The Jackbox Party Starter

The Jackbox Party Starter bundles three party games: Quiplash 3, Tee K.O. and Trivia Murder Party 2. Players use phones or tablets to join, with no extra controllers needed. Each game includes updated settings and improvements, including moderation, subtitles, content filtering and an upgraded settings menu. Voice acting, subtitles and credit songs are localized in French, Italian, German, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.

Quiplash 3

Players answer comedic prompts in head-to-head battles, then the other players and the audience vote for their favorite responses. A moderation feature lets responses be reviewed before they appear onscreen, and a filter can block profanity and hateful speech before responses reach moderation. The final round, Thriplash, asks players to submit three responses to each prompt.

Tee K.O.

Players draw pictures and write slogans against the clock. The game distributes the pictures and slogans at random, and players combine them into T-shirt designs that compete in head-to-head voting. The designs with the most votes in each round advance to a final gauntlet, where one becomes the winner.

Trivia Murder Party 2

After the events of the first Trivia Murder Party, the serial-killer host is on the run from the police and has moved into the Murder Hotel where he grew up. His family once killed unsuspecting guests there; now he uses the hotel to stage a game show that kills its contestants.

Players answer trivia questions, and wrong answers send them to the Killing Floor for potentially deadly minigames. These include avoiding swords thrust into a magician’s box, tattooing the killer’s back and using a rotary phone. Other scenarios involve finishing the game with a bomb strapped to your body, haunting another player or being mistaken for the killer’s mother.

Play together

The games support up to 8 players and up to 10,000 audience members. To play remotely, players join from any web-enabled device, such as a phone or tablet. Remote groups can connect through a video-conferencing tool, share the host’s screen and enable audio sharing.
