Jackbox Games has unveiled The Jackbox Party Pack 12, with all five games that will make up this year’s collection. If you’re unfamiliar with the series, Jackbox originally spun out of the classic 1990s quiz game You Don’t Know Jack.
The Party Pack collections have become a staple of game nights with their mix of trivia, creativity, arguments, photo editing, and social guessing games. Only one person needs to own the game, while everyone else can join using phones or other web-enabled devices as controllers.
So, what are the five games in The Jackbox Party Pack 12
We Forgot a Card is a joke-writing and design-focused game for 3-8 players. You’re rushing to an important event, only to discover the greeting card shop has very limited options available. So, you and your friends must create ridiculous greeting cards for strange occasions, competing to come up with the funniest and most heartfelt disasters.
Next, MegaPals is a 3-8 player game. It focuses on how well friends understand one another. You rapidly come up with words and try to predict how your friends think, leading to explosive match-ups.
Debate and Switch supports 2-8 players. It throws players into a town hall-style competition where they must argue for silly positions and convince everyone else to take their side. Light-hearted topics become heated discussions in this one.
Idol Factions is also for 2-8 players. Two teams race against each other to sort a constant stream of answers into the correct categories. You also need to react quickly and communicate effectively while answers keep piling up.
Then there’s Hyperface, a 3-8 player photo-editing game. You either take selfies or use stock photos before stretching, squashing, smudging, yanking, and drawing all over the images. The goal is to answer bizarre prompts, such as your face when you’ve just seen a bear.
The Jackbox Party Pack 12 is launching later this year. It will come to PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Apple TV, iPad, and the Mac App Store.
Now, you might be wondering where Android is on that list? Well, right now, Jackbox hasn’t announced an Android version of The Jackbox Party Pack 12. But since most previous packs are available on Android, chances are high that this one will also come to mobile, but maybe a bit later.
Also, even without a dedicated Android version, you can still participate in matches. You can use Android phones as controllers while another player hosts the game on a supported platform. Check out The Jackbox Party Pack games on the Google Play Store.
