Finding a game that everyone from your teenage cousin to your grumpy uncle can enjoy is usually a nightmare. But if there is one franchise that consistently manages to bring the room together without ending in a Monopoly-style board flip, it is Jackbox.
Jackbox Games has just dropped the gameplay trailer for The Jackbox Party Pack 12, launching globally on October 15 for US$29.99.
Five New Games to Test Your Friendships This year’s collection features five brand-new games designed for 2 to 8 players. If you enjoy getting creative, We Forgot a Card has you designing ridiculous greeting cards for very weird occasions. For the argumentative types, Debate and Switch will see you defending wildly silly opinions in a town hall format.
Trivia fans can jump into Idol Factions, a fast-paced team game where you race to sort answers into the correct categories. If you prefer word games, MegaPals tests how well your brain connects with your friends through speed-based guessing. Finally, there is Hyperface, a photo-editing game where you warp selfies to match bizarre prompt, because who does not want to see their friend’s face squashed beyond recognition?
Where to Play The best part about Jackbox remains its accessibility. You do not need multiple controllers; everyone just uses their phone or tablet to play along. The Jackbox Party Pack 12 will be available across PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Apple TV, iPad, and the Mac App Store.
