    Jackbox Party Pack 5 can be seen as a bit of a course correction after its disappointing predecessor. Though I doubt anything will ever outdo Quiplash in terms of pure fun and replayability, most of the games here are quality Jackbox creations. Some of them could use refining, and I can only see Zeeple Dome appealing to kids, but as a whole, this is a solid addition to the Jackbox repertoire and is sure to elicit plenty of laughs each time you boot it up.

    Thanks to the randomness ingrained with the other games that ensues no two sessions are alike, we could easily stick to the games we liked and still feel like The Jackbox Party Pack 5 was a great way to spend an evening with friends.

    Lingering issues aside, The Jackbox Party Pack 5 provides some great Party Pack games, with Split the Room, Mad Verse City, and Patently Stupid standing out as especially entertaining.

    Jackbox Party Pack 5 is likely going to be one of our staple party games from now on and is a great addition to the series.

    It’s nearly Christmas, and if you’re stuck for a Party game this year the team at Jackbox has you covered once again.

    Bar the frustrating Zeeple Dome and a few bugs, The Jackbox Party Pack 5 is yet another fantastic collection of party games. With each game offering something different -- and Mad Verse City in particular being a highlight -- Jackbox Games has made a game that should keep you and your friends entertained for a while.

    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
    I give The JAckbox Party Pack 5
    an 8.5/10    … Expand
