The Jackbox Party Pack 5 Reviews
The Jackbox Party Pack 5 contains four great, really unique games and one that doesn't make any sense.
The Jackbox Party Pack 5 is an amazing party game for streamers and players at home alike. The games are fresh and fun, and the themes for each game fit perfectly. If you and your friends don't have fun, find new friends.
Overall this is another mixed bag of quality, for me personally I can only see me and my friends playing Mad Verse City and Patently Stupid the most, there is no real star here but it is an ok pack to wheel out at a party, it is ok value for money and some fun to be had just don’t expect a long lifespan from any of the games.
The Jackbox Party Pack 5 never fails to entertain when it comes time to gather up friends for a fun evening of video games. From the tried-and-tested return of You Don’t Know Jack, to the new and wacky party games, every iteration in the franchise is a joy to put on when you have a few mates around and fancy a great time. There are plenty of moments where you’ll be caught off guard with how silly it can be and how stupid it makes you behave. Definitely a must-have for anyone that likes party style games!
The others in this pack don’t feel as good, or in YDKJ’s case, don’t offer anything new. Still, the overall package is good fun for when you have a few friends over
When it comes to The Jackbox Party Packs, this ranks as one of the best. Nearly all of the games are fun and exciting to play and 4 of the 5 supports up to 8 players, which is fantastic for parties!
Like those before it, The Jack Box Party Pack 5 is a great addition to any party whether it’s with your immature friends or your once bland family get togethers. No go get to playing!
Jackbox has had some great packs over the years and even with the unfortunate inclusion of Steeple Dome, this is one of the strongest showings they’ve had yet. Go out and grab a copy of this game on any device you own; There’s no buyers remorse here. With the Jackbox way of using your phone as the controller, everyone with a smartphone has the skills needed to hop right in. So yes, Jack is indeed back with another hit for your party.
This year's Party Pack is, as always, filled with a little something that will hopefully appeal to just about anyone. Whether you've got friends who are trivia buffs, have a hidden marketing and sales skillset, or an inner poet who can throw down some tough slams it's reasonable to assume everyone can be good at something here. If your groups tend towards a more intimate two couple size earlier Packs may be a better bet but if you're rocking a decently-sized party the wide net these games pack should provide for some fun.
Party Pack 5 is definitely the most fun its been in a while, primarily because of two games.

It’s impressive that even after five packs and twenty-five individual party experiences Jackbox Games are still able to deliver the good times. And to be honest, if they continue to keep up the quality I’m more than happy to keep playing for years to come.
This year's Jackbox Party Pack has some truly clever games that are thoroughly enjoyable with friends.
If you're looking for something better for lighter concentration, Jackbox 5 doesn't have the variety of some of the earlier bundles. I came away impressed by the five games here; I don't think any of them are even close to being a dud. You just need to make sure everyone's up for the long haul with these games.
While it's a departure from some of the Jackbox classics – Fibbage, Quiplash, Drawful – it's a fantastic and inventive range of new titles, all rounded off with another solid entry of the much-loved You Don't Know Jack.
Technically speaking, I loved how the game can be fully controlled remotely by the phones, but this also means that when Jackbox's servers are retired, this game will become completely unplayable. I, however, thought it was done very well and simple enough to bring non-technical people in the fray. Given the nature of the mini-games however, this is not a party game you will want to play with your kids.
Jackbox Party Pack 5 also includes the features we've come to expect, with family-friendly modes for all games except YDKJ, streaming support for an audience of up to 10,000, and plenty of fun. All in all, this is a commendable effort that consistently delivers, even though an experimental action title keeps it from reaching greater heights.
The Jackbox Party Pack 5 has a game for almost anyone. While including one false start the rest of the games included in the bundle will be a great addition to any kind of gathering or party. Jackbox Games has done an amazing job with this bundle showing they're still consistently coming up with bigger and better ideas.
While the The JackBox Party Pack 5 is hard to recommend at full price due to mediocrity, if you liked past entries it could be worth buying while on sale.
