Our take on The Jackbox Party Pack 6
The collection trades depth in any one activity for five distinct party formats. That variety means players seeking a focused ruleset or extended progression may find the individual games limited in scope.
What is The Jackbox Party Pack 6?
The Jackbox Party Pack 6 contains five local multiplayer games played through phones, tablets, or computers without extra controllers.
Trivia Murder Party 2 combines trivia with survival minigames for 1-8 players. Dictionarium has players compete to create the funniest definitions for 3-8 players, while Push The Button asks 4-10 participants to discover the aliens. Joke Boat has 3-8 players craft one-liners for a cruise ship talent show, and Role Models is a personality test for 3-6 players. The game is in English only.
