If you find these sorts of games fun then I highly recommend playing Frantics instead. I applaud Jackbox's effort to try something different but when I boot up one of their packs, I'm looking for some game show fun, not a simplistic mini-game. ![]() Honestly, Zeeple Dome is pretty boring and monotonous. It's very simple stuff and the trickiest part is when the aliens turn a certain colour then the player with the same colour must hit them. What is this? The first actual mini-game in a Jackbox Party Pack?! Well, I'll be! Zeeple Dome has you use your device's touch screen to pull back and launch differently coloured folks into aliens.

(Mad Verse City) Zeeple Dome 1 to 6 players In the end, this is a great game that's sure to provide tons of laughs. ![]() During this phase, you can cheer or boo the robot's performance then after, you vote on who was better. Finally, the robots compete in a rap battle with impressive artificial voices that actually read what you wrote. ![]() After that, you write a whole line that rhymes with the previous sentence and you repeat this process until you have a 4 line rap. You're essentially presented with a prompt to fill in a word Mad Libs style then that word becomes part of a sentence. Although I don't usually like these kinds of Jackbox games as they're more about choosing who's funnier as opposed to actual strategy or trivia skills I actually had a good time here. Mad Verse City is yet another one of those popularity contest games which started with Quiplash. (Split the Room) Mad Verse City 3 to 8 players Split the Room trailer → Why wouldn't I use it? Oh, right. Overall, it may seem simple but once you dive into a game, you'll see that Split the Room is as fun as it is challenging. I also enjoyed the goofy feline host of Split the Room and his Rod Serling inspired performance is quite funny to boot. Knowing the people that you're playing with definitely adds a layer of strategy as you can try to imagine what each person will say. I was impressed just how much strategy is required to master this game. The goal is to have your friends answer yes and no as evenly as you can and if you can split the room as well as make players take long to answer your prompt then you maximize your points. The concept here is to fill in a blank within an elaborate scenario in order for it to be as tricky of a proposition as possible. On a positive note, here's Split the Room. v1d30chumz 194-143-137-78 You Don't Know Jack: Full Stream trailer → Now, that's one ambiguously confusing question! (You Don't Know Jack: Full Stream) Split the Room 3 to 8 players There's still fun to be had but Full Stream remains a letdown. Finally, the whole YouTube-style setup presented by the made-up company Binjpipe is almost as annoying as YouTube itself. Next, there is no more wrong answer of the game and the final round is a lot less exciting than it was in the previous game. For starters, it no longer matters how long it takes for you to answer a question because the same amount of money is at stake no matter when you lock your answer in. Therefore, I'm somewhat disappointed with the offering here. The one included in the first pack ( You Don't Know Jack 2015) offered classic gameplay with some fun twists such as the wrong answer of the game. □ You Don't Know Jack: Full Stream 1 to 8 playersĪs a huge fan of You Don't Know Jack ever since the PS1 era, I was delighted to see it return here. │ For your benefit, Video Chums doesn't indiscriminately promote press releases, Kickstarter campaigns, or industry-fed rumours. Instead, let's jump straight to the games! This time around, I won't get into the pack's basic setup because this is my fifth Party Pack review. Has it been another year already? It appears so because Jackbox is back it at with another 5 game bundle. The Jackbox Party Pack 5 is also available for PS4 and Xbox One Maciejewski playing a Nintendo Switch on Octo□
