    Jackbox Party Pack 3
    The best pack so far
    Jackbox party pack 3 much like the others is played with phones rather than controllers, and this is my favorite pack of the original 3 so far.. Much ike party pack 2 I highly recommend playing with at least 4 players im gonna start with my least favorite gamein the pack.. Tee KO.. you each draw random things and come up with random slogans…    Jackbox Party Pack 3

    Much ike party pack 2 I highly recommend playing with at least 4 players
    im gonna start with my least favorite gamein the pack.. Tee KO.. you each draw random things and come up with random slogans… this can be full of plaughs as you pair random drawings with random slogans.. all probably super inappropriate, and then vote on the favorite shirt.. and really this one just isn’t fun.. this gae asks too much of you.. you do have an option for the game to tell you what to draw, but I feel this should be the default so the tees don’t turn into a bunch of penis pictures
    the next pretty okay game is guesspionage where you guess what percentage of people do this or that, and then the other players guess if the actual perecentage is higher or lower… pretty basic, decently fun random trivia, but the remaining 3 games in this pack can be an absolute plast, theres quiplash 2, and or that reason there is no reason to buy party pack 2, the sequel is right here, its better as you can put in your own fill in the blanks, but once again your job is to fill in the black with the best thing you can come up with, funny or not and get the most votes, but I personnaly feel depending on how well you do in the other games, quiplash can turn into politics rather than whos actually came up with the best answer, that’s the problem playing with fewer people, it can just be too easy to pick out who said what… then theres the best 2 games introduced ti the party pack family, fakin it where one player is the faker, you all get a prompt on the screen to hold up fingers for how many times this or that has happened to you, or raise your hand if you ever did this, but the faker has no idea what they are raising their hand for, or why they are pointing to this player or that player, fill in the blank when you gave totally different questions… this can easily be the most fun game with a group of people in all of the jackbox party pack games… and finally there is trivia murder party…. Will this game eventually get boring?
    Yes, but it’s a long time full of multiple rounds before this happens, the goal is to escape live, answer trivia, and whoever gets it wrong has to battle it out in a mini game for their life, you if lose youre murdered and your only chance of survival is escaping in the final round, when your ghostly spirit can steal the body of the remaining alive player…
    Overall I reallu loved Jack Box Party 3 and of the first 3 games, if you have Party Pack 1 and 3, youll keep you and friends entertained for days..
    I give Jackbox Party Pack 3

    The best of the party packs. TKO is da best. Trivia murder party is great. Guesspionage is lame though.

    Fantastic bunch of hilarious games for parties (or anytime there are 4 or more people in a room). Everyone uses a smartphone or tablet as a controller, so it’s easy to get non-gamers to play! All games support 8 players, except for Fakin’ It which caps it at 6. However, anyone else in the room can join in by being part of the “audience”, who gets to participate in most games by voting forFantastic bunch of hilarious games for parties (or anytime there are 4 or more people in a room).

    Quiplash 2: This is one is 100% about being funny. No game has made me laugh more.
    Laughs: 10/10
    Competition: 8/10

    Fakin’ It: This is the most difficult to grasp in terms of rules. You actually have to point and raise hands and fingers IRL, not just using your phones. However, it’s incredibly clever and a blast to play once everyone catches on.
    Laughs: 6/10
    Competition: 9/10

    Guesspionage: For fans of Family Feud. You guess what percentage of people gave a specific answer in a survey. Then everyone else says if you were too high or too low. Fun game, but don’t expect frequent chuckles.
    Laughs: 2/10
    Competition: 7/10

    Trivia Murder Party: This is my all-around favorite. A hilarious, sadistic voice is holding you all hostage and killing you off one by one as you fail at trivia, drawing, dice rolls, anything. It’s like a really dark, actually-enjoyable Mario Party for 8 players.
    Laughs: 9/10
    Competition: 10/10

    Tee K.O.: This is the weak entry. Everyone draws random drawings and writes random phrases. There are no prompts, so this will test everyone’s improv abilities. Then other people make shirts by combining those. So Person A submits a shirt with Person B’s drawing and Person C’s subtitle. It’s an okay premise. But then you vote on which shirts are best. This is where the game really suffers. You can vote for your own shirt if you want (so you probably will). Two shirts go head-to-head and the loser is replaced with a “New Challenger”. This usually leads to the new shirts being picked each time because of the novelty factor. But there is no point system, and those who drew the winning shirt or wrote the winning quote don’t get credited, it’s just the person who slapped two of them together who wins. It was a pretty unfulfilling game.
    Laughs: 5/10
    Competition: 0/10

    TL;DR: Quiplash 2 is a must. Trivia Murder Party is an incredible Mario Party for Adults. Fakin’ It is complex, but worth it. Guesspionage is a thinker’s game. Tee K.O. is very poorly executed.    … Expand

    One of the best Jackbox packs so far, and way better than 1 and 2.

    Quiplash 2 (3-8 Players, Optional Family Friendly Filter): The sequel that was already a masterpiece returns with even more great features. Now having manual censoring and the ability to create your own prompts, and an upgraded aesthetic, Quiplash just got even better. Final Rating: Good Trivia Murder Party (1-8    One of the best Jackbox packs so far, and way better than 1 and 2.

    Quiplash 2 (3-8 Players, Optional Family Friendly Filter): The sequel that was already a masterpiece returns with even more great features. Now having manual censoring and the ability to create your own prompts, and an upgraded aesthetic, Quiplash just got even better. Final Rating: Good

    Trivia Murder Party (1-8 Players, Inherently Family Unfriendly): Trivia questions with an amazing twist. All the fun questions and even better minigames make a supposedly "scary" game lots of fun. Final Rating: Good

    Guesspionage (2-8 Players, Optional Family Friendly Filter): The only "meh" game in this pack. Everyone tries to guess created percentages whiel others predict if the guess is higher or lower than the actual percentage. My biggest issue is that the percentages are bogus, which is why playing with a large audience is highly recommended. Final rating: Okay

    Fakin' It (3-6 Players, Optional Family Friendly Filter): A social deception game about blindly responding to given prompts and trying to convince the other players that you're not the "faker." It's great fun making up super random and weird stories to try to keep yourself undercover. Final Rating: Good

    Tee K.O. (3-8 Players, Inherently Family Friendly): The drawing game in Jackbox 3, and my personal favorite. Everyone takes time making multiple drawings of whatever they want, as well as creating slogans/phrases. When everyone's finished, players get random Drawings/slogans and create their best T-Shirt out of their options. They then go head-to-head in a gauntlet-style battle. The best part about this game is that you can ORDER the T-shirts you create. That is amazing. Final Rating: Good

    Overall, this pack is awesome. It has the near-perfect mix of amazing party games everyone will enjoy.

    Jackbox Games is doing a great job creating unique card games that have massive streaming potential, but they must make fundamental changes to the way the streaming works. Until then stick with playing locally - if YOU can!

    On the whole, Jackbox Party Pack 3 has a stronger collection of games than each of its predecessors, making it the best one to buy if you’ve never tried them before. It’s just a shame that you can’t buy the majority of games from previous packs separately as add-ons.

    There's a lot of value here for the price, and even if you could buy each of these games separately for five bucks apiece, I'd still recommend picking up all of them. You'll need to invite at least three friends over to get the most out of these games, but if you have the means and the opportunity, you'll get way more than your money's worth out of The Jackbox Party Pack 3.
