Jackbox Party Pack 1 and 2 coming to Switch

Advertisement

Earlier in the year, Jackbox Games launched The Jackbox Party Pack 3 for the Nintendo Switch, but you might have noticed that the first two packs were absent. But fear not! They’re on the way.

Jackbox Games announced via Twitter that The Jackbox Party Pack and The Jackbox Party Pack 2 are both coming to the Switch… at some point. We don’t really know more than that, all we know is that they’re coming.

I’ve actually played both of these packs quite extensively on other platforms, and all of the included games are fantastic. Plus, if The Jackbox Party Pack 3 is anything to go by, they should be very reasonably priced. You can see Jackbox’s description for each of the games included in each pack below.

The Jackbox Party Pack

For 1-100 players!
Your phones or tablets are your controllers!
The team behind YOU DON’T KNOW JACK presents FIVE guffaw-inducing party games in one pack!
Games include:

  • The comedy trivia sensation YOU DON’T KNOW JACK 2015 (1-4 players) with hundreds of all-new questions.
  • The hilarious bluffing game Fibbage XL (2-8 players), with 50% more questions added to the original hit game Fibbage.
  • The bizarre drawing game Drawful (3-8 players), where you draw right there on your phone or tablet.
  • The racy-as-you-want-to-be fill-in-the-blank word game Word Spud (2-8 players).
  • The wacky-fact-filled Lie Swatter (1-100 players).

Players play using their phones, tablets, or even computers as controllers – making it the perfect easy-in entertainment piece for your next game night or party. Once a game is started from the in-pack menu, players simply connect to the “jackbox.tv” web address on their device and then enter the provided 4-letter room code to enter a game. No big mess of controllers needed!
You’re gonna need more than one party for this!
