The Interviews, referred to as Everybody Talks, are a special type of Quest in which The Journalist has a one-on-one with every expedition team member, aimed to aid the Journalist to unraffle the mystery of Elizabert Megafig's disappearance and the nature of Bugsnax. Only with the input of the whole expedition team can the Journalist puzzle the pieces together, return back home as a GNN reporter, write a groundbreaking article and keep their job.

Interviews take place after a character's Main Quest where they return to Snaxburg - the town being the location where the interviews are held, with exception of the first interview and the final interviewees.

The Journalist has a recording device with them that allows them to record their interviews. Together with the SnaxScope these are the start-off materials the Journalist has on them for their work. Having interviewed everyone results in the Talkin' Bout Bugsnax trophy which depicts the recording device. Only during the interview can the recorded audio be listened to. Once finishing the interview, one cannot redo the interview nor is there a recording or written text found in the Journal.

The Journal's Quest section hold three base questions per Grumpus: Why are they here, why did they leave and what do they know about Lizbert.
The format of the interviews has five base questions, which need to be answered for the Quest to be considered completed: who are you, why come to Snaktooth island, thoughts on Bugsnax, why did you leave town and any info on Lizbert. Any additional questions are the Journalist asking further which allows for more insight in the characters.

After having conducted the interview, Interview notes are added to the Journal's Grumpedia section regarding the interview and some of the Journalist's own observation.

Special Interviews[]

Not all interviews are held at Snaxburg or are recorded in the Journal in either the Quest section or the Grumpedia section Interview notes.

Interview Clumby!, the first interview[1] with the Journalist's boss Clumby Clumbernut is held in a regular conversation format, unrecorded and not listed in the Journal as an Interview entry, as this Journal is only received when arriving to Snaktooth Island and being gifted the Journal by Beffica. The Journalist did list her entry in the Grumpedia with Interview notes.[2]

Interview Eggabell! with Eggabell Batternugget is also held in a regular conversation format and unrecorded but it is listed as an interview entry in the Journal and in the Grumpedia with Interview notes. Interview Eggabell pt.2!DLC follows up from Interview Eggabell!. Like all other Grumpuses, as part of her Main Quest completion, she sends a gratitude/apologetic letter to the Journalist, and invites them to have another "real" interview. Even though a proper interview is conducted this time, her interview notes have not been altered or added upon from the initial interview. This second interview seems to be fully optional, meaning it is not required to complete to finish the story/game.[3]

Hey. I'm sorry if I was cold to you before.

I know you've been interviewing everybody, so if you've got more questions for me, come see me on Frosted Peak.

*Sent via Filbo!*

Thanks for taking the time to talk to me.

I hate to admit it, but I'm pretty lonely up here and it feels nice to just talk.

Take care of yourself, alright?

*Sent via Filbo!*

Despite the circumstances, Lizbert's interview is a proper interview, with the exception of the presence of interview music and it not being held in Snaxburg. It is a mix of a regular conversation and an interview, where the Journalist holds their journal and recording device during the conducting.

The Mysterious interviewDLC is an optional interview that is not conducted by the Journalist. Instead, it is a collection of tape recordings, found within the Tripclicate Space, of an interview conducted by another Journalist with ???, the former not recorded themself. The recording are about 30-40 years old, judging from the mention of Bronica Lottablog and that the Journalist is likely to be Clumby. The entire Triplicate Space event is not mentioned nor noted down by the Journalist.
