The Jackbox Party Pack 7

The JACKBOX PARTY PACK 7 continues along the well-worn path established by its predecessors, providing a handful of games and activities for groups of three or more players. Each player needs a handheld device (phone, tablet, etc.) with a web browser. Once a game has been chosen, a four letter code is provided that players must enter on the jackbox.tv website in order to join the game on their device. The games are designed to inspire creativity and funny interactions between players. For example, Blather 'Round sees one player selecting words from a limited, random list in an attempt to provide useful hints to the rest of the group to help them guess a subject from pop culture, such as Tinkerbell or Game of Thrones. Quiplash 3 involves filling in blanks in simple sentences to make them funny, then having the rest of the group vote on which is wittiest. Talking Points has players ad-libbing a presentation with pictures and a handful of talking points based on topics created by other players. A cooperative game called The Devils and the Details is probably the most complex of the bunch, with players taking on the roles of a family of cartoon devils attempting to live like humans. Each player tries to earn points for the team by selecting tasks that may involve memory, tapping and swiping on cue, or verbally cooperating with other players. The fifth and final game, Champ'd Up, makes players draw simple little characters on their screens using their fingers, then pits the drawings in competition with each other to vie for made-up titles, such as Most Intimidating. Each game is quick, self-contained, and has content settings that allow players to filter out any content that might be considered inappropriate for younger players.
