The Jackbox Party Packs are a great go-to entertainment source for any gathering. Just one person needs to buy a pack, and then everyone else can join in on the fun via their phones or any other device with a web browser. It's that simple.

With eight fantastic Jackbox Party Packs to choose from, there are now so many different mini-games to try. Some of the games involve drawing, while other games are all about writing the funniest answer. You'll likely have a lot of fun no matter what pack you go for, but what party pack offers the most incredible, most entertaining experience?

Updated January 4, 2022, By Luke Ackroyd: The Jackbox Party Packs are regularly updated and improved over time. Even older packs will get minor, valuable updates. For example, Tee K.O. from Jackbox Party Pack three was given additional colors for you to choose from when crafting your wonderful T-shirt designs. Other games, such as the Quiplash series, will often have more bundles of questions created for you to enjoy with your friends. No matter what Party Pack you have decided to try, you are bound to have a lot of fun.

Each pack has some unique experiences, and they are all worth checking out. There won't be another Party Pack released until far later in the year, but to keep you busy until then, more details have been added to this article ranking every Jackbox Party Pack. It now includes whether a game has a family-friendly mode, whether it can have extended timers to help with online play, and if audiences can participate. Depending on what experience you are after, there will always be a Party Pack that will be the best one for you.

8 The Jackbox Party Pack

The Jackbox Party Pack 1 Cover Art - Lie Swatter Gameplay
Players Audience Family Friendly Mode? Ext Timers?
You Don't Know Jack 1-4 0 No. No.
Drawful 3-8 0 No. No.
Word Spud 2-8 0 No. No.
Lie Swatter 1-100 0 No. No.
Fibbage XL 2-8 0 No. No.

The original party pack has five casual games for you to enjoy. Fibbage is a classic - It involves crafting convincing lies to fool others. Drawful allows everyone to test their drawing skills. Both are great games that will always go down well.

The main issue with this first pack is the lack of variety. You Don't Know Jack and Lie Swatter are two variations on trivia games. Drawful and Fibbage are similar as well. The remaining game, Word Spud, can fall flat at a party. Although the selection of games in this pack can be a lot of fun, you'll get more variety elsewhere.

7 The Jackbox Party Pack 5

The Jackbox Party Pack 5 Cover Art - Patently Stupid Gameplay
Players Audience Family-Friendly Mode? Ext Timers?
You Don't Know Jack 1-8 10,000 Manual Censoring Yes.
Split The Room 3-8 10,000 Yes. Yes.
Mad Verse City 3-8 10,000 Yes. Yes.
Zeeple Dome 1-6 0 Always On No.
Patently Stupid 3-8 10,000 Always On & Manual Censoring Yes.

Jackbox Party Pack 5's games are worth trying at least once. Patently Stupid is the best one. You design silly inventions and pitch them to your friends. You Don't Know Jack returns for more interesting trivia, and Mad Verse City has you crafting lyrics in an epic robot rap battle.

Zeeple Dome is probably the most unique game here. You'll attempt to fling your character around an arena to hit your enemies. It can be chaotic fun, but the fiddly controls can make it quite frustrating. Split The Room has a great theme, but the game doesn't quite hold up. This pack offers some creative experiences, but you'll likely not be rushing back for more rounds of most of the games.

6 The Jackbox Party Pack 6

The Jackbox Party Pack 6 Cover Art - Joke Boat Gameplay
Players Audience Family-Friendly Mode? Ext Timers?
Trivia Murder Party 2 1-8 10,000 No But Removable Prompts Yes
Role Models 3-6 10,000 Yes Yes
Joke Boat 3-8 10,000 Yes Yes
Dictionarium 3-8 10,000 Always On Manual Censoring Yes
Push The Button 4-10 0 Yes No

The Jackbox Party Pack 6 is a bit of a mixed bag. Trivia Murder Party 2 is fantastic - It captures the tone of the previous version well, and its final round has less of a runaway-winner feel to it. Role Models is great for getting to know your friends. Joke Boat is an attempt at a new Quiplash but feels too restrictive. Dictionarium can be enjoyable as you create new words, but it isn't the most exciting game.

Push The Button is one of Jackbox's more ambitious games that takes an alternate approach to Among Us. It is a fun game, but it often comes down to random guesswork when attempting to find out who the aliens are. It is excellent to see Jackbox getting more ambitions with their games, but sometimes simpler ones work best. The pack has some great additions, but some duds too.

5 The Jackbox Party Pack 4

The Jackbox Party Pack 4 Cover Art - Civic Duty Gameplay
Players Audience Family-Friendly Mode? Ext Timers?
Fibbage 3 2-8 10,000 Yes Yes
Survive The Internet 3-8 10,000 Always On Manual Censoring Yes
Monster Seeking Monster 3-7 10,000 No - But You Can Hide Messages Yes
Bracketeering 3-16 10,000 Yes. Yes
Civic Doodle 3-8 10,000 Always On Manual Censoring Yes

The fourth party pack has some fun and creative games within it. Fibbage returns and adds a fantastic 'enough about you' round that makes it more personal to your group. Monster Seeking Monster is a quirky dating game. Survive The Internet relies on your friends giving you good prompts to work with, but with the right group can be hilarious.

Civic Doodle is similar to Gartic Phone in some ways. It isn't the strongest drawing game out of the Jackbox series, but you can get some beautiful creations out of it. Bracketeering can be fun with a big group or an audience to add to the votes but can feel a little repetitive, even with various twists in each round. Overall, this pack has a great selection of games that will keep you coming back.

4 The Jackbox Party Pack 7

The Jackbox Party Pack 7 Cover Art - Champ'd Up Gameplay
Players Audience Family-Friendly Mode? Ext Timers?
Quiplash 3 3-8 10,000 Yes Yes
The Devils And The Details 3-8 10,000 Yes No
Champ'd Up 3-8 10,000 Yes Yes
Talking Points 3-8 10,000 Yes Yes
Blather 'Round 2-6 10,000 Always On Manual Censoring No

The Jackbox Party Pack 7 has some great games. Quiplash returns for its third installment. You get to answer silly prompts with ridiculous answers. Its final round perhaps isn't as strong as Quiplash 2 but is still a hit. Champ'd Up is an incredibly creative take on the classic drawing game formula. This time, you're drawing fighters to go up against one another for random events. It's a fresh take that works well. Blather 'Round is an excellent guessing game too.

Talking Points and The Devils And The Details are probably the weakest in the pack but are still entertaining. Talking Points works best with an outgoing group, eager to give ridiculous presentations. The Devils And The Details can get very chaotic with too many players shouting over one another, but it is a great cooperative experience if you can overcome that. Each game is worth playing.

3 The Jackbox Party Pack 2

The Jackbox Party Pack 2 Cover Art - EarWax Gameplay
Players Audience Family-Friendly Mode? Ext Timers?
Fibbage 2 2-8 10,000 Yes Yes
Earwax 3-8 10,000 Yes No
Bidiots 3-6 0 No No
Quiplash XL 3-8 10,000 Yes Yes
Bomb Corp 1-4 0 No No

This pack has many creative games to play, such as the hectic Bomb Corp. This cooperative game offers a fun challenge that will have you all in a flustered state, but it's incredibly satisfying to pass each level. There is the return of more lies with Fibbage 2. Earwax has you voting on ridiculous sound effects. Bidiots has you competing in an auction over your drawings. Finally, Quiplash XL offers a vast collection of hilarious prompts.

There isn't a miss with this pack. All five games are a lot of fun. Simple concepts that will have everyone laughing throughout.

2 The Jackbox Party Pack 8

Players Audience Family-Friendly Mode? Ext Timers?
Drawful: Animate 3-10 10,000 Yes Yes
The Wheel Of Enormous Proportions 2-8 10,000 Yes Yes
Job Job 3-10 10,000 Yes Yes
The Poll Mine 2-10 10,000 Yes Yes
Weapons Drawn 4-8 10,000 Not Considered Family-Safe Yes

The latest Party Pack has a wonderful selection of games to try. Once again, there is not a single flop in this pack. Drawful: Animate gives a unique twist to the Drawful series but remains a simple, entertaining game. Weapons Drawn is for those that want a more intriguing, complex game that is still easy to grasp after one round. Weapons Drawn is the standout game from this pack.

The Wheel Of Enormous Proportions is silly fun, with plenty of fast-paced trivia involved. Job Job allows you to give ridiculous answers to interview questions. The Poll Mine is a fantastic team game that will get everyone talking. Jackbox Party Pack 8 has a lot of variety, is full of hilarious situations, and is one of the best packs to get.

1 The Jackbox Party Pack 3

The Jackbox Party Pack 3 Cover Art - Tee KO T-Shirt Knock Out Menu
Players Audience Family-Friendly Mode? Extended Timers?
Quiplash 2 3-8 10,000 Yes Yes
Trivia Murder Party 1-8 10,000 No, But Removable Prompts Yes
Guesspionage 2-8 10,000 Yes No
Fakin' It 3-6 10,000 Yes No
Tee K.O. 3-8 10,000 Always On Manual Censoring Yes

The third pack in the series offers some of the funniest game modes. Quiplash 2 is the best version of the Quiplash series. It has a great final round that provides a lot of variety, with acronyms and comic strip prompts. You have trivia covered with the creepy but hilarious Trivia Murder Party. For Drawing, you get Tee K.O. The best drawing game of all the packs, as you compete to be hailed the ultimate t-shirt designer. Guesspionage is an interesting one for strange statistics, and Fakin' It is a fun bluffing game that has you looking away from your screen for once.

The Jackbox Party Pack 3 has a wonderful selection of games, having something for everyone to enjoy. Trivia. Drawing. Deception. Guessing. Comedy. It has it all. They are all fast-paced games, silly and lighthearted, and will have your group eager for round after round.
