Unlike other Jackbox games where you’re often aiming to secure the majority or all votes for your inventive or funny replies, here you want to – as the title suggests – split the room. It’s a neat concept for sure the game focused on players filling in the blanks of a yes or no scenario and then having the rest of the room answer. Split the Room can prove entertaining but rarely in an uncontrollable laughter kind of way.

All in all Mad Verse City is great fun with plenty of style and something that feels unique and unlike anything the series has come up with so far. We found ourselves laughing just as hard at the bad raps, the robots’ voices only serving to make them funnier. With all submissions collected, your robot rappers will each take centre stage to read aloud – in a humorous robot voice – your questionable attempts.Ĭoming up with raps that are amusing, rhyme and possibly take a shot at the opponent can be a tough task but it’s still one that proves funny even if you don’t manage to succeed in all areas. As for lines two and four, well that’s entirely down to you. The first and third line of your rap will be provided by the game with you adding the finishing word to each.
Each round will see pairs of players face off against each other in a short four-line rap battle.
Mad Verse City asks perhaps the most of its participants but the payoff is often worth it. This definitely feels like a more streamlined, tidier You Don’t Know Jack and it’s great to have it back. Even the Screws make a return with a few neat twists that I won’t spoil here. Of course, the questions are the real star of the show though taking standard multiple-choice trivia and rewording them in some truly twisted and often-funny ways.Įven returning fans of the series will find some smart changes implemented in this latest version whether it’s the scoring system, the fact the excellent ‘Dis or Dat’ round now includes all players or the reworked ‘Jack Attack’ finale. It’s the little things like the snide remarks of the host or the fact each question number is sung aloud that have you raising eyebrows and falling in love with the game’s slapstick tone. Where other quizzes can come off as a little dry and serious, You Don’t Know Jack has always embraced the silly.

The formula in You Don’t Know Jack: Full Stream remains largely unchanged players doing their best to answer ten questions all of which are read out by the always-fantastic host Cookie Masterson. It felt good returning to You Don’t Know Jack again, the series my first foray into the wonderful world of Jackbox Games. In fact, it’s this added layer of involvement that elevates Patently Stupid above the rest of the pack and made it a game we found ourselves returning to more so than the others. While the game includes an option to present on your behalf, the end result feels soulless in comparison to watching your friends desperately try to oversell their idea themselves. Each player then presents his or her creations one by one to the rest of the group in the hopes of obtaining their funds (essentially votes) at the end. Your solution will then include a sketch of its design (crudely displayed on a napkin), a name and even a slogan. This could be a problem as simple and understandable as having to wait five minutes for a bus or of course something far more ridiculous like having to look at your husband’s ugly face. The aim here is to come up with a new product that will solve a problem sent by one of the other players. Patently Stupid is a brilliant idea that on several occasions actually had me in tears from laughing so hard. Let’s put each of them through their paces starting with the best and working our way down. The Jackbox Party Pack 5 is the latest compilation, this particular entry perhaps offering the biggest variation between its five games. Experiences that often appeal to a wide audience and at the very least have its players laughing time and time again. Time to break out the phones one more time.įor the last four years (has it really been that long?!) developer Jackbox Games has continued to release their wacky brand of party-focused experiences. Daylight shorter and rarely without rain by its side why is it then that I find myself with such a big smile on my face and tears streaming down my cheeks? That’s right, it’s because I’ve been playing The Jackbox Party Pack 5. With the long, scorching summer now behind us we find ourselves slowly shambling toward the cold and miserable months of autumn.
