    Jackbox 6 is a solid pack with some decent new games, as well as my favorite Jackbox game of all time.

    Trivia Murder Party 2 (1-8 Players, Inherently Family Unfriendly): The fun-packed trivia deathmatch from Jackbox 3 has returned, and it's my favorite Jackbox game ever. Really. The new minigames, the modern settings, the great soundtrack, everything about TMP2 is awesome. Final Review:    Jackbox 6 is a solid pack with some decent new games, as well as my favorite Jackbox game of all time.

    Trivia Murder Party 2 (1-8 Players, Inherently Family Unfriendly): The fun-packed trivia deathmatch from Jackbox 3 has returned, and it's my favorite Jackbox game ever. Really. The new minigames, the modern settings, the great soundtrack, everything about TMP2 is awesome. Final Review: Good

    Role Models (3-6 Players, Optional Family Friendly Filter): Role Models is a game about stereotyping your friends. It's fun, though. A lot of people get turned away because of the official reviews and descriptions of the game, but it can be very fun. Final Review: Good

    Joke Boat (3-8 Players, Optional Family Friendly Filter): Joke Boat is about making corny jokes from weird presets and presenting them in front of everyone else. It would be really good and fun besides the fact that there are barely any joke presets, which make the game get boring, quick. It's alright, overall. Final Review: Okay

    Dictionarium (3-8 Players, Inherently Family Friendly): Dictionarium was a good idea in theory, but didn't have enough to attract me. It's about creating definitions of fake words with random letters. It's just kinda boring. It's a meh game. Final Review: Okay

    Push the Button (4-10 Players, Optional Family Friendly Filter): A social deception game, Push the Button involves finding the identity of the hidden aliens amongst your ship. In a 10 player game, there are 3 aliens and 7 human. The goal of the humans is to successfully identify and jettison the aliens, while the goal of the aliens is to stay undercover by hacking the other humans to make them look suspicious and hacking other aliens to make them look safe. It has SO MUCH potential. The biggest issue is how imbalanced the chances of each side winning are. If tutorials are enabled, it's really easy for the humans because the alien hacks are held off until quite a while in the game. On the other hand, if tutorials are disabled, it's really easy for the aliens because they can use hacks immediately. Final Review: Okay

    My biggest complaint about Jackbox 6 is that there was no drawing game, which is such a missed opportunity. Overall, it's a pretty decent pack. Nice job, Jackbox.    … Expand

    The Jackbox Party Pack 6 brings with it four new games and the sequel to Trivia Murder Party. It’s more polished than the previous releases on launch, but none of the new games are particularly great.

    Jackbox games have always had a very specific brand of humor that is just plain weird. I don’t mean that in a bad way; I mean that in the wacky, endearing definition of the word. While it is this off-the-way, non-sequitur humor that drives it, but the accessibility of Jackbox Party Pack 6 has something for everyone across a broad audience.

    The Jackbox Party Pack 6 continues Jackbox's streak of funny, low-key party games without deviating much from their established formula. If you're looking for something fun to do with a group for a couple of hours, you can't go wrong with one of the Jackbox Party Packs. There aren't really any experimental games like Zeeple Dome from last year's collection, but there's plenty worth playing in this year's Pack.
