The Jackbox Party Pack, a massive 5-game collection of party games perfect for the upcoming season of holiday parties and gatherings, is available now for PC (via Steam). The Jackbox Party Pack is the studio’s biggest stab yet at cornering the party game market. Coming on the heels of their recent hit release, Fibbage: The Hilarious Bluffing Party Game, the Party Pack builds on the company’s unique play-with-your-phone technology. Players don’t need individual controllers to play, just an Internet-connected device, such as a smartphone or tablet.
The five party games in the pack are: YOU DON’T KNOW JACK 2015, Fibbage XL, Drawful, Word Spud and Lie Swatter. YOU DON’T KNOW JACK 2015 is the latest in the company’s long-running series of twisted comedic trivia and features hundreds of all-new questions. Fibbage XL builds on the popular Fibbage: The Hilarious Bluffing Party Game. It features all the questions in the original game plus, by popular demand, a sizeable batch of brand-new questions (over 50% more). Drawful is a new drawing game that puts a bizarre and laugh-inducing twist on classic drawing games, letting players “draw” on their phones or tablets. Word Spud is a battle of wits to finish partially-formed words, allowing players to customize the raunchiness level of the game to their liking. And Lie Swatter has thousands of funny, unusual trivia bits that players are asked to identify as true or false.
To access the Party Pack from their devices, players are prompted to log in (using smartphones, tablets, even laptops) via the game’s jackbox.tv website and are provided a room code to join the game. This easy-in, controller-free mode of play has actually sparked a series of Fibbage games streamed via Twitch™, with players around the country joining and playing the host’s game remotely. Jackbox expects much of the same with this pack. The Jackbox Party Pack is available now on PC via Steam for $24.99.
