The Jackbox Party Pack 8

The Jackbox Party Pack 8 is the eighth entry in the Jackbox Party Pack series from Jackbox Games, Inc. It's a set of five party games built for a night in with friends, a holiday get-together, happy hour, or a video call. If you want to buy The Jackbox Party Pack 8, Ashop lets you pick up a licensed Steam key without hunting across different storefronts.

What's in the pack

The bundle includes Drawful Animate, Job Job, The Poll Mine, Weapons Drawn, and The Wheel of Enormous Proportions. In Drawful Animate, players draw short two-frame animations based on odd prompts while everyone else tries to guess what they were looking at. Job Job turns your answers to interview questions into an absurd contest for the funniest phrasing.

The Poll Mine is a team game built around polls: players rank answer options and try to work out how the whole group voted. Weapons Drawn blends social deduction with drawing, so everyone is both a murderer and a detective, with clues hidden in the weapons players sketch. The Wheel of Enormous Proportions is a trivia game with a mystical wheel where every spin can shift the outcome.

How to play

You don't need extra controllers to play: everyone joins from smartphones, tablets, or other devices with a browser. It supports up to 10 players and up to 10,000 audience members. There's no online matchmaking, but you can still play remotely over a stream or video call by sharing your screen and passing along the audio.

Good to know

One important detail: The Jackbox Party Pack 8 is listed as an English-only game. The developer and publisher is Jackbox Games, Inc., and the release date is listed as Oct 13, 2021. It's a solid pick if you need a key for a lively group where everyone is happy to read prompts and joke around in English.
