    Jackbox Party Pack 4
    A Pretty Okay Collection
    Party Pack 4 isprobably one of the weaker collections, Like all party packs, the more players the better,as with 3 players or less, youll rarely get much enjoyment out of these games, party pack 4 consists of 5 games that you play using your phone rather than a controller Firstwe have fibbage 3 which is a great upgrade, but fibbage is    Jackbox Party Pack 4
    A Pretty Okay Collection
    Party Pack 4 isprobably one of the weaker collections,
    Like all party packs, the more players the better,as with 3 players or less, youll rarely get much enjoyment out of these games,
    party pack 4 consists of 5 games that you play using your phone rather than a controller
    Firstwe have fibbage 3 which is a great upgrade, but fibbage is kinda losing its spark, this is a game where you try yto come up with the best lie to make everyone choose it in a random trivia game for points, though to improve and not just make it another fibbagegame, theres a bonus enough about you option where the questions are about the players in the room, making it much more fun, full of laughs and not as stale as fibbage otherwise would be at this point,
    Next is survive the internet, you try to come up with most ridiculous comments and captions for posts and photos on the internet, with the right people this has potential to be pretty fun one or two times,
    Next Is the best addition to the party pack universe, monster seeking monster, you are all secret monsters, trying to get dates and use your secret ability to get the most hearts out of the other players, who all have their own secret agenda and strategy to win, this can be really fun and full of strategy, trying to date around other players abilities, but I feel like its too short of a game to bring out this games full potential, things don’t get juice until its almost over.
    hen theres bRACKETEERINB, THE WEEKEST OF THE GAMES, YOU HVOTE ON RANDOM BRACKETS YOU ALL COME UP WITH..
    Not much ese to say, that’s the game, its pretty lame.
    And finally is civix doodle..
    Its always great when Jackbox lets you draw and be creative, and civic doodle is a game where two players keep adding onto a picture while other players vote on the drawing they would like to add to,
    this ones okay if you can get people to play it right, otherwise it could easily turn into a pitty party or poluarity contest.
    Jackbox Party Pack 4 shows some games with some promise, but ultiatly doesn’t do enough to be a must have in your collection..
    I would love to see a revamp of monster seeking monster in the future, as this is probably the closest thing to a reason to have party pack 4”
    I give Jackbox Party Pack 4

    Awesome pack of games. Don't think I had a bad time with either of these in the pack, probably the go-to if you want the most time to spend with yo' friends.

    I don't know how to critique these games besides "They should magically appear while I'm with friends and family."

    Flat-out fun...silly, necessary games. Connectivity has never been an issue. The kind of games I would want in my HUD

    A must buy pack for Fibbage 3.

    Fibbage 3: A really good lying game. Even includes an extra mode! 8/10
    Survive The Internet: I don't really remember this one. Not a good sign, lol.
    Monster Seeking Monster: "Family game." No, I would not like to play incest the game, thanks!

    The Jackbox Party Pack 4 is also a pretty solid pack, with some great games. But do any of them fall short? Let's see...

    Fibbage 3: IMO, this is the second best Jackbox game as a whole. It's classic fibbage but with an abstract floral theme. Who doesn't love fibbage? Also, an amazing soundtrack. Actually, as a whole I think people sleep on Jackbox's OST. It also has a sidemode, Fibbage:    The Jackbox Party Pack 4 is also a pretty solid pack, with some great games.

    Fibbage 3: IMO, this is the second best Jackbox game as a whole. It's classic fibbage but with an abstract floral theme. Who doesn't love fibbage? Also, an amazing soundtrack. Actually, as a whole I think people sleep on Jackbox's OST. It also has a sidemode, Fibbage: Enough About You which focuses on the players rather than random trivia, which is really cool. 10/10 game.

    Monster Seeking Monster: MSM is a game about dating your friends. Each round you get four messages to send to somebody, hoping to woo them over and get a nice date going. Now, the catch is that everybody is actually a monster with special powers, so it could be damaging to date somebody. If you do get a successful date, you get a heart. On the blood moon you get two hearts. If you get rejected, you can't go on another date. MSM is really fun but quite long, but some roles are trash but others are pretty great. 9/10.

    Survive The Internet: A game where you make headlines to make people look bad. It's funny, but I'm not a big fan of the scoring system plus it can be easy for trolls to get in and say some not so good things. 7.5/10.

    Bracketeering: You get a prompt, your prompt goes in the bracket, hope you win. I do like the prediction feature, but the first 2 rounds are kinda "meh" to me. The final round is actually pretty fun, and should have been the whole game. Good filler, 6.5/10.

    Civic Doodle: The worst drawing game in the francise, it's so flawed. You make a mural, vote on who's is best. Then you have to add stuff onto the voted person's mural. Vote again. Repetitive, boring, not funny. All the things a Jackbox game should not be. 1/10.

    Despite Civic Doodle being in this pack, it's still a really good one, and so my overall rating is an 8.25/10.    … Expand

    As I've previously maintained, these games' worth can only really be determined if you have loads of people handy, and people who can think of entertaining answers at that. Sadly, the price point is far too much for what it is - you're going to need to fork out about £100 for all four of the packs. The sum of the parts isn't worth what's being charged for the whole.

    With the exception of Fibbage 3, each game in The Jackbox Party Pack 4 requires a minimum of three people but, the pack's potential isn't fully realised without a substantially larger group. This is a party pack that is sincerely meant for a party. Smaller groups will be able to get enjoyment out of Civic Doodle or Fibbage, but Survive the Internet, Monster Seeking Monster, and Bracketeering, especially, are designed with larger get-togethers in mind. Despite an emphasis on playing with a big group, The Jackbox Party Pack 4 stands out as one of the strongest entries in the series with no discernible weak links in the pack's line-up. Along with continuing the trend of swapping out traditional controllers for smart phones, it's entirely possible to host a game over a stream, negating the need to find 8-16 friends for some local Jackbox shenanigans.

    The Jackbox Party Pack 4 is one of the better titles in the series that includes a game about dating monsters, as well as a few unfortunate bugs.
