Honestly this pack is so much fun for me and my family to play! Dunno why some other reviews may say that the game is terrible, they don’t elaborate or give much info other than the message that they’re hating the game. If you have a party or are streaming this on Twitch, its perfect for everyone to play, since the controllers needed to play are just your phones and tablets. Push the Button is my personal favorite and I’ve had so much fun trying to bluff my way into winning as alien. My only complaint is that Joke Boat is pretty mediocre in its gameplay; we kept getting repeats of joke prompts which made the buildup get old really quick, please add more prompts guys. TL;DR: Great game for get-togethers.
All other games are so much fun! Trivia murder party has become a new favorite amongst friends! But I’m having one problem. The game role models refuses to work. It won’t let any players take or draw a picture before the game begins, and will immediately kick everyone out of the room, and me out of the app when we try to submit an image. We would absolutely love to play this game but there isn’t even an option to play without taking or drawing a picture, and as I’ve said before, refuses to work when we do. Is there any fix to this?
I usually don’t write reviews, but I almost didn’t buy this because of what people wrote about sound and playing with groups remotely, but...I bought it anyway. It worked perfectly! We played over Thanksgiving with family in three states, PA, GA and OR. We played for 3+ hours and it worked with no issues. Sound and connection was great and the games are hilarious. My sides hurt from all the laughing. We used Zoom and it also worked with Facebook video. Totally worth it!
So I was playing these games and it was great until the game role model came around. I was trying to play this next game but for some reason whenever I went to go play the game it would disconnect me and say that the connection has been lost. So 4 out of the 5 games were fun, funny and enjoyable to play but that one game just would not work and I even tried to play on a different device but still I could not get the game role model to work.
Our fam has been playing Jackbox for a long time. We where excited to get the newest version and play over Zoom with our friends during the stay at home order. But sadly the games on this version where lame, slow, and boring compared to others we had played. We thought the dictionary game might be like Balderdash but it wasn’t. I have asked Apple to issue a refund and I hope they do.
It’s the wildest Party Pack yet with five hilarious new games! 1) The popular trivia deathmatch Trivia Murder Party 2 (1-8 players). Try to survive the bizarre new minigames. 2) The weird word circus Dictionarium (3-8 players). May the funniest definition win. 3) The hidden identity game Push The Button (4-10 players) . Can you discover the aliens in time? 4) The comedy contest Joke Boat (3-8 players). Craft one-liners for a cruise ship talent show. 5) The offbeat personality test Role Models (3-6 players). Find out who you really are. (Or at least what your friends think of you.) Play using your phones, tablets or computers. No extra controllers needed!
