Each player is asked to complete a problem statement and then have to create a drawing, a title and a tagline for a solution.
Patently Stupid – this mode is as close as you’ll get to the classic charms of Drawful but, much like Jackbox Party Pack 3‘s T-Shirt mode, this has some extra depth. The only downside however was that the music would sometimes fail to load and would then finish the game which was annoying when you’ve got a particularly dope lyric written and ready to unleash. It works brilliantly and creates a ton of scope for players to be funny and also target their humour at each other. Then your robot and that of the another player will spit those rhymes, MC Hawking style, at each other. The third and fourth lines then follow the same pattern. The game will first ask you for a word which will complete a line, then you write a second line that rhymes with the first. In this game, each player writes rap lyrics that are then delivered by large battling robots. It’s definitely up there with Drawful and Quiplash and it maybe has the most interesting premise of any of the mini-games on offer.
Mad Verse City – this mode may well be the best Jackbox mode ever. It’s good, and we enjoyed the weird cast host and odd Twilight Zone style presentation, but when it was over we were ready to move onto the next mode. Split the Room works well but by tempering the players the way it does, it also tempers the laughs a little. So a super funny answer might get a landslide of votes but that’s not what you want. You then give an alternative answer and the other players have to choose between them but you get more points if you split the room. This mode gives each player a scenario with a choice and one answer. Split the Room offers players a reason to rein back those instincts and instead play a more cerebral game. Split the Room – your mileage may vary but for us, Jackbox has always been about trying to be funny or offensive or both. It might not end up being a party favourite but if you’re after a silly quiz game, this is well worth its inclusion in the pack. This mode benefits from the best presentation in the game with plenty of voice recordings and bits of music to complement the on-screen action. You Don’t Know Jack – the original mode, the Jack in Jackbox, is back and offers several rounds of unusual quiz action.
BEST JACKBOX PARTY PACK 5 SERIES
This pack is presented much the same as the other titles in the series with the usual funny US game show style commentary and bright and bold graphics. A few randoms from the internet also caught the stream and ended up diving in for a few games too. So yesterday I assembled the writing team together, and a few extra friends, and we had a major session on the game.

However, you can also stream over Twitch directly from the PS4 and people can join in remotely, albeit with a bit of Twitch lag.

Either way, you’ll have a lot of fun in a room full of people with this series. We’ve had quite a few nerdy meet ups over the years and the Jackbox games are always the highlight of any gaming get together and while these sessions usually head towards trying to be as funny and offensive as possible, the joy of Jackbox is to play the games with a sense of whimsy. Typically the packs are comprised of five or so mini-games, usually a mix of drawing games, writing games and quizzes. If you’re not familiar with the Jackbox Party Pack series from Chicago-based devs Jackbox Games, they are packs of mini-games that are started up and hosted on your PS4 but then players join in via their mobile phones or tablets.
