    While this game is a great set-up for hilarity, it's regrettable that it can't always execute its own punchlines. However, it's an excellent title if played with the right crowd. It's a great selection of party games, and is worthy of a place in a Switch library accessed by groups of friends. Due to the nature of its controls, however, don't expect much in terms of portability.

The Jackbox series is unique in the sense that anyone with an internet connected device (phone, tablet, laptop, etc.) can join the lobby and play. It is one of the few games I've owned in my lifetime that keeps everyone in the room entertained. For those of us that are of legal age, it's the perfect game to drink to. However I would not classify this specific pack as a must own, as this game only truly shines when you have 4+ people in your lobby. Party Pack 3 is also the weakest lineup of all the Jackbox packs. Quiplash and Fakin' It are the two games in this pack that stood out to my friends and me. Tee-KO and Trivia Murder Party are not fun, which is a shame because Tee-KO is the only drawing game in this pack and the drawing games in the previous two packs are a some of the most addicting games. All in all this is a fantastic game to keep a room of 8 people entertained. If you're new to the Jackbox series, start with Party Pack 1 to get a better feel for what the series is like. For the $25 price tag, this game is worth it.… Full Review »

    First things first, if you plan on playing this game with less than 3 players its extremely hard to justify the purchase. I bought this gameFirst things first, if you plan on playing this game with less than 3 players its extremely hard to justify the purchase. I bought this game going into it knowing that the 2 player experience was going to be lackluster. That aside playing with 4+ is where the game starts to show its potential, the fact that each player has to have a separate smart device is the main hurdle, if everyone in your party has a phone/tablet you should be all set.
    Some of the questions are out of left field and realistically nobody ever should know the answers, although the difficulty can change drastically from question to question it still is enjoyable to an extent. I only played the game for an hour or 2 with the wife and we had a good time, the commentary and jokes were pleasant. I would love to have more of a game show game mode that would work Best with 2 players to get the full experience with just 2 people. In short if you don't plan on getting together with 4 or more people, just pass on this game until there are more modes hopefully added. If you have 4+ friends that enjoy a challenge pick it up for the price.    … Full Review »
