Thank you Jackbox Games for sending us a review code!
We have been blessed with the opportunity to review most of the Jackbox Party Pack Games with the exception of the third one. Each party pack is bundled with several quirky minigames that can be enjoyed locally or online. The family favorite, Ear Wax, was featured in the 2nd Party Pack game and has yet to be dethroned several iterations later. This bundle includes five mostly unique games with one contender that can be a new family favorite!
Here’s a breakdown of each mini-game:
Drawful Animate – The drawing guessing game is back, and this time you get to use two frames and animate your prompt-inspired drawings. Since this game relies on bad art to be funny, there is no eraser so draw carefully! Three players are required to get this game going.
Strong Points: Fun and quirky collection of five (mostly original) party games; Streamer and audience options promote online interaction and gameplay
Weak Points: You’ll have to tweak the input timer settings to accommodate for fast and slow typers
Moral Warnings: Language and sexual dialogue can be disabled with the family-friendly mode; some of the games still have cartoon violence
Job Job – This is our favorite game out of the bunch. Since our kids are almost all working age, they can relate to the interviewing process that this game lampoons. Three players are required to launch this game. Each player will be required to answer random questions using at least five words. Those words will be available to all of the players to pick from to answer their interview questions. The player with the most liked responses will get the job.
The Poll Mine – With at least two players you’ll have to answer various poll questions and guess which options are the most and least popular among your friends. Whichever team does better will make it out of the spider’s lair alive.
Weapons Drawn – Four players minimum are required to play this murder mystery game where everyone is both a detective and a murderer. A clue will be left behind at the scene of the crime in the form of a drawing that has a letter from their username hidden in it somewhere. Will you be able to figure out who the murderer is?

The Wheel of Enormous Proportions – We all have questions in life we want answered and this wheel is willing to do that if you can correctly answer some trivia questions of its own. For every correctly answered question, you’ll earn more slices on the wheel which can increase your chances of earning more points. Four players minimum are required to play this game.
Like all Jackbox Party Pack games, players will need internet-connected devices to log onto jackbox.tv to enter their username and game room code. We didn’t experience any connectivity issues while playing so that’s good.
I like how you can set the family-friendly mode in the main menu instead of having to do so in every game. Since we played with that option enabled, we skipped out on the language and sexual dialogue included in the game.
Overall, this is a solid collection of games that adds up to $6 apiece. Unfortunately, you can’t buy them individually, but these packs often go on sale so it’s definitely worth picking up for Job Job alone. You’re bound to get a lot of laughs with this collection so it’s worth Wishlisting on Steam.
