you forgot to mention in trivia murder party when you get too many questions right you get sent to the killing floor because the host suspects you are cheating

I was playing faking it with my family a few weeks ago. We were on the last round, and I was the faker. The prompt I got was "name a vegrable" now, I thought for a bit, and ultimately decided to put the answer "tomato" knowing that tomato was a fruit but also knowing the game might pull the rug from under me. And wouldn't you know, the prompt was fruit, and not only that, my brother also said tomato, allowing me to sneak under the radar and win the final round.

The only occasion in which a safety quip was actually good that ever happened to me was when in quiplash 3 the prompt was something like "the unspoken rule of the old ladies' knitting club" and the quip that came out was "no cops"

I literally never care about the scoring system for Tee-KO. One of the things I've noticed is that, unlike Quiplash, you can vote even during rounds when your shirt is up. On those rounds, I just put my point bias aside and vote for the funniest shirt, regardless of whether I made it or not. If you don't play for points and just play for laughs, Tee-KO is one of the best drawing games in the series.

This is something I never thought I would be interested in, but I’m loving this series so far

Who were the 20% of people that didn’t get to play with Parachutes in Gym Class? I feel bad for them.

The parachute thing the game was probably talking about was that massive circle rainbow one that you would get air inside and then sit inside. Good times.

This is where the packs start going from fun to amazing.

11:55 As someone who is not American and who played a round of Guesspionage with not-Americans, I can say that we were all very confident these surveys were not taken outside of the US. They gave us some good laughs though.

15:54 I’ve been using this work around for a while, even without microphones sometimes A voice channel with a text channel is needed. Hands: state if your hand is up or down Point: state a player/ person in the voice channel Number: state your number from 0 to 10 Face: enter an emoji

My issue with Tee KO is with how freeform the prompts are, it requires the players to have some decent comedy chops on their own. Games like Quiplash and Cards Against Humanity get laughs because they provide players with a framework to be funny. With Tee KO, you need to come up with something funny on your own, and that's not always easy.

This was the first pack that gave them the recognition they deserved

Faking It is my friend groups favorite game. When you said you never hear anyone yell, I was like how do you do this without yelling? My friend group screams at each other trying to defend ourselves and accuse others of lying. Great game! Awesome video though, love this series!

I think Tee KO is the only Jackbox game I’d consider a masterpiece. It’s just amazing.

11:40 Parachutes, not like the ones you jump out of planes with, but like any cloth attached to a thing that slows its descent. It's a pretty common toy.

The animation you're doing with possible amendments of the games is actually quite good and even unique! Especially with T-KO and Fakin' It!

I don't know if I've posted this in any other of your party pack reviews, but thank you SO MUCH for making these! I have a small group of friends that I'm a part of that wanted to start trying out Jackbox, but we didn't know which one to pick. This is super helpful, so thanks.

I really agree on Guesspionage. It's great to get conversations going!

I wish guesspionage got updated regularly. If it was then the percentages would be easier to guess, once had a question like “how many people put stickers on their cars”, turned out really low of an answer. If it was updated for now a days then it would be pretty high Imo.

Jackbox 3 is amazing. Probably the one everyone should start with. EDIT: I only have jackbox 1-4 so my knowledge is lacking.

Dang, this review is actually really well done. Thoughts come across clearly and ideas brought to the table for improvements are really good and agreeable. I've actually bought most of the jackbox series because of these reviews and we've been playing them near nonstop on Discord. It's a great time. The only thing i don't care for Jackbox is the fact that nothing ever gets updated. If a game is really solid but has one really annoying thing that keeps you from coming back to it, it will never get changed. They might make a sequel to it later down the line, but even if they do that, they'll probably just add some other annoying thing that still keeps it from being truly good. I get keeping the games a certain way as to not split people who preferred old rules over new, but when something is basically entirely frowned upon, I don't see why a simple change can't be dropped for any game. Even if someone were to prefer the old rules, just make it an option in the option menu. That's the only thing that keeps these games from truly being great

Tee Ko is probably the favorite in my group. I think it's good depending on the group you're in. There's been other groups I've played it with that didn't have the same laugh. However, With my core group, we've all accepted it's not about who wins at the end, the real winner is who's drawing and who's slogan made everyone in the room laugh the hardest, and seeing your drawing get picked and hearing everyone's laughter is such a good experience. It really does depend on your group though. Also I see you using Way of Life at 22:37. I see you're a man of culture as well

Very excited for the rest of these. Been a fun series so far

I really would like a fakin it sequel, I feel like they could really improve it Eg) you could have a hand up button, a button you press to say it’s that person, and a assortment of faces you can choose from (also allow camera to make faces in with your face before you start.)

Ah yes, this was the golden age for jackbox party packs, 3,5, and 6 are undoubtably the best, but just saw an ad for jackbox party pack 7, cant wait

Finally lol. Can't wait for 4!

Me and my friends play Tee-KO where we just disregard points or scoring entirely. It is a flawed system, but we have had the funniest Jackbox experiences just screwing around in Tee-KO. It's by far my favorite Jackbox game.

I won one of silokhawk's trivia murder party's on stream (sonic stream).

I want that IT'S ME PAPER MARIO shirt.

Something I like about Guesspionage is that it works a lot better with a small amount of players than other games like Fibbage.

OKAY FIRST OFF I WAS REALLY EXCITED FOR THIS REVIEW FOR THE LONGEST TIME!!! pp3 was my first and fave pack!!!! the way you explain how the games work is SO perfect, i applaud for going into detail with everything, speaking of which, your concepts for scoring systems and even new game concepts, that was amazing!!!!! especially the fakin' it one, you even when out of your way to make ur own visuals, i REALLY love that!!! (jackbox needs to hire you tbh, WOULD LOVE THAT) as a fakin' it fan, it really made me realize that fakin' it has so much potential as one of the greatest jackbox games but due to its limited game mode, not many can play it as often... overall i'm so glad you reviewed this, party pack 3 is one of the most well loved packs in the series because of it's fun games and awesome concepts and memorable characters, i can't wait to see more of your reviews!!!!!!!!

11:50 it says in tiny text when you start the game that they don’t actually have access to everything that they say they do in the game (duh), and that the percentages are from twitter polls

Guesspionage is unironically one of my favorite jackbox games. It's just the music, the suspense, and the general atmosphere is awesome. (Also fakin' it is just PEAK)

Tee K.O. with points already exists. It’s called Champ’d Up

Another birthday gift from Silokhawk? Thanks!

This was my first ever Jackbox game. This is what got me loving these games.

I've had the most fun in Tee KO out of all jackbox games because as long as you don't care about scoring its amazing

Guesspionage was surprisingly good. When could I’ve ever had a conversation about hot dog sauces for 10 minutes.

LETS GO ANOTHER JACKBOX REVIEW

From what I've heard, Champed Up in 7 is basically TeeKO 2, so that's neat.

BIG NEWS EVERYONE! TEE K.O. 2 HAS BEEN CONFIRMED FOR PARTY PACK 10!

Glad to have you back, big guy. Better yet, you’re tackling my personal favorite box😊

Jackbox 3 is my favorite It's one of two i've played, but still. My personal ranking of the five games is 5) Guesspionage 4) Tee K. O. (I don't really like it all too much but it feels so weird putting it in last place) 3) Quiplash 2 (Quiplash hasn't really been my thing, especially because sometimes you ened up with the same or similar answers) 2) Fakin it (Social deduction game) 1) Trivia murder party

I love Tee K.O.,outside of Quiplash it's probably my favorite Jackbox game to play with my friends. Though there seems to be a bug that at times keeps certain players from actually submitting their drawings,which gets incredibly frustrating. But yeah,a future iteration of the game with a scoring system would be dope.

When I played TKO on stream, I was dying laughing due to the t-shirts. In fact, I am very tempted to buy one that was made since it was basically Silokhawk merch. I’m one of the people that love TKO but I can understand it’s drawbacks. I try my best to give everyone the best slogans and shirt design since, even if I don’t win, people are laughing at the shirt that I basically made. For example, at 18:49 I needed up winning the game with this t-shirt by using both Silok’s design and slogan. I may have made it, but it rewards Silok since it shows people like his humor. But as a whole, I love this party pack. It was the one that made me decide to buy and present the series to my friends and family period. Now I’m obsessed and I can thank Quiplash, TKO, and TMP for the main reasons.

My favorite all time play I've ever done in Jackbox was Quiplash 2's acro-lash. The acronym was POG, and I put "Banned from Twitch."

3 jackboxes down, 4 to go!

i don't know why but hearing you talk about trivia murder party is just 😙👌

I don’t have online friends but my friends and I always love fakin’ it when we’re playing jackbox at a gathering

"I've never met anyone who didnt like guesspionage" Haha about that....

i remember one time i played fakin it on stream. it worked somewhat, we had to make a certain discord channel just to play without spam, but it was passable. hands of truth we just said yes or no, you gotta point we @'d, number pressure is self explanatory, and for face value we used emojis.

You never played with a parachute? That’s like the one thing everyone does in primary school

I can't wait for the party pack 4 vid me, my siblings and my dad always have a good time with fibbage 3, civic doodle and monster seeking monster.

"name a complex foreign language " is what my buds in fakin it got. I (the faker) got "name a foreign food that is delicious" I put down rice, since I thought the prompt was "name a foreign food that is gross", NOPE it was "name a foreign language, rice". I love jackbox I swear to god

I remember I played Faking it with my brother and some of his side of the family, and the question was put up 7 fingers if your name has a "A" in it and put up 5 if not, someone put up 3

This was the first Jackbox that I played and it was a blast!!!! I discovered it by the beginning of the quarantine and played it with my friends on Discord, it was phenomenal. Later I bought the pack 7 and it was also great but 3 still has my heart.

3:23 Okay That's Funny 6:09 12:05 14:46 Use Tomato Because Some People Thinks They're Fruit While Others Think They're Vegetable

a lot of people are saying that champed up is tko 2, including myself when the pack first came out, but in my current opinion it doesn't have the same gameplay elements that make tko what it is. yeah it has a similar premise, but the idea of making a tshirt with other peoples' art and slogans was completely lost. i'd consider champed up to be more of a spiritual successor to tko than a straight up sequel under a different name. if anything, the core gameplay of using other peoples' submissions was incorporated into talking points and the premise of drawings going head to head in a battle was reworked into champed up.

The "percentage of people that played with parachutes" I get. Me and literally everyone I have talked to has played with parachutes

Face Value is almost one of the funniest categories of fakin it. Its hard af for the faker but its funny as hell seeing them doing the complete opposite reaction you would give.

I love how in faking it each category is either easy as a faker and hard as a player or easy as a player and hard as a faker, so picking the category you’ve gotta keep in mind if you want to give yourself an advantage in the off chance you’re the faker. Imo, the difficulty is Hands = easy as faker hard as player Point = pretty balanced Fingers = easy as player hard as faker Face = hard for everyone

I was scared my friend group wouldn’t understand Tee KO enough to have fun with it, but it’s quickly become our favorite in the pack. Still hoping for a Tee KO 2 one day!

Don’t know what you’re doing in my recommend but sure why not

My favorite has to be quip lash 2. It's such an easy game to get into and everyone who plays ends up having a great time

A discord server I'm in actually found a way to play fakin it without playing in person. Basically we use a voice chat for talking and a text chat for the prompts, it goes like this (i copied and pasted this from the server) -Hand of Truth: Here you will simply type "i raised" or "i didnt raise" in the chat and we'll go off that. -You Gotta Point: Here simply type another players name in the chat. -Face Value: Post an emoji that reflects a face you would make, if there isn't one get ready to be called the faker. -Number Pressure: Just type a number from 1 to 10 based on the prompt you were given. The final round (Text You Up) is played exactly as it's intended.

TKO is one of those games where it’s more about the journey than the destination. People enjoy it so much because it gets so insanely stupid that you can’t help but laugh. Sure the scoring sucks but you don’t get mad because you lose, usually ever. I feel like a scoring system could add unnecessary stakes and complexity to a game that’s entirely themed around being an open canvas for anything to happen.

9:45 The fact that Jar Jar Binks is the most bad-ass is halarious

You're pretty good at editing, especially when making those fake game footage bits when suggesting improvements!

I have only played IRL, never online so fakin it has always been one of my favorites

For your Information: Guesspionage is based on People Interviewed in Minnesota, and only those.

My main gripe with Tee K.O. is that only 1/2 of your drawings are actually used. So you might spend a ton of time working on something that is never used. You solutions with the different point allocations might help with that, but it could still lead to games where one player had neither their drawings nor phrases used, which is not fun for them.

If it's any help, I'm in the UK and it's kinda weird to have not played with a parachute in some regard growing up - usually group games involving either moving balls around it or running under it (mostly in, like, preschool and reception)

Ur telling me that u never played with one of those massive parachutes in school?! Although the data would make sense if it was just the US

party pack 4 review when

We all played with parachutes in school, this is not an opinion it is straight facts

Oh man Tee KO was fun to play

Im loving these reviews, amazing work

By far my favorite pack so far, Haven't been able to get friends toghteher for 7 yet

im absolutely biased because i love both trivia games and horror aesthetics, but trivia murder party (and trivia murder party 2 which didn’t change much) is one of my favorite games not just in jackbox but in general

Fakin it is the type of game that succeeds in many but trips at a slightly big rock

11:40 WHo PlAyED wITh pArACHuTes Me: oh so that percentage is ridiculous because it should be 100%

Bruh, jack box should hire you to prototype the games

I think that idea round not playing Fakin it in person and changing it is really GOOD!

Now that 7 has quiplash, I will probably almost never open jackbox 3. I wasn't a huge fan of tko personally. But 3 is still the one I'd recommend anyone buy first, as I did.

The Shane dawson cat response on the R.M.C. acro lash killed me

like 10 seconds in and I’m already hit in the face with persona 3 music. A man of culture, I do declare!

I think the T-Shirt artists and slogan writers who win should have their victory speeches read out along with the victor who put the two together.

14:49 one time i was playing with my family and the prompt was "something you would like to sleep in" or something but the faker got "your favorite breakfast food" yeah it's kind of dumb sometimes

Excited for jack box 4 review

I cant wait for you to review #7

I think Pack 3 is my favourite, but I also really like 4 and 5. The middle of the series is the peak so far imo

I love fakin it and I love seeing the respect for it. The animation and music are very good. Along with that, the different categories, the questions in them, and using strategy to detect the faker is so fun. Plus the fact that the faker has to act natural and use psychological and deceptive tactics to blend in is so clever. This game mixes clever and logical detection and psychological deception perfectly. Dont get me wrong, it could use more than a 6 player max, should be 6-10. It sucks you have to play in person and they should probably revise the faker role so that instead of getting no prompt, you get one that is different than everyone else and is somewhat cohesive to the topic which could help the faker defend their point better and not look like a massive outlier. Also make some more relatable prompts. Overall, it’s a great clever and fun game that should be remade with these changes. It could maybe even make it flawless.

Can jackbox just hire Silok to explain their games?

My favorite videos

i want wii party now

With Fakin' It my sister screams what she has to say at the top of her lungs every time

often when me and my friends play fakin it and get you gotta point we just type the name of the player into the video call chat

Please do these more often these are extremely entertaining

'Parachutes' were a thing most British kids played with at school. I doubt it's the type of parachute you're thinking though, it's basically just a big multi-colored sheet that kids at primary school (I think that's Elementary for Americans) run underneath while everyone else holds it up

who was Comedy Man? That's usually my default name
