During this period<\/span> of shelter-in-place, people have had to seek out new forms of entertainment and social interaction. Many have turned to a niche party series made by a company best known for an irreverent trivia game in the \u201990s called \u201cYou Don\u2019t Know Jack.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since 2014, the annual release of the Jackbox Party Pack<\/a> has delivered 4-5 casual party games that run on desktop, mobile and consoles that can be played in groups as small as two and as large as 10.

The games are tons of fun and perfect for playing with friends over video conference<\/a>, and their popularity has skyrocketed, as indicated by Google Trends. I polled my own Twitter following and found that nearly half of folks<\/a> had played in the last month, though a full third hadn\u2019t heard of Jackbox at all.<\/p>\n

  • Fibbage:<\/strong> A twist on the traditional trivia game, players are asked to invent an answer to a question of obscure knowledge (e.g. \u201ca Swedish man who works as a dishwasher receives disability benefits due to his unusual addiction to ____.\u201d) Then all the invented answers are mixed in with the truth and players must select the real answer while avoiding fakes. You earn points for guessing correctly and for tricking other players (the answer is \u201cheavy metal\u201d).\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
