You then score points by getting other players and audience members to vote for yours. Then, everyone’s answers are scrambled up and spread across all the players who then have to use those words (plus other words on the screen) to answer “hard-hitting” interview questions. Here, players are asked questions about themselves that are like icebreaker questions for a job interview. The first time I played this game, I wasn’t sold on it, but as we played and saw how it should be played, it became more fun. If it weren’t for the wheel portion of this game, I’d like it a lot more. You can influence it very slightly by how well you do in the trivia rounds, but even then, anyone can win the game depending on the wheel. This part sucks because it determines the winner and is 95% random. The other half sees the players taking turns spinning the titular wheel to gain additional points. This can be a lot of fun despite the fact that several questions will have you guessing and praying. Sometimes you have to select all of the items in a category, other times you have to input something, and others you have to quickly choose between two options based on the question. This is a trivia game that does a great job of mixing things up. Next, we have The Wheel of Enormous Proportions. This was a lot of fun with the limitations merely being that drawing on your phone with a finger can be clumsy. The big difference for this game is that you actually draw two images that are combined to create a 2-frame animation.

Others create their own titles and try to trick others into guessing their title. This is like the classic game Drawful where you’re given a prompt and have to draw a picture to get people to guess the correct answer. The game retails for $29.99 and you can find my thoughts on each game below.įirst, we have Drawful: Animate. As a whole, this isn’t my favorite Party Pack, but there are some really fun games to play with friends and family. The team was kind enough to provide me with a PC review copy so that I could play with some friends online and I wanted to share my thoughts. Jackbox Games recently launched The Jackbox Party Pack 8 on Nintendo Switch, PC/Mac/Linux, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
