Five party games in one pack
The Jackbox Party Pack collects five games from the makers of YOU DON'T KNOW JACK. YOU DON'T KNOW JACK 2015 is a comedy trivia game with hundreds of all-new questions for 1-4 players. Fibbage XL is a bluffing game with over 50% more questions than the original Fibbage, for 2-8 players. Drawful has you draw on your phone or tablet and guess what everyone drew, for 3-8 players, and it needs very little real drawing skill. Word Spud is a fill-in-the-blank word game you can make as racy as you want, for 2-8 players. Lie Swatter is a wacky-fact game that takes 1-100 players. The pack is in English only.
Phones and tablets are the controllers
Nobody needs a pile of gamepads. Start a game from the in-pack menu, then everyone opens the jackbox.tv web address on their own device and types in the on-screen room code to join. Phones, tablets, or computers all work as controllers. The games are built as same-room multiplayer party games, so the natural setup is one screen with everyone gathered around it.
Playing with friends who aren't in the room
Because players join through a web address, remote friends can play along too. Share your screen on a video call tool such as Zoom, Steam Broadcast, Google Hangouts, or Discord, and watch for the prompts to share audio so everyone hears the game. The host runs the game on their machine while the others connect from wherever they are.
Before you start
Player counts differ per game, so check which one fits your group: Lie Swatter takes the widest range at 1-100, while YOU DON'T KNOW JACK 2015 tops out at 4. Everyone joining needs a web-enabled device, and the pack's games are English only. Pick a game from the in-pack menu, hand out the room code, and you're playing.
