About The Jackbox Party Pack 2
The Jackbox Party Pack 2 bundles five distinct party games that use phones, tablets, or computers as controllers, eliminating the need for extra hardware. Players join via a web link, making it easy to start a session in a living‑room or over a video‑call.
All titles support local multiplayer and can be streamed for remote play, with audience members able to influence certain games. The collection runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux and includes Steam features such as achievements and cloud saves.
01 / THE GUIDE
Fibbage 2
Fibbage 2 is a bluff‑style trivia game for 2‑8 players that presents over 500 new questions, more than double the original count. Players submit false answers to fool others, while trying to guess the correct one.
A new mechanic called the deFIBrillator adds extra interaction, adding an extra layer of interaction to the bluffing. The game runs entirely through web‑enabled devices, so no additional controllers are required.
- Experiment with outrageous false answers to increase the chance of others picking yours.
- Try out the deFIBrillator to see how it fits into your bluffing strategy.

Earwax
Earwax pits 3‑8 players against each other in a sound‑effects guessing game. Audio clips range from a cow moo to a tiny fart, and participants choose which sound effect to play.
The game’s humor comes from the absurdity of the sounds and the competitive guessing, all played via personal devices that act as controllers.
- Listen carefully to subtle audio cues; they often hint at the source.
- Use the variety of sounds to keep the mood light and encourage laughter.

Bidiots
Bidiots is an art‑auction game for 3‑6 players where each participant draws directly on their phone or tablet. The drawings become auction items that others can bid on.
Winning requires outbidding opponents for the most amusing or valuable pieces, turning simple sketches into a competitive market.
- Create bold, recognizable drawings to attract higher bids.
- Observe opponents’ bidding patterns to anticipate their valuation.

Quiplash XL
Quiplash XL supports 3‑8 players and expands the original Quiplash with all content from Quip Pack 1 plus over 100 new prompts. Players write funny responses to prompts, then vote for the best.
The larger prompt pool keeps the game fresh across multiple sessions, and voting is done through each player’s personal device.
- Mix absurdity with relatability for higher vote counts.
- Take advantage of the expanded prompt list to avoid repetition.
05 / THE GUIDE
Bomb Corp.
Bomb Corp. is a 1‑4 player bomb‑defusing game where each player acts as an intern tasked with disabling random office bombs. Failure results in a humorous “death,” but success keeps the job.
The game is played via personal devices, and the tension of each defusal creates a nail‑biting experience suitable for small groups.
- Stay calm and read the bomb instructions carefully before acting.
- Coordinate with teammates in co‑op mode to share information quickly.
