What is The Jackbox Party Pack 8?

This multiplayer party pack has five separate games. Players animate drawings, answer trivia, build job-interview answers from other players’ words, guess how a group ranked survey choices, and draw clues while investigating murders. Players join through web-enabled devices; remote groups use a separate video call or screen share.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy switching between trivia, drawing, and deduction games
  • +you want lighthearted games for family or group gatherings

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer playing alone rather than gathering a group
  • −you want built-in online matchmaking for remote play
