What it is
The Jackbox Party Pack 4 is a multiplayer party game collection from Jackbox Games, with five games: Fibbage 3, Survive the Internet, Monster Seeking Monster, Bracketeering and Civic Doodle. The games cover guessing facts about friends, reframing online comments, monster dating, debating and improving town murals. Player counts vary by game, from three to as many as 16. Players join using phones, tablets or computers, so extra controllers are not needed. The pack is designed for local multiplayer, but remote players can join while a host shares the game over a stream or video call. Steam lists shared-screen PvP and co-op, controller support, achievements, Trading Cards, Cloud and Remote Play on Phone. The game is English only. It released for Windows, macOS and Linux on October 18, 2017.
