Revolution and Jackbox Call on Beer Fans to Choose Your Hero For Game Night
CHICAGO, OCT. 21, 2024 – Revolution Brewing, the largest independent brewer in Illinois, is teaming up with Chicago-based party game developer Jackbox Games to fuel hilarious and Heroic game nights this fall. Starting in October, consumers who purchase specially-marked Hero IPA Variety Packs and upload proof of purchase will receive a free Jackbox Games code for popular offerings including Quiplash, Drawful 2, the newly released Naughty Pack, and more.
“Both Revolution and Jackbox are built for the social moments that bring friends together and offer something for everyone’s varying tastes,” Doug Veliky, Revolution’s Chief Marketing Officer, said. “In the past for our two companies, that’s been the right beer for everyone, or the game that everyone wants to play together. But it’s going to be both, thanks to this team-up. We’re really excited to be part of thousands of boisterous games nights between friends.”
The Hero IPA Variety Pack features choices for beer fans across the IPA spectrum. The 12-pack, introduced in spring 2024, features portfolio-leading Anti-Hero alongside tropical Hazy-Hero, Infinity-Hero’s juicy dry hop profile, and the aromatic, stylish throwback vibes of West Coast-Hero.
Jackbox has hosted over a billion user sessions since its first party pack release in 2014. The games, available on a host of platforms including console, PC/Mac/Linux, and smart TVs and devices, support 1-9 players and up to 10,000 audience members who influence the game’s result. Games are available in English, French, Italian, German, Brazilian Portuguese, and Spanish.
“Nothing gets a party started quite like Jackbox games and our fellow Chicago staple, Revolution Brewing,” Andy Kniaz, Jackbox Games VP of Business Development & International said. “With this
partnership, you’ll have everything you need to be the game night Hero for your loved ones – incredible beer and a hilarious game night all in one box!”
The free Jackbox party game promotion begins in October as Hero IPA Variety 12-packs featuring the Jackbox logo make their way into distribution throughout Revolution’s footprint. The promotion will run through the end of 2024. A full overview of the Revolution/Jackbox partnership is available at [TK URL].
