The Jackbox Party Pack for PC and Mac

Software Reviews and Criticism

  Love LOVE IT!

  I have really enjoyed this game every time we have played. I was the first of who I know to get this game, but now has spread like wildfire amongst my friends and family. If I were to follow the chain of friends that told friends, I bet there is at least 10 people that have bought this in the last 2 months. I did have to give it only 4 stars though. It pained me to do that since I love it, BUT we only play Fibbage and Drawful. The other games aren’t very fun and the You don’t know Jack trivia has changed from fun somewhat challenging questions to trival pursuit type questions. Not that I don’t love hard trivia, but it isn’t for everyone. So, for $25 and only 2 games are worth it, I just can’t give it 5 stars. If you are on the fence and can afford the price, its absolutely worth it! (I can’t wait to try the new party pack!)

  Really Fun!

  Really fun set of games. I’ve had You Don’t Know Jack before and had never heard of any of the other games. Decided to buy it and see if they were any good because I enjoyed You Dont Know Jack so much. I was definitely pleased. A lot of fun. Drawful didn’t work at first, only saw blank white screens on all devices. But after submitting a ticket and the team got back to me in record time, the solution was to clear your browser cache/cookies. Or just open up a private browsing mode tab to play drawful. Hope this helps someone in the future.

  Great fun!

  Loved this, used my Windows as the main device on my TV and then others just connected through web browsers on the phones and iPads. Most of these game are much better with at least three players but they are great fun. Also must mention that depending on the speed of your device can affect answer times and how quick your response is registered. Seriously though, can't go wrong with this party set!

  Constant Connection Issues

  My internet connection is awesome to every other website (including the one to type this review). Despite that we were able to play 2 games and since then and we keep getting a ‘cannot connect to server’ message. Yes I tried restarting, different computers, and different networks to no avail. They were fun for the brief moment I could play them. Now I’ve wasted $50 buying a version for the Windows and Microsoft TV and neither works regardless of being at home, work, Starbucks. That leads me to conclude (based on mine and several other reviews) that the issue is Jackbox servers. Get it to work and I’ll redo this review.

  No Regrets On This Purchase

  Seriously, buy this game! I bought it out of whim, really just to play You Don’t Know Jack, but ended up falling in love with Fibbage and Drawful. Those three games alone made purchasing this pack worthwhile. Wordspud and Lie Swatter were just ‘meh'. I ended up playing those two only a couple of times and then switched back over to Drawful and Fibbage. It’s so fun to have a game night and encourage the family to get on their phones. I’ve been recruiting friends and family to buy this only because it really has brought back game night for my close ones and I. The greatest thing about this game is that you only need to purchase and play on one device and everyone can connect with their mobile devices (phones, laptops, tablets) for free and play along. For those complaining about the lack of fullscreen, heads up, there is a fullscreen mode but you have to go into the Help & Options mode in the game to enable it. Game on!
