The Werewolf can turn other players into werewolves by dating them on nights with a full moon. The twist, however, is that each player is a monster in disguise and has a secret power. If you both pick each other, score! You get a heart added to your tally. At the end of the messaging period, each player picks the other player who they want to date. It’s split up into 6 nights, and each night players send messages to each other from their devices. Perhaps the most unique game of the pack, Monster Seeking Monster has you sending messages to other players in hopes of getting a date. The secret powers in “Monster Seeking Monster” can drastically change the outcome of the game. This makes the socially awkward “Todd,” host of Survive the Internet, more interesting and endearing than many of the other games’ hosts. It’s presented as a broadcast of the host’s laptop, and you’ll often get a peek at the icons on his desktop, his chat messages with his mom, and his search history. The presentation of “Survive the Internet” is one of the best parts of the game.
Points are given for the “Best Burn,” and “pity points” are handed out to the player who gets “burnt.” This ended up being one of my favorite games in the pack because of how ridiculous things can get. The comments are then shuffled up, and another player gets to write the content to which the other player is replying. To start, each player writes a comment on a website, including social networks, forums, shopping sites, and news articles. The first is Survive the Internet, best described as a game where you take your friends out of context to make them look ridiculous. You’ll get taken wildly out of context in “Survive the Internet.” Survive the InternetĪlthough Fibbage 3 is a sequel, the rest of the games in Party Pack 4 are refreshingly original. This mode seemed to work best when the players were at least somewhat familiar with each other. This mode is a welcome wrinkle to the Fibbage formula, and brought a lot more laughter than the standard game in my experience. The prompts ask things like “a food you’d never eat,” or “the punchline to your favorite joke.” Other players then provide their own lie, and try to guess the truth. The third Fibbage doesn’t stray too far from the formula of previous iterations, but it has yet to outwear its welcome.įibbage 3: Enough About You is a new mode introduced in Fibbage 3 that gives the game more of a personal touch. But whether it’s with friends, family, or strangers, Fibbage is always fun. As with many of the other games, the experience can vary wildly depending on who you play it with. The game’s correct answers are always crazy and hard-to-believe, meaning that it’s always a challenge to guess the right answer. Points are rewarded for guessing correctly, and for coming up with prompts that fool the other players. Once all the answers are in, they are shown on-screen and the players try to guess the correct answer. The game provides a fill-in-the-blank prompt, and each player enters an answer from their device. Fibbage 3įibbage is an old Jackbox standby by now. “Fibbage” prompts are outlandish and wacky, with lots of room for creative answers.
Jackbox Party Pack 4 excels in its audiovisual presentation, exuding a fantastically offbeat attitude and sense of humor that draws you in. Each game features its own distinct flavor, with slick visual flair, catchy music, and a host providing voice-over narration and directions to the players. The games themselves are only half of the formula. And if you have more than 8 people, a large number of players can also “join the audience” to put in their own votes. It’s difficult to describe, but when you see it play out in a room full of people you’ll instantly “get it,” and start reaching for your own phone so you can join in next round. Each player inputs their responses (votes, answers, and drawings) on their own device, and the action plays out on the main screen. If you’re unfamiliar with the series, here’s a quick overview: each Party Pack contains 5 different party games for 3-8 players who join in using their own device as a controller. And fortunately, this fourth entry may be the strongest collection of games yet! Overview
FIBBAGE GAME JOINS SERIES
I’ve spent a lot of time playing previous Jackbox Games with friends and family, so I was excited to see how the latest entry in the series held up. Instead of controllers, players use their own phones or tablets to input answers to prompts and try to get the most points, or the most laughs. What we have here is not a traditional video game. The Jackbox Party Pack 4 is the latest party game collection from the fabulous folks at Jackbox Games.
