About The Jackbox Party Pack 8

About this game

Developed and published by Jackbox Games, Inc.

Enjoy the eighth instalment into the fan-favourite Jackbox Party Pack franchise, featuring five brand-new games that will allow you to spice up your game night with numerous hilarious titles and prompts that are sure to keep the laughs going. Play with a vast group of people with tablets, phones, and even other computers as controls to join in on the fun!

Drawful Animate

Drawful is back and more animated than ever! Play with 3–10 players; the drawer will have to create two looping frames to describe the weird and random title they got! Once that's been done, every player will factor in their guess, and then everyone will be forced to pick from all of the guesses! Each time your guess is picked, you get a point, and each time the original quote gets selected, the drawer gets a point!

The Wheel of Enormous Proportions 

Get a group of 2–8 players and answer trivia questions! To favour those with less trivia knowledge, The Wheel of Enormous Proportions allows players to earn points according to how many answers they get right and also get slices to slot into the wheel! When spinning times come, slot all of your pieces onto the wheel to get even more points! Once a player reaches 20,000, they'll be able to spin for a chance to win, or else the game continues!

Job Job

It's time to get a job! 3–10 of people will answer icebreaker questions and– oh no! M. Bubbles — the host and job interviewer — put them in a shredder by accident! Not to worry, take them out and piece together words from your friends' icebreaker answers to formulate responses to the job interview. Once you've answered the question, it's time to get a vote! Better think on your feet — it's essential for this job!

The Poll Mine

Split a group of 4–10 players and receive numerous polls that you'll rank. Laverne Caverne, the host for this party game, will survey both teams, and then all players will have to guess the order of the preference of the team! Answer prompt questions and figure out how your team agrees or disagrees on these subjects!

Weapons Drawn

Play with 4–8 players as you'll take of both detectives and murderers... Play a sinister game of death as the detectives set up a party where they'll get points for each crime they solve, but so too, for every kill they get. Draw your weapon and set your signature stamp — a letter from your name — hidden inside as a clue for your fellow detectives. Can you cleverly hide your signature and find others'?

Job job is the best mini game ever on jackbox.

Itamar
Verified purchase
Overall, jackbox has usually 1-2 games in each pack that are worth playing. This one has only one. But (big but here) this is the single best mini game ever released in a jackbox game. Job Job alone is worth the whole price. 4 stars because your'e paying for only 1 good game, but the game itself is 10/10.

A great, albeit more complicated Jackbox, worth it if you're a Jackbox fan or willing to learn.

Jackbox 8 is a good continuation of the Jackbox Franchise. It has significantly more complex and complicated games than prior entries. The Wheel of enormous proportions, weapons drawn, and poll mine has many more rules than the typical quiplashes and fibbages. But the games are still great and worth learning.

A decent pack of engaging party games. The amount of fun you'll have really depends on how many people you're playing with.

Jackbox Party Packs always seem to be improving, with some reliable games within each. 8 is another installment with mostly unique games included. I hesitated before buying this pack. The friends I play with don't usually like drawing games, and this one has two: Drawful Animate and Weapons Drawn. They also don't like social deduction games, which Weapons Drawn is. I've also watched some streamers play Poll Mine, and they were confused and visibly frustrated. After this went on a large sale, I picked it up and my group was pleasantly surprised. Those concerns were brushed away after a couple of rounds with each game that seemed lackluster to us. We had a lot of fun with them after understanding them, which wasn't a high bar. We were excited for Job Job, as we enjoy Quiplash and this seems to be a crowd-sourced style of that game. The game's limitations are mainly based on what the group is willing to contribute, but there are some minor design issues that are a problem or could have been more entertaining. For example, your crowd-sourced answers to questions are visible and used by other players, but the context is missing - which may be part of the fun of the game to some, but I found disappointing. Poll Mine was also a highlight, as it really made us look around the room of friends to figure out how each of us would answer their ranked polling questions. Wheel of Enormous Proportions was enjoyed by all, but seemed slow for a trivia and random-spin game. Drawful Animate actually had a very good design, which alleviated some of our hesitancy, especially how long we spend drawing. A simple outline of the previous image drawn helps with this. Finally, Weapons Drawn was an interesting game, which we had fun with, but the in-person lying and deduction aspect of it was not enjoyed by all of us. Most games in the packs have started to lean more into the couch-cooperative and social element of the games. While previous games can have you not audibly communicate with other players (with the exception of Bomb Corp in JBPP2), the most recent ones benefit or explicitly require players to discuss or respond more out loud (Talking Points from JBPP7 and Faking It from JBPP3 cannot be played without the player speaking to or looking at every other player). Games in this don't necessarily require that, but Poll Mine and Weapons Drawn really benefit from being in the same room or at least talking and visible to other players. While JBPP games are mostly very well...
