The Wheel of Enormous Proportions is one of the better trivia games when it’s not trying to be funny, and less punishing than Trivia Murder Mystery Party. For fans of: Tee K.O., You've Got A PointĪll in all, Jackbox Party Pack 8 is a great entry in the Jackbox series, propped up by Job Job and Drawful Animate.Verdict: A great idea, slightly too complicated.It's different to anything Jackbox has done while still being Jackbox, but it'll end up slotting into the middle of the deck when it comes to Jackbox all-timers. This happens twice, then you solve the unsolved murders, then the game is over. You need to find the missing letter and accuse the right person. You need to decide as a group which ones to focus on - we mostly did it by how funny the name was.Īnyway, in solving the murder you are shown the weapon, and will see one weapon from every guest. After that, you will gain points if you successfully kill your target and even more points if your guest is alive by the end. Then you must select a different guest to murder - but you will only be successful if the other players guess you brought them in the first place. After that, you need to come up with the name of a guest to bring to the party. You are given two murder weapons to draw, but a unique letter is already on the pad - a letter you must hide with your own drawing, somehow. Weapons Drawn is Cluedo if everyone was the murderer. In some ways, it's overly complicated, but as a new concept, it's worth it.
#The jackbox party pack 8 review series
This is the most creative game in the whole pack, which is always great to see from a series that could do four versions of Quiplash and a Tee K.O. Anyway, that question you asked? At the end of the game Jackbox answers that question for the winner, which in true Jackbox style is nowhere near as funny as writing 'Dave has big sweaty balls'. It's a standard trivia game with the added mystery of chance. Wheel spins, anyone with tokens gets a second set of points, and first to 20,000 wins. At the end of the round, you place coloured tokens on a wheel of fortune more points = more tokens = more chances to win. Every answer right you get a point, every question wrong you lose a point. One was 'things Soulja Boy does in Turn My Swag On'. It might be 'which of these are capital cities', say.

You are asked a trivia question with multiple answers. However, once the game starts, things are more straightforward. Why? That's only revealed at the end, and even now I'm still confused about it. This is the game Jackbox has been pushing the most pre-launch, and I don't understand why.
