Just when you thought the exciting announcements from Jackbox Games were over this week, WE’RE BACK. Watch our teaser video for Everybody Help Grandma, the second game announced in The Jackbox Party Pack 6, featuring the game’s director, Ryan DiGiorgi.
The Jackbox Party Pack 6 is coming this fall and also includes Trivia Murder Party 2 (revealed this weekend at PAX East). Stay tuned for more thrilling announcements from the Jackbox team on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
In case you missed the reveal trailer we debuted at PAX East, here’s the video announcing Trivia Murder Party 2. (Spoiler Alert: The video reveals we’re… you know… making Trivia Murder Party 2.)
Trivia Murder Party is a deviously funny trivia game where getting questions wrong leads to fighting for your life in a variety of strange and challenging mini-games. Trivia Murder Party 2 is the most frequently requested sequel of all the Party Pack games and it’s finally on its way in Party Pack 6.
While most of the game details are still shrouded in mystery, we can confirm that, in Trivia Murder Party 2, the serial killer host has moved back into his childhood home, a Murder Hotel that his family has run (and killed people in) for generations. Like any good (or bad) horror movie sequel the stakes are higher, the surprises are bigger, and the clichés are abundant.
Without spoiling much more, the game will include:
New questions
Dastardly new mini-games
Cursed “gifts”
Weird new ways to die
Enhanced audience features
Okay, okay a couple more cryptic hints but this is it for now:
Keys
Mirrors
Wigs
Swords
Daddy issues
Fun
Trivia Murder Party 2 will be included in the Jackbox Party Pack 6, coming Fall 2019 to PC, consoles and major digital platforms.

Come back to the 90’s with us, for a tour de force of the greatest rap beefs of the era. Except, in this timeline, that era went a little differently. We call it Mad Verse City, and it’s the third game in The Jackbox Party Pack 5.
Giant robots have invaded, and they want one thing: to set the city ablaze with their best verses. Thankfully, all citizens of Mad Verse City are out of town, except for a thirsty and rambunctious crowd and our esteemed hosts, Chicago legend Shadow Master MC and his sidekick, DJ Raych. They’re going to do their best to referee this competition as these Titan MCs let loose on the mic. At stake are mountains of cash, and the respect of whatever is left of the city when they’re done. Join them this fall to decide who is the greatest in Mad Verse City!
Features:
* Beautiful, retro-cartoony art.
* The ability to write sick rhymes using your smartphone.
* Hear your MC avatar rap the bars you write out loud (they’re a little robotic, but they are doing their best).
* HUGE scores. Try to make a million dollars!
* “Write for Me” and “Suggestions” to help you when you’re off your game.
* Cheer along during the raps and hear the crowd roar.
Watch our friends at Polygon give a first look at an early version of Mad Verse City here.
Mad Verse City will join YOU DON’T KNOW JACK and Split the Room, along with two other to-be-announced games in The Jackbox Party Pack 5. Be sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter for the latest updates about the pack, coming this fall.
Jackbox Games’ hit party game joins The Jackbox Party Packs 2, 3 & 4 on the Nintendo eShop
Jackbox Games has announced that Drawful 2, the hilariously artful party game, is now available as a standalone title on Nintendo Switch™ consoles via the Nintendo eShop for $9.99. Drawful 2 joins other Nintendo Switch offerings from Jackbox Games, including The Jackbox Party Packs 2, 3 and 4.
The sequel to Drawful, the beloved game of terrible art, Drawful 2 challenges players to create weird, funny drawings in response to nonsensical prompts. Additional features in the sequel include more prompts than ever before, the ability to share animated GIFs of your creations on social media with the click of a button, and, by popular demand, the option to use a SECOND color in your drawings.
Players can even create custom episodes with their own prompts. Remember that time your buddy kept saying “gravy” in response to literally everything? That’s five prompts worth of material right there. Create custom episodes for special occasions like birthday parties, wedding showers, the birth of your friend’s weird-looking baby and more!
Drawful 2 also includes several new streamer-friendly features. Tame the internet with censoring features that let the VIP (the first player to join) skip drawings or block out answers. Avoid even more risky business by activating the Family Friendly setting. Streamers can also extend timers to ensure the audience watching has as much time as possible to vote or submit their drawings.
Drawful 2 requires a minimum of three players and supports up to eight players, plus an audience of up to 10,000 members.
