The best Jackbox Party Packs, ranked

It’s difficult to think of a more novel social video game concept than what Jackbox Games provides. With humble beginnings as Jellyvision, developing the quirky and off-color You Don’t Know Jack trivia series, Jackbox Games has now released seven annual compilations, with five original games each. Whether you’re sitting on a couch with friends or streaming to an audience on Twitch, the premise of using your phone to participate in wacky games like Quiplash, Fibbage, and Trivia Murder Party has remained a fun and sustainable concept.

We’ve ranked all eight of these Jackbox Packs in order of our least favorite to most favorite. The order of this list depends on how impactful each pack’s games were in providing an original experience and how many of those impactful games are in each pack.

The classic You Don’t Know Jack makes a return, and it throws even more curveballs. But at this point, You Don’t Know Jack began to pale compared to more popular games like Quiplash and Trivia Murder Party. Other games include Split the Room, the hilarious Patently Stupid, and an experimental action game called Zeeple Dome, the last being an odd fit for Jackbox.

The second Jackbox Party Pack might as well be called Quiplash: The Video Game. Quiplash XL serves as a one-liner contest, and it’s the game that everyone comes back to. But it’s the first part of a one-two punch, with the other being Fibbage 2. Unfortunately, the rest of the package isn’t as memorable,
