Jackbox rarely disappoints and The Jackbox Party Pack 6 proves that the series is just as entertaining as it ever was. The return of Trivia Murder Party is welcome, and the four new games all bring something unique to the table. If you’ve ever enjoyed a Jackbox title before, you’ll absolutely want to pick this one up.
The Jackbox Party Pack 6 pushes the franchise forward in the right direction with a variety of refreshing, exciting minigames. Whether it’s socially deducing aliens among humans, working on your stand-up craft, discovering new roles for you and your group, creating brand new words, or escaping a ghoulishly menacing ghost hotel, there’s an exceptional time to be had for all.

The best Jackbox party pack ever made no game here is terrible but the standout games are push the button and trivia murder party.

I am thoroughly enjoying this party pack so far, joke Boat is hilarious and fun. Don't Push The button is very intense, but incredibly fun once you learn how to play. TMP2 is pretty similar to the 1st TMP except for it's a lot harder. Dictionarium is funny. Role models is where it starts to fall flat, I'd imagine it would be fun if you were in the same room playing with people you know, but it just doesn't work on twitch.

Jackbox games have always had a very specific brand of humor that is just plain weird. I don’t mean that in a bad way; I mean that in the wacky, endearing definition of the word. While it is this off-the-way, non-sequitur humor that drives it, but the accessibility of Jackbox Party Pack 6 has something for everyone across a broad audience.
The Jackbox Party Pack 6 continues Jackbox's streak of funny, low-key party games without deviating much from their established formula. If you're looking for something fun to do with a group for a couple of hours, you can't go wrong with one of the Jackbox Party Packs. There aren't really any experimental games like Zeeple Dome from last year's collection, but there's plenty worth playing in this year's Pack.
The Jackbox Party Pack 6 brings excellent new additions to your party game rotation with Push The Button and Dictionarium, but falls flat with Joke Boat.
The Jackbox Party Pack 6 brings with it four new games and the sequel to Trivia Murder Party. It’s more polished than the previous releases on launch, but none of the new games are particularly great.
For me personally, the weakest installment in the series.
I really like the Jackbox series. Just as Knowledge is Power, it is a party game with lots of fun, silly animations and a high replay value.
Unlike Knowledge is Power however, Jackbox is a little bit more versatile. Instead of being bound to your PlayStation and your smartphone, you can now use your phone or your pc/laptop to connect to ****, and play. The connection and overall stability of the game is also a lot better.
There are many Party Packs for the Jackbox games. Each pack offers a set of minigames that you can complete with your company of friends or family. Most of them revolve around choosing the funniest answer, predict who might have answered a certain question in a certain way, or, in general, just who made the most ridiculous drawing. Throughout the mini games, players score points, the player with the most points wins. Easy and simple.
Of all the Jackbox Party Packs, I thought this one was a little disappointing. In this Pack, you can play The Joke Boat, in which you complete lame one liners with your own response. The problem with this game is that the responses never match or resemble any kind of fun. Maybe it is intentional, but when playing with a group, we always skip this one.
Then you have Trivia Murder Party 2, in which you need to complete a series of very hard mini games, and try to stay alive and be the first to escape the mansion. This one is my personal favorite of this Party Pack and we almost only play this game when launching The Jackbox Party Pack 6.
Another lame game, in my opinion, is The Dictionarium, in which you must come up with funny definitions of a certain word. For me/us, this just did not work out and the lolz were nowhere to be found.
Another fun game was Push the Button, a Among Us style mini game, in which you need to complete various mini games and uncover the hidden alien on board. Along with Trivia Murder Party 2, this one was my favorite and we switched back and forth between them.
Lastly, you got Role Models, some kind of personally test in which you create some kind of formula about yourself. This one was the most disappointing and did not offer any fun.
The animations and art style of The Jackbox Party Pack 6 is colorful, jolly and silly. My biggest compliment here, is that all animations and slides within the games, are really fast, keeping the pace of the game at a very healthy levels.
The silly sounds, the jolly music in the background, enhances the experience and lets you have a good time with the game. In the sixth installment in the series, the music and sound in the Trivia Murder Party 2 game, is especially good.
With the right company, I can get aches in my stomach from laughing and I think that The Jackbox Party Packs are the best party games out there by far.
The Jackbox Party Pack 6 was all right, but only two games were fun out of five. Still recommend it though, Trivia Murder Party 2 and Push the Button alone, are worth it.

The Jackbox Party Pack 6
One of the best jackbox packs of all time
Party pack 6 like every other jackbox party pack, is a package of 5 games best played with 4 or more players and this pack is an abosulte staple in your jackbox collection, featured here is the sequel to one of the best party pack games of all time, Trivia Murder Party 2 Where you and your friends try to be the last one standing and then you compete with their ghosts to be the soul survivor of this trivia game full of laughs and dumb fun mini games, then from great to bad, we have ditionarium, you create the definitions of a word, vote on the best answers. I can see its potential but I personally didn’t care to play more than once, then we have role models, which I loved, youre given a catergory, you then place all of your friends on the phrase that best matches their personality, and you can bet extra points on personality traits youre sure a majority will place a certain person in, you get points based off of how well you know the people playing, and with a group of close friends this game can be hilarious, speaking of hilarious, or at least tries to be,, joke boat, you and your friends are given topics and then you attempt to write a standup comedy bit about that topic,your friends then vote on the best punchline or joke, this game can have its moments, but like mosty jackbox games you need the right people to make it any fun.. and then finally we have push the button.. this game is sortve like among us, but youre all in the room together, there is an alien among you, and your goal is to figure out who that is by placing 2 people at a time into rooms and hve them complete tasks, all while the alien attempts to sabotage the other players to make it seem s though they are the alien, as the alien is given different tasks.. I love these types of game, but this is one that really is at its best with more players, and I found that 4 just doesn’t cut it here..
All in all,Party Pack 6is one of my favorites and is a must have..
I give the Jackbox Party Pack 6
an 8.5/10

One of the most fun things to play with friends online. The best part has to be the fact that only one person has to have the game, and everyone else can join from a browser. Every game is hilarious, mostly due to my friends being idiots.

Jackbox 6 is a solid pack with some decent new games, as well as my favorite Jackbox game of all time.
Trivia Murder Party 2 (1-8 Players, Inherently Family Unfriendly): The fun-packed trivia deathmatch from Jackbox 3 has returned, and it's my favorite Jackbox game ever. Really. The new minigames, the modern settings, the great soundtrack, everything about TMP2 is awesome. Final Review: Good
Role Models (3-6 Players, Optional Family Friendly Filter): Role Models is a game about stereotyping your friends. It's fun, though. A lot of people get turned away because of the official reviews and descriptions of the game, but it can be very fun. Final Review: Good
Joke Boat (3-8 Players, Optional Family Friendly Filter): Joke Boat is about making corny jokes from weird presets and presenting them in front of everyone else. It would be really good and fun besides the fact that there are barely any joke presets, which make the game get boring, quick. It's alright, overall. Final Review: Okay
Dictionarium (3-8 Players, Inherently Family Friendly): Dictionarium was a good idea in theory, but didn't have enough to attract me. It's about creating definitions of fake words with random letters. It's just kinda boring. It's a meh game. Final Review: Okay
Push the Button (4-10 Players, Optional Family Friendly Filter): A social deception game, Push the Button involves finding the identity of the hidden aliens amongst your ship. In a 10 player game, there are 3 aliens and 7 human. The goal of the humans is to successfully identify and jettison the aliens, while the goal of the aliens is to stay undercover by hacking the other humans to make them look suspicious and hacking other aliens to make them look safe. It has SO MUCH potential. The biggest issue is how imbalanced the chances of each side winning are. If tutorials are enabled, it's really easy for the humans because the alien hacks are held off until quite a while in the game. On the other hand, if tutorials are disabled, it's really easy for the aliens because they can use hacks immediately. Final Review: Okay
My biggest complaint about Jackbox 6 is that there was no drawing game, which is such a missed opportunity. Overall, it's a pretty decent pack. Nice job, Jackbox.

Summary It’s the wildest Party Pack yet, with the absurd deathmatch Trivia Murder Party 2, the weird word circus Dictionarium, the hidden identity game Push The Button, the comedy contest Joke Boat and the offbeat personality test Role Models. Use your phones or tablets as controllers and play with up to 10 players, plus an audience of up to 10,...
