I mean, a question about which book to read to ensure a happy ending in a massage parlour initially drew as many confused looks as it did laughs when the answer was revealed. That said, the questions are an incredibly unpredictable set of downright bizarre and improbable answers guaranteed to make you shout out your disbelief on a very regular basis. I’m not sure what it is, but while the scattergun approach of You Don’t Know Jack 2015 from the first party pack kept the pace flowing quickly, this feels a little slower-paced, and the cue card layout across the bottom plays host to a series of pictures with very little humour, context or purpose. It’s a bold move to make the generally rude General Knowledge game the headliner here, considering the series thrives on the input of the participants and there’s something off about its format. This fifth party pack then comes with another five games, four new ones and the return of You Don’t Know Jack. I guess the relative cheapness of the compilations helps keep the constant releases more palatable, but the packages are getting incredibly inconsistent with their overall quality. I’d have much preferred it if Jackbox Games just released new questions for existing games or new games via DLC. We’re onto a fifth instalment of the Party Pack series, which really does seem like overkill. After a few games at home I dragged my PS4 around to my mother’s house and got a load of extended family into it, and before I knew it my mum had bought a copy, my brother, my aunty and my cousins – the sense of fun is infectious and the sheer insanity of it all helps proceedings along. It was three years ago that my family got hooked on the original Jackbox Party Pack.
