![]() These particular games are the ones that always brings me back to the Jackbox universe. Fail to survive the traps and you’re dead, and dead people can’t win a trivia game…can they? Be the first to reach the top of the hotel and escape before all hope is lost to be the winner! With the narrator having a sinister cross between Cookie’s strange wit and a properly menacing voice, players need to correctly guess the answers to random science and historic trivia to not only win money, but not become the victim of potentially deadly traps. Returning to the concept of mixing trivia with horror (as previously seen in Jackbox Party Pack 3), Trivia Murder Party 2 now takes players, up to eight at a time, through several flights of scary mayhem in a haunted hotel, and the effect could not be greater. ![]() The folks at Jackbox have graciously left in one game where you can not only do it single player, but you can still use your actual Switch, and I will argue that Trivia Murder Party 2 is the best game in the whole set. First and foremost, this still requires players to have a smartphone on hand, at least for the most part. I daresay, this is the version that clearly is gearing towards being a full on “party game” style of pack and less the familiar brand of raucous comedy that previous versions held. ![]() To be honest, streaming and Twitching is the way to go, a fact that’s been baked into the Party Pack for the last couple of releases, but it’s none more apparent than in Jackbox Party Pack 6. As we are now on the sixth iteration of this franchise, it’s only natural that some ideas begin to take different shapes, and Jackbox is no different. It’s not as guaranteed as those franchises, but I know that there’ll be something familiar, something strange, something I really like and something that doesn’t sit well with me. ![]() For me, the coming of the new Jackbox Party Pack is like other people watching for the release of this year’s Madden or Call of Duty game. ![]()
