The Jackbox Party Pack App Reviews

Loads of fun, but missing 2 crucial elements: 1. AirPlay 2. native companion app

I have been looking for these games for a long time! I really wish it had built in airplay support but with simply using the Airplay mirroring I can get it to my tv with almost as awsome picture. Thanks guys!

This game gives hours of fun with lots of questions to answer. I recommend that if you are looking for a game to play with a group of people, try this and you will not regret it!. The only suggestions I have is to allow full screen. I did also have a few bugs that caused me to have to restart the game a couple of times, but nothing serious.

Difficulty getting people connected. White (blank) screens with little to no support. Good concept - bad execution...

I run the game and it just never connects to the server. I’ve even gone and turned off my firewall, and still nothing. Buyer beware until they get this fixed.

This is a good group of games - epecially if you have an ATV to AirPlay to. Good games, and the phone and tablet connectivity seems to work well.

These games are great for parties! Players using their mobile phones as controllers works well.

I wrote a review previously that Drawful was not working. I’m happy to report that it is now! Highly recommend this app!

Latest OS version. More than capable hardware. Good internet connection. Ticket submitted. I will update my review if corrected in a timely manner.

Really fun set of games. I’ve had You Don’t Know Jack before and had never heard of any of the other games. Decided to buy it and see if they were any good because I enjoyed You Dont Know Jack so much. I was definitely pleased. A lot of fun. Drawful didn’t work at first, only saw blank white screens on all devices. But after submitting a ticket and the team got back to me in record time, the solution was to clear your browser cache/cookies. Or just open up a private browsing mode tab to play drawful. Hope this helps someone in the future.

I love the new games! I’ve run into some issues where the points don’t update in fibbage (which is, by far, the best game) and I wish it would go full screen. But besides that, seriously fun!

Loved this, used my Mac as the main device on my TV and then others just connected through web browsers on the phones and iPads. Most of these game are much better with at least three players but they are great fun. Also must mention that depending on the speed of your device can affect answer times and how quick your response is registered. Seriously though, cant go wrong with this party set!

Saw a few episodes of Drawlful on Roosterteeth’s Let’s Play and decided to purchase. Can’t wait to share the amazingness with Friends and Family!

Just a great game and recommended with the Apple TV. A must to have!

Seriously, buy this game! I bought it out of whim, really just to play You Don’t Know Jack, but ended up falling in love with Fibbage and Drawful. Those three games alone made purchasing this pack worthwhile. Wordspud and Lie Swatter were just ‘meh. I ended up playing those two only a couple of times and then switched back over to Drawful and Fibbage. It’s so fun to have a game night and encourage the family to get on their phones. I’ve been recruiting friends and family to buy this only because it really has brought back game night for my close ones and I. The greatest thing about this game is that you only need to purchase and play on one device and everyone can connect with their mobile devices (phones, laptops, tablets) for free and play along. For those complaining about the lack of fullscreen, heads up, there is a fullscreen mode but you have to go into the Help & Options mode in the game to enable it. Game on!

The only two games we really play are Fibbage and Drawful. The rest aren’t that great, but those two are really fun. It’s a shame this app is so inconvenient to use. This game really kills my battery. I never bring my charger anywhere, but I have to remember to bring it if I’m going to be playing these games. My battery life is literally 75% shorter as soon as I open this app (12 hours -> 3 hours). It also doesn’t go full screen. This app really doesn’t feel like a Mac app at all. I’d say it’s worth a buy if your Mac is always plugged into your TV.

The game(s) itself is great - I’ve played it across multiple platforms. My only regret is that the Mac version does not do Full Screen - that would make this 5/5 Stars.

I have really enjoyed this game every time we have played. I was the first of who I know to get this game, but now has spread like wildfire amongst my friends and family. If I were to follow the chain of friends that told friends, I bet there is at least 10 people that have bought this in the last 2 months. I did have to give it only 4 stars though. It pained me to do that since I love it, BUT we only play Fibbage and Drawful. The other games aren’t very fun and the You don’t know Jack trivia has changed from fun somewhat challenging questions to trival pursuit type questions. Not that I don’t love hard trivia, but it isn’t for everyone. So, for $25 and only 2 games are worth it, I just can’t give it 5 stars. If you are on the fence and can afford the price, its absolutely worth it! (I can’t wait to try the new party pack!)

I played Fibbage at a friend’s house recently so I decided to purchase the pack. First, we had no idea how to play Word Spud and found it quite boring. Second, some of the games were glitchy and wouldn’t let people join. You Don’t Know Jack wouldn’t work AT ALL. We tried refreshing, reloading and still wouldn’t let us actually play the game. Lastly, it’s a fun game pack but not worth $25 unless some of the glitches are fixed, and even then I wish it was cheaper. Willy happily update review if fixed!

It wont let me add more than 4 people, and then the four people also cant play because the webpage is not loading in order to start the game. Please fix asap!
