The Jackbox Party Pack

Top Pro

Easy for large groups to play

The game supports up to eight players, and what is even better is that only one controller is needed in order to play as it can be passed around, so no need to have eight controllers to support such a large party size. See More

Top Con

Questions in You Don't Know Jack are not randomised

Replaying episodes will lead to identical experiences, although there are plenty of episodes to choose from. See More

Monika's Experience

The Jackbox Party Pack trilogy (and as of very recently, a tetralogy) is a constant in our game nights with family and friends. Everyone has a smartphone, so everyone can play, and with the later packs, if you don't want to be an active player, you can participate as an audience member. Quick thinking and humorous answers are inevitable and the games have been known to cheer up even the grumpiest grandad in the family. See More

CulturedPoseidon's Experience

I use all the Jackbox party games and the You Don't Know Jack for groups in both location and virtual settings for my English classes and Trivia Nights. These games are a huge asset for competitive groups. See More

Eon Altar

Top Pro

Cell phone controller

Instead of pausing the game for everyone while you adjust your character, this can all be done on your phone thus allowing the game play to continue. You also don't have to have multiple controllers on hand as anyone can download the app to their phone and are ready to play. See More

Top Con

Cellphone connection drops

The phone connection constantly drops, making the game barely playable, which is frustrating. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Genre:Tactics RPG

Co-Op:Local

Top Pro

Fun turn based combat

Combat is turn based, with players taking their turn simultaneously. This allows for more strategy than the normal button mash style of ARPGs. It also makes it more accessible to newer gamers. See More

Top Pro

Individual storylines

This game is made for co-op, definitely not single player. Each player has their own storylines though (on top of the main quests) that are private to them. Sometimes players can have secret quests that are competing. How much information you choose to share with your allies is up to you. This style of play is only possible because of the cell phone controller mode. See More
