\"\"<\/a>If you have a bunch of people over to play games, but not enough controllers to play with everyone, then Jackbox has you covered!\u00a0 Their latest batch of party games is out, and all you need are cell phones to play them!\u00a0 Just connect to Jackbox.tv on any phone and enter in the room code and you\u2019re in!\u00a0 It\u2019s pretty simple and works well, and in some games, even people who don\u2019t have cell phones can be part of the audience and participate.\u00a0 The Jackbox Party Pack 6 is available on most anything that can play games, but reviewed on PS4 here.\u00a0 Let\u2019s take a look at all the games!<\/p>\n

Trivia Murder Party 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the best game in the package.\u00a0 It\u2019s a trivia game, but if you get a question wrong, you die.\u00a0 But don\u2019t worry, you won\u2019t be out of the game if that happens.\u00a0 As a ghost, you can steal the life force of other players and get a chance to come back, and in the newly added final round, it\u2019s anyone\u2019s game!<\/p>\n

Role Models<\/strong><\/p>\n

This one is more of a personality test.\u00a0 The game gives you categories and you must select characters who best fit the other players.\u00a0 If you can pick characters that the players also picked, you\u2019ll get points, and whoever has the most at the end, wins.<\/p>\n

Joke Boat<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of all the games on this collection, I think Joke Boat is the weakest.\u00a0 It\u2019s basically Mad Libs except the words you put in the blanks have to be used in jokes and punchlines.\u00a0 And then the other players vote on which jokes are the funniest.\u00a0 If you can\u2019t think of a joke, you can have the game come up with one for you, but it usually doesn\u2019t make sense and you won\u2019t get as many points.\u00a0 I found this game a little hard to understand at first, and it drags on a bit.<\/p>\n

Dictonarium<\/strong><\/p>\n

I liked this word game because it\u2019s short and I like word games.\u00a0 You get to come up with a definition of a made up word, a synonym of it, and then use it in a sentence.\u00a0 Then everyone votes on the best one.\u00a0 Whoever\u2019s word gets the most votes wins.<\/p>\n

Push the Button<\/strong><\/p>\n

And last is this sci-fi themed game where humans board a spaceship, but one of those humans is an alien.\u00a0 You then play mini-games to figure out who the alien is.\u00a0 Sometimes this is possible because they\u2019ll make the game harder for the alien, but the alien player does have a few tricks up his or her sleeve.\u00a0 At any time you can push a button to eject who you think is the alien, but make sure you are certain.\u00a0 Because if you guess wrong, all the humans lose and the alien wins!\u00a0 This game was a little weaker, too, because it was hard to understand at first.<\/p>\n

Overall, this is a great collection of party games to bring out at your next get-together.\u00a0 The cell phone functionality works great and even though some things were a little hard to understand, my family and I had a great time playing this.\u00a0 I\u2019d like to thank my family for playing this game with me and helping me with the review as well.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Jackbox Party Pack 6 is rated T for Teen with ESRB descriptors of Crude Humor, Drug Reference, Fantasy Violence, Language, and Sexual Themes.\u00a0 Most of the game is only as dirty as you make it, so if you are playing with a group of rowdy adults, it could definitely get not so kid friendly.\u00a0 The Trivia Murder Party game may be about killing, but your player pieces are only represented by stuffed animals getting nailed to a wall.\u00a0 Although the deep voiced announcer and spooky sound effects can still be scary to little kids.\u00a0 Some of the jokes in Joke Boat also make reference to sex.\u00a0 Parental supervision is recommended because the game does have in-game purchases, although somewhat indirectly.\u00a0 After playing some of the games, you are prompted a link where you can buy Jackbox products, some based on the game you just played.\u00a0 Which is a neat idea.\u00a0 You know what would be cool?\u00a0 If Jackbox made a collection of kid focused games like this.\u00a0 Or maybe they have and I don\u2019t know it.\u00a0 At any rate, I think it\u2019s a neat idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
