Jackbox Games is set to release its 11th Party Pack, introducing five entirely original games on 2023-10-23. This installment marks a departure from previous packs, as it contains no sequels to fan-favorite titles like Drawful or Quiplash.
Fresh Concepts in Party Pack 11
Rich Gallup, the director of production, and Brooke Breit, the game director, explained that launching with new titles was a deliberate choice. Gallup remarked that after a break from the party packs, the team wanted to return with strong, new ideas. According to Breit, the goal was to challenge themselves without relying on existing IPs while aiming to exceed player expectations.
Game Highlights and Features
The new games maintain the distinct Jackbox style. Legends of Trivia is a fantasy roguelike where players tackle trivia to defeat monsters and gather treasure. Cookie Haus focuses on decorating cookies through drawing. Doominate features joke-writing, echoing elements of Fibbage. Suspectives offers social deduction gameplay, reminiscent of Fakin' It. Lastly, Hear Say introduces a unique feature by allowing players to use their phones as microphones to create sound effects for movie clips.
From trivia battles to social deduction, the game selections demonstrate the team’s commitment to innovation while retaining the Jackbox spirit. Each title in Jackbox Party Pack 11 promises a fresh experience while carrying forward familiar gameplay elements fans love.
