The Jackbox Party Pack 6 (2019)

I really like the Jackbox series. Just as Knowledge is Power, it is a party game with lots of fun, silly animations and a high replay value.

Unlike Knowledge is Power however, Jackbox is a little bit more versatile. Instead of being bound to your PlayStation and your smartphone, you can now use your phone or your pc/laptop to connect to jackbox.tv, and play. The connection and overall stability of the game is also a lot better.

There are many Party Packs for the Jackbox games. Each pack offers a set of minigames that you can complete with your company of friends or family. Most of them revolve around choosing the funniest answer, predict who might have answered a certain question in a certain way, or, in general, just who made the most ridiculous drawing. Throughout the mini games, players score points, the player with the most points wins. Easy and simple.

Of all the Jackbox Party Packs, I thought this one was a little disappointing.
In this Pack, you can play The Joke Boat, in which you complete lame one liners with your own response. The problem with this game is that the responses never match or resemble any kind of fun. Maybe it is intentional, but when playing with a group, we always skip this one.

Then you have Trivia Murder Party 2, in which you need to complete a series of very hard mini games, and try to stay alive and be the first to escape the mansion. This one is my personal favorite of this Party Pack and we almost only play this game when launching The Jackbox Party Pack 6.

Another lame game, in my opinion, is The Dictionarium, in which you must come up with funny definitions of a certain word. For me/us, this just did not work out and the lolz were nowhere to be found.

Another fun game was Push the Button, a Among Us style mini game, in which you need to complete various mini games and uncover the hidden alien on board. Along with Trivia Murder Party 2, this one was my favorite and we switched back and forth between them.

Lastly, you got Role Models, some kind of personally test in which you create some kind of formula about yourself. This one was the most disappointing and did not offer any fun.

The animations and art style of The Jackbox Party Pack 6 is colorful, jolly and silly. My biggest compliment here, is that all animations and slides within the games, are really fast, keeping the pace of the game at a very healthy levels.

The silly sounds, the jolly music in the background, enhances the experience and lets you have a good time with the game. In the sixth installment in the series, the music and sound in the Trivia Murder Party 2 game, is especially good.

With the right company, I can get aches in my stomach from laughing and I think that The Jackbox Party Packs are the best party games out there by far.

The Jackbox Party Pack 6 was all right, but only two games were fun out of five. Still recommend it though, Trivia Murder Party 2 and Push the Button alone, are worth it.
