 3. Glob 4. Serial Killer 5. Body Swapper ----- 6. Mother 7. Ventriloquist Puppet 8. Witch 9. Vampire 10. Leprechaun ----- 11. Invisible Person 12. Werewolf 13. Monster Hunter 14. Vengeful Ghost 15. Mummy Mummy is so bad, almost always the curse gets broken regardless of strategies, and usually it's an AFK who saves the Mummy's day We have a huge document that discusses our methods of using each monster + Law's snapshots of winning as each monster (for instance, Serial Killer should try for Audience if at all possible, and Leprechauns that date Body Swappers on a full moon = Leprechauns get their own fake hearts because of the swap)

[@yoshiegg2903]

Zombie isnt very good. If the zombie is revealed early, it’s like a piece of coal in a mine of diamonds and gold. Noone wants to date the zombie if revealed early. But the whole winning if everyone is a zombie thing keeps it at high mid tier/low top tier. Imo i’d put the zombie at 5-8 on the best leaderboard

[@Pufferfish725]

How is two faced even close to the second best monster in the game?

[@MoonlightMirage]

@@Pufferfish725 So the person I mentioned isn't friends with me anymore, but basically he had a lot of experience with that monster and figured out that: -You could get a free heart from the audience if you send a message and they try to date you -You can make promises with several people for the next night, but betray everyone except for one -You could also try sending a message to the audience and then dating them, while betraying everyone else you made promises with

[@Pufferfish725]

@@MoonlightMirage -I guess sending 1 message to the audience could work, but if someone else is trying to date them and uses more messages they'll be picked over you not giving you a heart. -That could work, but afterwards people will catch on that you're probably the two faced creep and stop dating you. Also if you send a small amount of messages you have a higher chance of getting rejected your self, losing all of your extra bonus hearts. Then you'll lose trust with people making it harder to get dates. -That's really risky since if someone else is trying to date the audience and you get rejected you lose all of your bonus heats and get nothing. Then people will lose trust in you making it harder to get dates. Additional point -Two faced from my experience is very susceptible to losing their lead. When they get revealed people will stop dating them to avoid getting rejected. I guess that's just my perspective. The success of the two faced probably depends on the people you're playing with.

[@wouldyourather6105]

I disagree with Zombie. It shouldn’t be the best. If you get revealed first 2 rounds you can’t win by that means. Also vengeful ghost should be higher up. Not saying the best but not 14th maybe like what 7th? Why? Because you can possibly force people into dating you.

[@Zero-ce9sp]

I ended up winning one time as the monster hunter because a friend and I kept talking about the monster hunter games and he was the one I had to match with. Talked about monster hunter every night, won and being the monster hunter was the cherry on the top of it

[@penguinflames707]

I once was monster hunter hunting 2 face creep. 2 faced creep got revealed night. I wasn’t revealed yet, but 2 face creep kept dating me legit. So while they were most likely baiting others and sticking with me, I got a total of 4 hearts in the final reveal. I forget if I win or not but I know I ended high

[@derpylemon852]

and seriously is it me or am i the only one who thinks the vengeful ghost is one of the BEST???

What does the secret word mean that appears on the screen when it says night one, night two etc.?

[@DeathByAutoscroll]

Nothing, it's to spark creativity within the messages

[@misterbrick4276]

The last time I played as the invisible person I'm not sure anybody noticed or cared, despite me literally writing "I don't SEE why not" in my last message of the first night. At least I got bonus hearts at the start of the game.

[@HaapsaluYT]

[@ladygeneveve3805]

Why would anyone be scared of the leprechaun? He doesn't steal hearts he gives out fake hearts that disappear later

[@Blader2600]

Simple, the leprechaun makes you waste a potential heart and also makes you revealed faster

[@ladygeneveve3805]

@@Blader2600 do you not get a regular heart for dating the leprechaun?

[@Blader2600]

@@ladygeneveve3805 no, both fake hearts disappear and are not replaced with regular hearts. So you get the downside of having more hearts, which is to be revealed and not the benefit which is actually being in the lead.

Evil Idea for the Vengeful Ghost: Message someone to hook up, but then go for someone else entirely. They probably won't end up picking you, so you steal one of their hearts. Haha >:)

You only make them lose a heart for them rejecting you, as in you must attempt to date them in order for a -1 to their score.

Leprechaun overall, but Zombie for winning

[@MoonlightMirage]

@@Blader2600 I know you like the Leprechaun but there are two monsters that can break him: -Invisible Person will always appear to be in last until the end of the game, so even if they drop in their REAL ranking, no bonus heart for the Leprechaun because it just looked like someone in last had fake hearts -Body Swapper CAN and WILL SWAP FAKE HEARTS - interaction with them and an unrevealed Leprechaun is absolutely deadly, as this makes the Leprechaun boost up into (usually) 1st or 2nd, get revealed, and then drop back down in the rankings immediately (However, rarely anyone seems to notice that upon reveal, it looks as if the Leprechaun gave themselves fake hearts lmao;; experienced players might actually figure out who the Body Swapper is based on who didn't get fake hearts from dating the Leprechaun so it's bad for both of them)
