Jackbox Games' Gift Guide for Every Type of Dad

Dads are not monolithic. They come in all sorts, varieties, and flavors. As such, the art of gift-giving is not to be lost on dads. We're here to help. 

A Gift For Your Sensitive Dad

If you have a dad who cries at sentimental insurance commercials, we have the perfect gifts for you! Give your sensitive dad the gift of family time with Party Pack 10. Your dad will love bonding with the family while making music in Dodo Re Mi! Also get him a box of tissues in case you all lose and those little birds get eaten. I worry he will never recover.

A Gift For Your Nostalgic Dad

You have the kind of dad who loves classic cars and has no self-awareness around how sad it is every time he tells people that high school was the best years of his life. Get him a digital photo frame for him to upload his favorite memories and to give him a new piece of technology to complain about. Dads love that!

Also get him every You Don’t Know Jack. They’re all $2.99 or less on Steam which will remind him of the days when things were reasonably priced. That’s less than the price of a cup of coffee these days, yeesh!

A Gift For Your Cat-Loving Dad

Your dad said he didn’t want a pet and now Socks is his background photo on every device. Get him a fancy cat scratcher to spoil the family’s new pet and Party Pack 5 so he can play Split the Room and remark how Mayonnaise must have been based off of Socks. Both are so dry and sassy!

A Gift For Your Sporty Dad

You have a dad who loves nothing more than tossing the pigskin around with his kid in the backyard to pass the time! Unfortunately, his kid is you, a gamer, and you could not catch a pigskin to save your life.

Get him one of those velcro toss and catch games to improve your hand-eye coordination before you come inside, ice your wrists, and play Champ’d Up in Party Pack 7 as it’s the only athleticism you can excel at.

A Gift For Your Dad Who Is Really Good At Math

Some dads are so good at math that when they tried to help you with your algebra homework, it simply made you more confused and frustrated as they are too smart to dumb things down to an 8th grade level. I’m sure this is very relatable for many people with dads and not just the author of this blog whose dad is a literal rocket scientist. 

Get him a Dieter Rams calculator and a download code for Party Pack 6 to play Joke Boat. Joke Boat isn’t necessarily a game he would enjoy, but now that you’re a professional comedy writer you can finally heal those old wounds by giving him a taste of his own medicine.

A Gift For Your Dad Who Runs A Country

Your dad is in charge of a country. We won’t say which to protect your safety, but he is an important man with a lot of power. Consider getting him a personal foot massager to help him relax and hopefully prevent any more wars and Party Pack 8 so he can practice his interview skills in Job Job after he funds more unnecessary violence.

A Gift For Your Dad Who Never Discusses His Emotions

Some dads believe in tough love and that Men are Men while some other dads are well adjusted. If yours is the former, consider getting him the hit book The Body Keeps The Score to better get in touch with his emotions. (Tip: Consider putting the jacket of the latest John Grisham novel on your gift so he’s more likely to actually read it).

When he needs a break from processing decades of repressed feelings, have him boot up your second gift, Party Pack 6. Together you can rebuild his confidence by letting him win in Trivia Murder Party 2 while he gets to look tough and not scared of the murder at all.
