It’s the wildest Party Pack yet, with the absurd deathmatch Trivia Murder Party 2, the weird word circus Dictionarium, the hidden identity game Push The Button, the comedy contest Joke Boat and the offbeat personality test Role Models.
In Trivia Murder Party 2, players answer trivia questions, and those who get a question wrong must compete in a "killing room" mini-game to avoid elimination. The game continues until only one player remains alive, who then competes in a final trivia round against the eliminated players (now ghosts). Reviewers praise the sequel's improvements, such as more varied trivia questions and mini-games, which heighten the game's engaging mix of trivia and unpredictable, humorous "murder" theme.
Dictionarium challenges players to write definitions, synonyms, and sentences for made-up words. Reviewers report that this simple premise leads to creative and humorous exchanges, especially when playing with friends who enjoy dumb humor. While some find the game somewhat short-lived, the opportunity for player creativity makes it an enjoyable addition to the party pack.
In Push The Button, some players are secretly "aliens" trying to blend in with the "human" players. Players must complete prompts, and the aliens aim to provide answers that will deceive the humans, who must then identify the aliens before they are "pushed out the airlock." Reviewers overwhelmingly praise this game, citing its engaging gameplay, well-designed mechanics, and ability to create tense, interactive experiences for players.
Joke Boat challenges players to write punchlines to fill-in-the-blank joke setups, which are then presented to the group for voting. Reviewers have mixed opinions on this game, with some finding the humor consistently entertaining and others feeling that it can be hit-or-miss depending on the group. The game's structure of providing templates and requiring specific words or phrases in the punchlines is seen as both a strength, fostering creativity, and a weakness, limiting player expression.
In Role Models, players assign their friends to various roles, characters, or descriptors, and the game then provides a summary of each player based on these choices. Reviewers note that this game works best with groups who know each other well, as the humor and insights come from understanding the personalities of the other players. While not universally praised, Role Models is seen as a unique and sometimes insightful addition to the party pack.
