Save your next party! 5 new games in 1 Party Pack: the trivia bluff-off Fibbage 4, the team test Quixort, the joke auction Junktopia, the silly guessfest Nonsensory and the reality TV game Roomerang.
The Jackbox Party Pack 9 includes 5 unique party games that provide a variety of gameplay experiences. Players use their phones or tablets as controllers, allowing for easy setup and accessibility.
In Fibbage 4, players compete in a trivia game with a twist - they must come up with believable lies to trick their friends. The game introduces new features like video questions and a "Final Fibbage" round, further enhancing the classic Fibbage gameplay loop of bluffing and identifying the truth.
Quixort challenges players to work together in teams, rapidly sorting trivia answers into the correct order before time runs out. Reviewers found this game to encourage engaging discussion and critical thinking as players analyze information and strategize with their teammates.
Junktopia transforms players into a frog wizard who has turned people into strange objects. Players must create amusing backstories for these bizarre items and then convince others to bid on them at an auction. Reviewers praised the game's creativity and the satisfying feeling of having one's "junk" appraised for high value.
In Nonsensory, players describe various concepts on a silly scale, from "potato" to "TV remote," and then attempt to accurately guess where another player's submission falls on the scale through creative means like writing and drawing. Reviewers found this game to be unique and engaging, encouraging players to express their creativity.
Roomerang adopts a "reality TV show" theme, where players take on personas and answer prompts to avoid being voted out. Even when eliminated, players continue to participate by rejoining the game with a new persona. Reviewers highlighted Roomerang's engaging narrative elements, the fun of roleplaying, and the dramatic moments that can arise from the voting and elimination mechanics.
