    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 game going into it knowing that the 2 player experience was going to be lackluster.

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.    … Expand

    The Jackbox Party Pack 3 is exactly what it advertises itself as, insane. But let me add another word before insane, how about situationally insane. Hilarity will most definitely ensue if you have enough people in your house to play with you, or if you are a streamer on Twitch, but if you don't fit those criteria, this game has nothing to offer other than single-player Trivia Murder Party.The Jackbox Party Pack 3 is exactly what it advertises itself as, insane.

Why does Trivia Murder Party support single-player? I don't know and its boring regardless. Besides this, Fakin' It and Tee K.O. lack the same laugh factor of the other three entries. If you visit friends, stream, or live with lots of people frequently, this is exactly what you're looking for. If not, maybe you should invest some time into looking for new friends.… Expand

    This is a really good starter pack IMO.

    Quiplash 2: Really good, but I'd say buy the newer one. Trivia Murder Party: Again, really good, but just buy the newer one. Guesspionage: Just guess the percent. Pretty decent filler, lol. Tee KO: The second best Jackbox drawing game. Fakin' It: No. Verdict: Basically the equivalent to a sports game. Just buy the newer ones, or cheap out    This is a really good starter pack IMO.

    Games like Geusspionage Fakin it and Tee Ko make this pack great. However i feel that i will use this pack less bc they will remake Tee ko effectively slowly destroying this pack and making it not worth to buy.

    With it's clever web-based hosting that allows anyone with a smart device to join in, as well as it's hugely entertaining selection of games, The Jackbox Party Pack 3 on Nintendo Switch makes for a splendid, instant-party game tool for family and friend gatherings. There's something in this pack for everyone to enjoy and enough content to encourage repeat play.

    The Nintendo Switch is steadily increasing its plethora of party games, and The Jackbox Party Pack 3 is a perfect addition to zany multiplayer experiences. With five unique titles from which to choose, its charming presentation and hilarious challenges more than make up for its sometimes uneven mechanics. You’ll be screaming all night… in laughter, of course.
