Like the otherJackbox Party Packs,The Jackbox Party Pack 7will contain 5 different games that players can join in byusing their phones, computers, or tablets. With many still in quarantine, the games can be played over streams with remote players.
The five confirmed games for theJackbox Party Pack 7are:
Quiplash 3is a sequel to thevery popularJackboxgamesQuiplashandQuiplash 2. This game has players compete to make the funniest response to a prompt that’s given to them with the other players voting on who is the funniest. The player with the most points by the end is the winner.
The Devils and the Detailsis a cooperative game where players play as a family of devils that need complete normal human tasks. The official game site questions if players will be able to “handle the daily torture of human life”. While players will need to work together, the official site also describes that game as being “collaborative chaos,” making it likely that things won’t go smoothly even with perfect teamwork.
Champ’d Upis described as a drawingfighting gamewhere players need to draw characters that will battle over strange titles. It is likely that this will run on player votes to determine which drawing is the champion of certain categories given later on.
Talking Pointsis described as a public speaking game whereplayers need to give a speechon the unknown slides that are before them or be an assistant that approves the pictures before they show up. The goal is to keep talking for as long as possible even if it doesn’t make sense.
The final game in the pack isBlather Round. In it, players will have to describe their secret prompt with the additive of only being able to use a limited selection of words. It will likely play as an even stranger version of charades, with no movement.
TheJackbox Party Pack 7will release for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on October 15th, 2020.
