Jackbox Games-Inspired New Year’s Resolutions
Ahead of New Year’s Eve, Jackbox Games wants to help you get a jump start on one of the biggest decisions you’ll have to make in 2019. After all, who better to help you set important life milestones than the creators of Lie Swatter! So, here are our suggestions for your New Year’s resolution based on the games you love and cherish.
Get better at drawing. Sure, you can draw a decent penguin but can you draw a missed high five? This is the perfect year to invest in expensive art lessons, so a sad man in tweed can teach you about cross hatching. Or just grab a copy of Drawful 2! It’s guaranteed to turn you into the speediest doodler this side of the Atlantic Ocean. (Not a guarantee.)
Ask someone out on a date. Need some help mustering up the courage to ask a dreamboat out for coffee? There are dozens of highly disreputable seduction courses anxious to take your cash. But that might conflict with your other New Years resolution to not be a garbage person. Instead, try Monster Seeking Monster. If you can ask a zombie for a date, a human wearing a puffy coat at Starbucks won’t seem scary at all.
Pitch your big idea. Yeah, THAT one. The one that could make you the big bucks if you had the courage to pitch it. The best way to practice this kind of high stakes presentation is to work in your garage, day and night, until you become the CEO of global tech conglomerate. The second best way is to use Patently Stupid. Watch your friends have their lightbulb moment as they realize you’re going to be the “rich friend with a boat” someday.
Be more fashion-forward. In 2019, you’re going to impress upon people that you’re here to Look Good.Sure, you could walk into your local JCPenney and grab literally anything off the rack. (Not to mention the savings!) But, why should THE MAN tell you how to dress. Create your own bold, exciting t-shirts in Tee K.O. that you can order after you play!
Learn more about your inner circle. With big secrets comes great, great power. Hiring a private detective to follow everyone you know at all times is a no-brainer. But for a budget-friendly option, just play Fakin’ It with your friends. You’ll learn about all of the weird facial expressions they make when they are trying to hide theirs!
Our games are on sale now! Pick up a party game or two to enjoy with friends at your New Year’s Eve party.
