Jackbox Games has returned with its eleventh collection, The Jackbox Party Pack 11. Like previous entries in the party game series, this instalment bundles five separate games designed for group play. There are no remakes or recycled concepts, just entirely new ideas.
Continuing the studio’s near-annual rhythm that has been in place since 2014
The Jackbox Party Pack 11 includes Doominate, Hear Say, Cookie Haus, Suspectives, and Legends of Trivia. Doominate is a writing-based joke game for 3 to 8 players that revolves around deliberately ruining pleasant scenarios in amusing ways.
The structure unfolds across three rounds, starting with players picking from preselected prompts, then moving on to creating their own prompts. It ends with a twist where participants attempt to undo some of the previously ruined ideas by writing new jokes.
Hear Say supports 2 to 8 players and uses sound. Using your microphones, you record sound effects or dialogue prompted by the game. These recordings are then inserted into stock video clips after a vote.
In the first two rounds, each player records one sound. And the final round has players record two sounds, with each video ultimately using three sounds.
Cookie Haus is for 3 to 8 players and takes place in a cookie shop setting. It’s a drawing game where customers submit unusual cookie requests. You respond by choosing a cookie shape, drawing details on it, adding sprinkles, and giving the cookie a name. Once done, two versions are shown side by side and the rest of the group votes on them.
Suspectives is a social deduction game for 4 to 8 players that begins before the match even starts, with players answering surveys. A crime is then generated using those survey responses, and one participant is secretly guilty.
The group examines evidence from the survey answers to uncover the culprit. But one piece of evidence is intentionally misleading and points toward an innocent player.
Lastly, Legends of Trivia supports anywhere from 1 to 6 players. Set in a role-playing inspired fantasy world, it’s a cooperative trivia game. Correct answers translate into attacks against monsters. The objective is to clear levels while earning enough gold to be considered legendary.
