The Jackbox Party PackJackbox GamesPlatform(s), (selected systems),First releaseThe Jackbox Party PackNovember 26, 2014Latest releaseThe Jackbox Party Pack 6October 17, 2019The Jackbox Party Pack is a series of developed by for many different platforms on a near-annual release schedule since 2014. Each installation contains five or so games that are designed to be played in large groups, including in conjunction with streaming services like which provide a means for audiences to participate. Contents.History Jellyvision had been well-established for their series of 'irreverent trivia' games.
While the series had been successful in the late 1990s, Jellyvision had not been able to make the transition easily from computer to home console games, and by 2001, all but six employees of Jellyvision had been let go. The company focused on developing business solution software, specifically offering software to its clients to help assist their customers for complex forms or other types of support.By 2008, Jellyvision, now named The Jellyvision Lab, saw that was taking off, so split off a small subsidiary, Jellyvision Games, to rework You Don't Know Jack, first for consoles in its, then for mobile and users with their now-defunct. This last version was a critical success, and led to the studio to focus on developing similar games, rebranding the studio by 2013 as.Among their one-off titles including Lie Swatter, Clone Booth, and Word Puttz, generally designed as single player titles or played asynchronously with other players. One key game that followed this was their 2014 title Fibbage, which was designed to be a game allowing eight players to play against each other simultaneously aided by the use of one of the players using live streaming of their game or with people in the same room. Other players would participate by using a web browser or mobile device to connect to the streaming player's game through Jackbox's servers and which to provide their answers.With the success of Fibbage, Jackbox Games decided that they could offer these games in packs, reworking older games to use the streaming capabilities and adding in new titles. This formed the basis of the Jackbox Party Pack, with the first pack released in 2014 including updated versions of You Don't Know Jack, Fibbage, a reworked version of Lie Swatter for its multiplayer approach, and two new games.
The company saw this as a new development model that allowed them to provide new packs on an annual basis, play around with different game formats, and provide higher value to consumers over one-off titles.Subsequent Jackbox Party Packs have included improvements of existing games, support for more players including the addition of audience participation through the same connectivity approach, better support for content management for streams (as to remove offensive terms in responses, for example), and the ability to create custom games. An example game screen, this from Quiplash 2 in the 3rd pack.
Two players' responses are shown and the other players (listed at the top of each reply) have voted for their favorite response. The game screen shows the 'room code' to allow others to join in as audience members at any time.Most games in The Jackbox Party Pack are designed for online play, requiring only one person to own and launch the game. Remaining players can be local and thus see the game via the first player's computer or console, or can be remote, watching the game be played through streaming media services. All players – whether local or remote – use web-enabled devices, including personal computers and mobile or tablet devices, to enter a provided 'room code' at Jackbox's dedicated servers to enter the game. Games are generally limited to around 8 active players, but any other players connecting to the room after these players are connected become audience participants, who can impact how scoring is determined and influence the winner.Each game generally has a period where all players are given a type of prompt. This prompt appears on the individual devices and gives players sufficient time to enter their reply or draw as necessary, and can be set to account for forced streaming delays that some streaming services require.
The game then collects and processes all the replies, and frequently then gives players a chance to vote for the best answer or drawing; this is often where the audience may also participate by voting as a group. Games proceed for a number of rounds, and a winner, generally with the highest score at the end, is announced.Games PlatformsPS3PS4SwitchXbox OnePC/MacApple TV/iPadAndroid TVAmazon Fire TVNvidia Shield TVXfinity X1Party Pack 1Party Pack 2Party Pack 3Party Pack 4Party Pack 5Party Pack 6Party Pack 7The Jackbox Party Pack (2014) The Jackbox Party Pack was released on, and on November 19, 2014, and for on November 26, 2014.

You Don't Know Jack 2015 1-4 Players Based on the standard format for You Don't Know Jack games, four players are tasked to answer multiple choice trivia questions presented obscurely in the game's 'high culture meets pop culture' format. Players score points in the form of money for answering correctly and in a shorter amount of time and lose money for wrong answers. Multiplayer games also feature 'screws,' where one player can force another player to answer immediately and can earn a bonus if the 'screwed' player answers incorrectly.
The winner is the player with the most money at the end of the game. Drawful 3-8 Players Drawful is a drawing game. Each round starts with each player individually given a playful phrase and a drawing canvas on their local device.
They have a short amount of time to draw out that phrase. Following this, each picture is presented to all players, and the other players must enter a phrase they think the picture represents.
Then, all those replies, along with the actual phrase for that picture, are presented to the players to make their vote of what they think the original phrase was. The artist of the picture gets points for every vote that guessed their original phrase, while those who wrote other phrases get points for votes their phrase gets. Word Spud 2-8 Players Word Spud is a word association game. A word is presented and one player, at a time, comes up with a word that is associated with it.
The remaining players vote if the association is good or not. From there, the next player starts from the new word to come up with a new association, and the game continues. The player with the most votes for their associations wins.
Lie Swatter 1-100 Players A multiplayer version of the single-player mobile app that Jackbox Games released earlier, Lie Swatter challenges up to 100 players to correctly guess if presented trivia statements are true or not, 'swatting' those that are false. Players earn points for correct answers and lose points for incorrect ones. Fibbage XL 2-8 Players Fibbage XL expands on the original Fibbage with more potential questions.
Each round of the game, a player selects from one of five random categories, and an obscure fact is presented to all players with a missing word or phrase to complete it. Each player uses their local device to enter a reply for those missing words; if they enter the actual right answer, they are asked to enter something different. Then, the game presents all replies, including the correct one, to the players, who then select what they think is the right answer. Players score points for selecting the right answer, but can also score if other players select their reply, so players are encouraged to provide seemingly correct answers for their replies. The player with the most points at the end of all rounds is the winner. The Jackbox Party Pack 2 (2015) The Jackbox Party Pack 2 was released for, and on October 13, 2015.

One player is selected as the judge and are given a choice of two categories. The category is presented to the other players, and these players are each given six random sound effects.
Each player then selects two of the sound effects, in order, as a reply to the category. The judge player selects which combined sounds make the most humorous or fitting answer, and that selected player wins a point.
The first player to three points wins the game. Bidiots 3-6 Players Bidiots is described as a spiritual successor to Drawful, playable by up to 6 people.
At the start of the game, each player draws two simple pieces of art according to randomly selected categories, though these categories may be thematically related and result in similar visuals (for example, 'going to the beach', 'getting a tan', and 'sunburn'). During the game, each player has a starting pool of in-game money which is used in an auction-style format to purchase the art. During the auction, each work is randomly assigned a secret monetary value based on the category, with those works drawn for that category having the highest value; the game will randomly send hints to players on the nature of this information. Players attempt to bid and purchase the art that matches the given category name while trying to use the auction format to goad other bidders to purchase the art they made in the wrong category. Players have 'screws' as in You Don't Know Jack to force another player to bid, and if a player runs low on money, they can take out a predatory loan that will cost points at the end of the game. At the end of the game, the player with the most money, gained by buying low and selling high, wins.
Quiplash XL 3-8 Players Quiplash had been developed as a standalone game prior to the pack, and was included in this pack's release along with previous DLC (Quip Pack 1) and 'over 100 brand new prompts'. In the game's first two rounds, each player is given two prompts to provide an answer to; the prompts are given so that two players see each prompt. Players provide what they believe is a funny answer to each prompt. Then, all players are shown a prompt and the two answers provided.
They vote for the answer they think is the best quip. Each vote gains points for the player that wrote the quip, with a possible 'quiplash' and bonus points if they get all the votes. The final round, all players respond to the same prompt, and vote for the three best answers of those presented. The player with the most points at the end is the winner. 1-4 Players Bomb Corp.

Trivia Murder Party 1-8 Players Trivia Murder Party is played out in a lighthearted theme of a horror thriller (similar to the ).
Each round includes a multiple-choice trivia question, with players earning in-game money for being correct, and then a subsequent mini-game if any 'living' player got the question wrong. These mini-games take place on 'The Killing Floor', where the loser (or multiple losers) of the mini-game are 'killed' off and become ghosts. Ghosts still participate through the rest of the game. The mini-games range from random luck, challenges against themselves and the other players, or psychological games like a choice. The audience collectively plays as a ghost. The game proceeds for at least 5 rounds, and no more than 10, until only one player remains alive; if more players are alive after 10 rounds, players subsequently spin the 'Loser Wheel' which has a high chance of killing them, until only one player is left.
The last alive player then attempts to escape by moving across a set of spaces by correctly determining if two presented terms fit into a given category, moving one space for each correct answer. After the first turn, ghosts, including the audience, also begin to answer the same question, but have three terms instead of two, offering the possibility of catching up to the lead. If they surpass the leader, they possess that body, becoming the 'living' player. Once the 'living' player passes a final space, the game is over.
Guesspionage 2-8 Players Guesspionage has each player, in turn, guess what percentage of people have a certain quality or do a certain activity, such as texting while driving.

Once the current player makes their guess, the other active players can consider if they are higher or lower than the actual value, including opining if they are off by more than a certain amount. Points are scored by the current player based on how close they are (providing that they are 30% or closer to the answer), and by the other players if they guessed correctly in which direction they were off. In the final round, one question with 9 choices is given, and the players all have to pick what they think are three most popular answers, with points awarded based on the answer's popularity, the player with the most points after that wins.

In each round one player is randomly selected to be the Faker, and all players except the Faker are given instructions that involve some type of physical action, such as raising a hand or making a face; the Faker is not given this information but instead must figure out from the other players what to do. Each player then attempts to guess who the Faker by their actions, with the round ending if the Faker is guessed correctly by all other players, or successfully escaping, after which points are awarded for if at least one player guesses the Faker correctly, everyone guesses correctly, and/or if the Faker escapes capture in each task out of the number allotted (3 for 4-6 players, 2 for 3 players). After the first round, players may select any action they like.
The final round is always 'Text You Up', where each player answers a number of open-ended questions, while the Faker is given different questions which can have overlapping answers with the questions given to the players (for example, the other players may be asked about a positive trait about themselves, while the Faker would be asked what traits they would look for in a companion.) The player with the most points by the end of the game wins. 3-8 Players Tee K.O. Is a drawing-based game.

Their answer is taken out of context and sent to another player, who is then told to determine what the reply was in response to as if they were on a specific site, attempting to twist the words as best they can to make the first player look bad. All players are then presented with the pairs of original replies and the guessed topic, and vote on which pairing is the most ridiculous. Each vote earns points for the second player and a smaller number for the first player that provided the reply. The player with the most points at the end is the winner, having 'survived the Internet'.
