#1 - Doominate
Take a perfectly lovely situation and destroy it in this head-to-head joke game where it feels so good to be so bad.
You see, in Doominate, you’re going to take something nice and mess with it. It’s a twist on some of our classic joke writing games because instead of answering a prompt, you are building a narrative and trying to make your friends laugh by spoiling some of their favorite things.
Was your favorite thing wrecked by a friend? Don’t worry. In the final round, you’ll have an opportunity to attempt to un-wreck something.
Doominate is available in The Jackbox Party Pack 11.
#2 - Survive the Internet
During each round, players get a different prompt on their device that asks a simple, opinion-based question like, “How do you feel about Fidget Cubes?” Let’s say you’re wildly addicted to them, so you respond with, “I’m addicted to them!”
That response is then randomly sent to another player. Their objective is to take your quote out of context in the funniest way they can. So your opponent might add a hashtag to make it seem like you’re addicted to #HomeworkAssignments, #Swirlies, #UndercookedFrenchFries, or some other thing that makes you look like a total putz!
Then, everyone votes on who comes out looking the most ridiculous. You earn bonus points for being the person who made them look that way! And our putz friends earn some pity points for sacrificing their reputation. The player with the most points at the end “survives.”
Survive the Internet is also the birthplace of Jackbox’s favorite non playable character, Gene! Play your cards wrong and Gene may just out-survive you. But hey, it’s good to let Gene win now and again. He needs this, guys.
Survive the Internet is available in The Jackbox Party Pack 4.
#3 - Dictionarium
What is “blarnkt”? A type of fungus? The sound a sick pigeon makes? A stew served at weddings where the couple doesn’t really love each other? Don’t ask us, it’s up to you! Humans have been inventing words and phrases for centuries. Now it’s your turn to contribute an entry to the pages of the Dictionarium.
In the Dictionarium, you’re served up hot, fresh, never-seen-before words and it’s your job to define them. The definition with the most votes wins, but you’re not off the hook yet! You’ll also come up with a synonym and use the word in a sentence.
By the end of the game, you’ve collectively created an entirely new dictionary entry, which will be forever enshrined in the Dictionarium by it’s faithful keeper. She’s upbeat, odd, and Northern European…we think? We didn’t ask her in the beginning and now it’s too late.
Dictionarium is available in The Jackbox Party Pack 6.
#4 - Job Job
Welcome to Job Job, a game where you use other people’s words to answer interview questions! Funny and unique answers get votes, and the player with the most points in the end SCORES THE JOB (JOB)! M. Bubbles, the bubbly boss (and sentient water cooler), is here to guide you through a revolutionary job interview experience.
First, players answer some simple icebreaker questions. You can answer these any way you want (feel free to ignore the question itself!), as long as your answers are five words or more. The sentences you write are shuffled and sent to other players.
Now it’s time for the interview! You can use any word (or punctuation) from the sentences you have been given to answer two interview questions. Here’s a secret tip: you can ALSO use any word on your controller, including words from the question itself! Feeling stuck? You can SHUFFLE or SORT the words on your controller to get new inspiration, or press START FOR ME and the game will pick three random words to get you started.
Then, players go head-to-head, and everyone votes for their favorite answers. You get points for a winning answer, and the people that wrote the words you used, they also get points!
Round Two involves the same process, but this time players answer two hypothetical questions about office life. And then in Round Three, players finish some personal statements because M. Bubbles MAY have lost your resumes (spoiler alert: they did). At the end, the player with the most points wins the job!
Job Job is available in The Jackbox Party Pack 8.
#5 - FixyText
In FixyText, players are thrown into a delightful machine to answer someone else’s important messages for them. Think of yourselves as script doctors, but for texts!
First, you decide on one of four conversation types: Flirty, Serious Business, Friends & Fam, or Unknown Number. This sets which chat partners and wacky requests are sent your way. Then, groups of players will take turns writing (or, rather, rewriting) and voting on replies to some of the craziest chat partners this side of…well, your phone!
When the timer starts, everyone in your group will jump into the same text field and start writing. Get in each other's way, change each other’s words, and get the most votes from other players by making your words stand out! Oh, and one last thing: You can’t backspace OR delete. So everything you type will stay that way FOREVER!
FixyText is available in The Jackbox Party Pack 10.
