The world’s favourite (most antagonist) occasion quiz recreation is making a return. You Don’t Know Jack brings its trademark multiple-choice questions and otherworldly classes to a 12 months that desperately wants a purpose to cease taking part in HQ Trivia. It’s not that HQ Trivia is inherently dangerous: it’s simply that dude’s face. You know the face. You know what I’m speaking about. You’re making a little bit fist proper now. Just… simply let the fist go. We’re right here to speak about good issues. This is a cheerful place.
You Don’t Know Jack is a bizarre cult of persona expertise that, regardless of its many types over time, manages to bridge each real quiz present gameplay with ever-increasing antics. The video games have been packaged and repackaged and ported into a whole lot of types over time, together with a collection of books and (what the) a collection of questions created only for the candidates in America’s 2000 Presidential Election? The questions had been apparently despatched to a gaggle of radio stations, in hopes the hosts would get Bush or Gore to play alongside. Google is failing me on this, but when you will discover these questions anyplace please ship ’em my means.
Anyhow, at PAX there was an announcement from Jackbox Games {that a} Jackbox Party Pack 5 will probably be popping out Fall of 2018 to PC, consoles, and different main platforms.

It’s an enormous surroundings change that’s led us to replace the sport in actually enjoyable methods, and given us a ton of latest stuff to make enjoyable of.
I really like Content Pipeline jokes. I really like this a lot already.
