While I appreciate Jackbox Games trying to experiment and offer something unique, it comes at the expense of pick up and play simplicity. If that all sounds rather confusing… well then that’s because it is. After this *takes a breath* players attempt to figure out who did the killing by looking at the pictures drawn earlier as well as the murder weapon and then trying to identify and match the hidden letters. Following this, players will try to guess which accomplice belongs to which player with the first successful candidate getting to murder said person.
Next, everyone will secretly come up with a random name for a guest they will bring along to a ball (their accomplice). Players take on the role of murderers and detectives starting off by drawing weapons whilst hiding a letter from their name within it (their calling card). Hell, even after playing through an entire game, half the group still had questions.

Weapons Drawn is a complex beast, arguably the most complex game in the entire Jackbox Party Pack series to date. All in all, this is a safe sequel but a fun one nonetheless. Players can jump right into a game, create their own prompts, play themed games or draw animations based on prompts featuring the name of other players. The new wrinkle of having players create two-frame animations, while slight, is certainly a fun one though, offering an extra layer of hilarity to the mix. At its core, this is still very much more Drawful which is by no means a bad thing especially since the original blueprint still holds up very well. Where the original two games saw players doing their best (or worst as was often the case) to draw prompts sent to them for others to then try and guess, Drawful: Animate now has you drawing two images that continuously loop creating a simple animated effect (if used well).

So, that note aside let’s kick off with the first game.ĭrawful is this year’s returning fan favourite receiving the update treatment in Drawful: Animate. These games often cover everything from drawing to being funny to trivia to social deduction.
Those of you new to the world of Jackbox Party Pack will find five party games all controllable via a smart device or computer. Every year I’m always impressed at how the team manages to squeeze out even more fun and hilarity from its party-style premise and found myself especially keen to check in on this year’s efforts. The Jackbox Party Pack 8 is out now and with it another five party games, one a returning sequel and four brand new experiences. It’s that time of year once again! Time for a new Jackbox Party Pack! So, gather your friends, pull up a chair and sit down for… you know what? You probably know the drill by now.
