What is "Jackbox Games"?

Jackbox Games is the party game-making studio best known for hit games like YOU DON’T KNOW JACK, Quiplash, Fibbage, Drawful, Trivia Murder Party, and more! We've worked with educational institutions to help coordinate Jackbox game nights. Some examples of events we've helped support include:

Orientation nights
Dormitory events
Holiday-related student events
Club or organization events

What is a Party Pack?

We make a variety of games designed to appeal to every student in the room, Zoom call, or Twitch stream. Drawing games, writing games, trivia games, hidden identity games… no party-goer gets left behind.

Most of our titles accommodate anywhere between 1-8 players. If you have more students in your group, many of our games allow audience play-along, meaning they can still jump in and be part of the fun!

What makes Jackbox easy to play?

All your students need is a smartphone or web-enabled device! There is no app or additional purchase needed in order for them to play. They only need a mobile device; a way to access the internet; and to be able to see the screen running the game. This makes Jackbox games usable for both in-person and remote events.

Getting Started

We have a variety of tutorials and resources to help set your student game night up for success.

Purchasing

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-$34.99 per copy.

Most student 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.

Email or Google Meet consultation on which games would be best for your event and technical support tips
A guide for hosting our games in a public setting with game recommendations
We'll ship some giveaway codes and merch that you can use as prizes for the winners of each game at the event
A custom discount for Steam codes in our shop just for your students

Student-Friendly Settings

Many of our titles, especially recent ones, 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.

If you're playing with larger audiences, you can find some more tips here.

Still not convinced?

One of the best ways to decide if Jackbox Games titles are right for your students is to watch others play our games.Here are some videos of our games being played by other groups both in-person and remotely.
