Jackbox Games is gearing up for a grand celebration of the 10th anniversary of Jackbox Party Pack with the highly anticipated launch of The Jackbox Party Pack 10 later this year. This remarkable bundle of party games, comprising five brand-new additions to the franchise, promises to be a delight for devoted fans. Each game in the pack is tailor-made for a fun-filled game night, with innovative twists and turns that are sure to keep players hooked.
As with previous editions, the Jackbox Party Pack 10 brings together a diverse selection of games from various categories. Fans can look forward to a challenging trivia game, an engaging drawing game, and a thrilling fill-in-the-blank competition upon starting up the game. Despite their familiarity, each game presents a fresh and distinct experience. Players will encounter novel and exciting challenges that will keep them fully engaged, and no two games in the pack will ever feel repetitive.
Game Rant recently had the opportunity to interview Jackbox Games and discuss the unique aspects of their party games. We spoke specifically with Kyra McFarland, the producer of the Timejinx party game, to discover what sets it apart from other trivia games. While it possesses some characteristics of a classic trivia game, the studio took a different approach this time. When asked about notable differences, McFarland replied,
"I believe there are numerous ways in which Timejinx stands out. Firstly, its overarching theme revolves around time, making it extremely time-centered. As I mentioned, the input method involves an old-style phone number pad, where players try to guess the closest possible date. However, there are also time-related shenanigans to keep things interesting. This is Jackbox, after all, so shenanigans are to be expected."
Timejinx offers a unique twist on trivia games by allowing players to become time travelers and engage in a time-based trivia challenge. Instead of simply answering questions, players must input dates and attempt to travel to the correct points in time to increase their chances of winning. This innovative approach promises an exhilarating gaming experience unlike anything seen before. Additionally, the game incorporates elements of mischief and intrigue, adding to the overall enjoyment. Timejinx not only explores the concept of altering and repairing time but also delves into various scenarios such as disguising oneself for historical visits or venturing into the future, with a focus on the hyper-specific nature of acquiring accurate answers across a wide range of topics.
Timejinx is set to offer an unconventional trivia game, promising an exhilarating experience unlike any other. Renowned for its collection of distinctive trivia games, this latest addition appears to be the most exceptional one yet. With eager anticipation, we await its arrival on store shelves to witness firsthand how it unfolds. Fortunately, fans won't have to wait much longer, as The Jackbox Party Pack 10 is slated to be released on all major platforms in fall 2023.
