About The Jackbox Party Pack 8
The Jackbox Party Pack 8 adds five brand‑new party games that let groups compete using any web‑enabled device, so no extra controllers are required. Up to ten players can join a session, and an audience of up to 10 000 can watch along.
The pack does not include built‑in online matchmaking, but it works with livestreaming or video‑call tools, allowing remote play for game nights, holidays, or happy hours.
01 / THE GUIDE
Drawful Animate
Drawful Animate supports three to ten players. Each round gives a weird title, and participants create a two‑frame looping animation that other players must guess from a list of absurd answers.
The humor stems from crude drawings and wildly mis‑interpreted animations, keeping the experience fresh even for veterans of earlier Drawful entries.
- Keep your shapes simple; they loop more smoothly and are easier for others to read.
- Observe how other players exaggerate motion and consider mimicking that style for clearer clues.
02 / THE GUIDE
The Wheel of Enormous Proportions
The Wheel of Enormous Proportions accommodates two to eight players. A mystical wheel presents a variety of trivia prompts, and each correct answer awards a slice of the wheel for later spins.
When the round ends, one player will have their most burning question answered by the Wheel, adding a quirky, individualized finale.
- Answer early questions to collect more slices for later spins.
- Notice which wheel sections appear frequently; they may offer more reliable outcomes.
03 / THE GUIDE
Job Job
Job Job allows three to ten participants. Players receive other people’s words and must craft funny responses to classic job‑interview questions, turning the interview into a comedy showdown.
Scoring reflects how well the answers match the group’s sense of humor, and the highest‑scoring player is declared to have “got the job.”
- Pay attention to the phrasing others use; mirroring their style can increase laughs.
- Mix unexpected synonyms with the supplied words for a surprising twist.
04 / THE GUIDE
The Poll Mine
The Poll Mine supports two to ten players split into teams. Each player ranks answers to a difficult question, then teams guess the group’s overall ranking to escape a witch’s lair.
Success depends on how well you know your teammates’ preferences, turning personal knowledge into a strategic advantage.
- Discuss favorite topics before playing to calibrate expectations.
- Watch early rounds for patterns; groups often repeat similar ranking habits.
05 / THE GUIDE
Weapons Drawn
Weapons Drawn accommodates four to eight players. Everyone is simultaneously a murderer and a detective, drawing clues while hiding a letter from their name in the weapon sketches.
Players must deduce who the killer is while protecting their own hidden letter, creating a tense social‑deduction dynamic.
- Hide your letter in a less obvious part of the drawing to avoid early detection.
- Study the letters other players embed; they often reveal alliances.
