If you answer the question incorrectly in this mini-game, you’ll receive a penalty going into further rounds, like not being able to pick one of the answers. If you get one wrong, you go into a challenge mini-game with everyone else who got it wrong. If you get a question right, you’re safe. It’s a devious quiz that has you answering questions so you don’t get murdered. While Quiplash 2 is a refinement and enhancement of an existing game, this one is all brand new. Trivia Murder Party is probably the biggest addition to the Jackbox. The game also adds the ability to create your own set of questions the game’s voiceover won’t read them out, but it’s still great to create your own set to play with your friends. You can’t stream from the console itself, you’ll need an external capture card for that, but there’s a bunch of options for making the game more broadcast-friendly. Quiplash 2 contains a tonne of different settings to customise it for streaming purposes on Twitch. The audience can watch and vote as well as the players, but the audience’s score is weighted less than the players’. You can also invite an audience to play as well – up to 10,000 people, to be precise. ![]() Up to eight people can play this one, and the more the better. If your answer gets the nod from all players you’ll get the ‘Quiplash’ and a bonus score. The game will then cycle through the jokes and the players will have to vote on the one they find funniest. Quiplash works by giving out each player the ‘set up’ of two jokes and you have a-minute-and-a-half put in a response. The first game, Quiplash 2, is certainly the standout title and can be played with friends in the same room or one of the few games that can be played via streaming quite well. Together, the five games work well together, even if some of them are not as strong as one another – they all are worth investigating. The Jackbox Party Pack 3 has five different games included to play through Quiplash 2, Trivia Murder Party, Guesspionage, Fakin’ It, and Tee K.O. It takes that barrier of complication and removes it entirely unless for some reason you don’t have a smartphone. Jackbox uses everyone’s smartphone or tablet to answer questions or draw – all it requires is for the players to log into a website and play the games through that. The Jackbox Party Packs and the individual games included go one step further, they don’t even use the console and there are no controllers to setup. ![]() Then there are some party games that just work, that people can pick up, play, and know what to do. You’ve been to some parties to play ‘party’ games and you spend half the time setting up games, or the plastic equipment to play said games and it’s not a lot of fun just sitting there while your host stresses over where the AA batteries for the Wii Remotes are or why the Kinect camera won’t work for that stupid dancing game.
