Easy to play and fun for everyone
Jackbox games are fun break when your hangouts start to feel stale.
Playing it safe
If needed, recent Jackbox titles have special settings that you can activate in the game's lobby menu before you start a round. Our games are rated T for Teen, but if you turn on the family-friendly setting, suggestive prompts and content will be filtered out of the game.
Some titles also allow for someone to join the game as a moderator to review player-created content before it appears on the screen.
Want to really make sure player-created content is as safe as possible? Turning on profanity filtering and setting it to the "Strict" setting will reject answers containing profanity.
Choosing your game
Most of our games support 1-8 players. If you have a bigger group, any additional players can join as an audience via a web-enabled device and take different actions to influence the outcome of the game. You can find a guide to choosing the best game for your group size here. You can learn more about our recommended games for larger groups here.
Playing Jackbox games with others remotely is very possible: as a game host, it’s up to you to allow your remote friends to see your game screen. This can be done with a video conference call where you share your screen, or an online live stream. We have a whole page of tips about how to get started: it’s one of those things that may require some thinking the first time, and then you’ll laugh at how easy it was. You’ll laugh, and laugh, until the neighbors grow concerned.
Making your purchase
Jackbox Games titles are released on a variety of digital platforms. You can run our games on PC/Mac desktops or laptops, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PlayStation, iPads, Apple TV, or Amazon Fire TV. You only have to purchase our games once to be able to play them indefinitely. Only one person needs to purchase a game in order for others to join and play along too. Pricing ranges from $9.99-$29.99 per copy.
Most groups prefer to play on computers to allow for both in-person and remote flexibility, and we recommend buying Steam codes for this use case. Steam is a free software you can download after creating an account, and it runs our products like a charm. Learn more about Steam here. Review our system requirements here.
