    Jackbox Party Pack 5 is another great bundle. Solo partiers won’t find much to do here (playing You Don’t Know Jack against A.I. is a heartbreaking thought experiment), but scrounge up a group and you’re good to go.

    It's not quite as good a package as my favorite Jackbox Party Pack, but in my opinion, Party Pack 5 is much better than last year's offering. None of the games seem to be here just to fill out the pack. If you're looking for something to do with a group over the upcoming holidays, there's plenty in Party Pack 5 to keep a whole bunch of people engaged and laughing for hours.

    The Jackbox Party Pack 5
    One of the best party packs of all time
    Like every other party pack, party pack 5 comes with 5 games that ar best    The Jackbox Party Pack 5
    One of the best party packs of all time
    Like every other party pack, party pack 5 comes with 5 games that ar best played with at the very least 3 people, and you all use your phones instead of contollers. And Party Pack 5 contians probably the best game to date.
    Incuded in this package is one of the 2 weaker games, you don’t know jack, blah blah blah boring trivia game im over it, but Jackbox gotta have at least one every pack… then we have the most thought provoking game so far, split the room.. here you come up with conundriums and try to.. you guessed it.. split the room… you don’t want a question with an obvious answer, you want to create dilemmas, and the bigger the crowd the better this game gets.. then we have what is probably my most favorite jack box game since fakin it… made verse city.. youre robots.. sadly you ont get to choose your robot, but none theless you are robots rap battling eachother, and for the firt time ever the game will say what you type, so youll be swapping words and lines and come up with a way to turn different topics into a rap dissing your opponent and everyone around votes on the best, again the more players the better, and I just absolutely love this one, then we have one of the worst jackbox games of all time, zeeple dome.. you fling little dudes around at aliens on your phone.. an attempt at an actual game.. I would’ve preferred the team developed a candlyand like boardgame instead, this aint it… and finally we have patently stupid, you choose a problem another player has, you draw the invention, give a presentation, and other players vote on the best presentation, again the more players the better, it’s a game where you get to draw and those are alwys fun.
    Party Pack 5 is a msut have in your jackbox and party game collection, it just is.. even if just for split the room and mad verse city, make sure you pick this one up

    Almost as good as party pack 3. Zeeple dome is something nobody asked for though. :(

    The Jackbox Party Pack 5 is OKAY. There's not much that stands out to me, and there's only two games I'd consider "good."

    You Don't Know    The Jackbox Party Pack 5 is OKAY. There's not much that stands out to me, and there's only two games I'd consider "good."

    You Don't Know Jack: Full Stream (1-8 Players, Inherently Family Unfriendly): Although being the mascot of Jackbox games, the game really isn't that good. I feel like the You Don't Know Jack franchise has been carried out for too long and has lost its charm. The questions are pretty funny, and the dialogue is funny too, but overall, there's not enough to it. Final Review: Okay

    Split the Room (3-8 Players, Optional Family Friendly Filter): This Jackbox game is an example of an idea that sounds cool at first, and is, but gets boring quickly. Players create hypothetical scenarios and try to get a split vote in yes/no answers. It starts out great, but doesn't great for too long. Final Review: Okay

    Mad Verse City (3-8 Players, Optional Family Friendly Filter): This game is about creating raps that go against each other in 1 on 1 battles, and it's done well. Some raps are mic-dropping, and others are hilarious. It's a fun time. Final Review: Good

    Zeeple Dome (1-6 Players, Inherently Family Friendly): Honestly, I am probably the only person in existence who actually enjoys Zeeple Dome. It's basically Angry Birds; you just fling yourself at enemies. I just think it's neat. Final Review: Good

    Patently Stupid: (3-8 Players, Inherently Family Friendly): This would've been an amazing game if the final round didn't exist. There's just no point. It takes way too long. The game's about creating inventions to weird player-made problems, but the final round is completely unnecessary. Final Review: Okay

    Overall, Jackbox 5 is alright. The main problem is that there's really only one game that everyone would enjoy, that being Mad Verse City. Aside from that, there's not too much to it.

    Final Score: 7/10    … Expand

    Patently Stupid carries this pack. Mad verse city is alright, as is you don't know jack and split the room. (We don't talk about Zeeple Dome)
