Playing games online with your friends doesn't have to be expensive. These web-browser games are free and just as fun as anything you'd pay for.
PostsWith eleven fantastic Jackbox Party Packs to choose from, there are now so many different minigames to try. Some of the games involve drawing, while other games are all about writing the funniest answer. You'll likely have a lot of fun no matter what pack you go for, but what party pack offers the most incredible, most entertaining experience? To help make that decision, here are all the Jackbox games ranked.
Updated May 1, 2025 by Gabrielle Castania: Last year, we had the release of the Jackbox Naughty Pack instead of a standard-size party pack, as well as plenty of updates to the games in older favorites. There's another Party Pack rumored for sometime in 2025, though, so we're updating this ranking with a small insight as to when the new installment is going to come out, and what we can expect from it.

In a list to determine which Jackbox Party Pack is the best, unfortunately, one pack has to be in last place even if all of them have their merits. The original party pack has five casual games for you to enjoy. Fibbage is a classic — it involves crafting convincing lies to fool others. Drawful allows everyone to test their drawing skills. Both are great games that will always go down well with groups of friends.
The main issue with this first pack is the lack of variety. You Don't Know Jack and Lie Swatter are two variations of trivia games, and Drawful and Fibbage are similar as well. The remaining game, Word Spud, can fall flat at a party if the energy isn't right. Although the selection of games in this pack can be a lot of fun, you'll get more variety elsewhere.

Whether you're good at drawing or not, Jackbox drawing mini games are always a ton of fun.
Posts By Luke AckroydZeeple Dome is probably the most unique game here, where ou'll attempt to fling your character around an arena to hit your enemies. It can be chaotic fun, but the fiddly controls can make it quite frustrating. Split The Room has a great theme, but the game doesn't quite hold up.This pack offers some creative experiences, but you'll likely not be rushing back for more rounds of most of the games within.

The new game is Let Me Finish, which asks you to debate all kinds of mature themes, like pointing out where an inanimate objects butt might be, for example.
We've also got two adult versions of classic Jackbox games added in the Jackbox Naughty Pack, with Fakin' It All Night Long adding an assortment of lewd suggestions and game modes, while Dirty Drawful tasks players with letting their filthy imaginations run wild on the digital canvas.

The Jackbox Party Starter is a great choice if you have not already purchased the other packs and are trying to figure out what is the best Jackbox Party Pack for your group. It includes Quiplash 3, Tee K.O., and Trivia Murder Party 2, which are all incredible games. There is a bit of everything: trivia, jokes, and drawing. They are all fast-paced games that will get everyone in your group laughing, and the pack is also cheaper than the other options, making it less daunting for newcomers to take a chance and buy it for their friend group.
This starter is probably not worth getting for those who already have other Jackbox Party Packs. You'll have more variety with other packs on this list. The Jackbox Party Starter does update these games to include the same accessibility options as later Party Pack releases, but if you've got the full versions of the games already, there's not enough new content to justify buying them again.

The Jackbox Party Pack 6 is a bit of a mixed bag. Trivia Murder Party 2 is fantastic - It captures the tone of the previous version well, and its final round has less of a runaway-winner feel to it. Role Models is great for getting to know your friends. Joke Boat is an attempt at a new Quiplash but feels too restrictive. Dictionarium can be enjoyable as you create new words, but it isn't the most exciting game.

How long can you last in these?
Posts By Luke AckroydPush The Button is one of Jackbox's more ambitious games that takes an alternate approach to Among Us. It is a fun game, but it often comes down to random guesswork when attempting to find out who the aliens are. It is excellent to see Jackbox getting more ambitious with their games, but sometimes simpler ones work best. The pack has some great additions but some duds too.

The fourth party pack has some fun and creative games within it. Fibbage returns and adds a fantastic 'enough about you' round that makes it more personal to your group, and Monster Seeking Monster is a quirky dating game. Survive The Internet relies on your friends giving you good prompts to work with, but with the right group can be hilarious.
Civic Doodle is similar to Gartic Phone in some ways, but t isn't the strongest drawing game in of the Jackbox series. Bracketeering can be fun with a big group or an audience to add to the votes but can feel a little repetitive, even with various twists in each round. Overall, this pack has a wide-ranging selection of games that will keep you coming back.

Posts By Andrés GánemDodo Re Mi is a rhythm game that doesn't quite feel as much like a classic party game experience, but is worth performing a song or two. FixyText has you writing incoherent messages with your friends, but it feels slightly repetitive after a bit. Finally, Hypnotorious is initially confusing but very engaging. The addition of a secret outlier adds a delightful twist to the experience. Overall, the Jackbox Party Pack 10 has a unique set of games that show that the series can still get creative with its concepts.

The Jackbox Party Pack 7 has some great games! Quiplash returns for its third installment, where you'll get to answer silly prompts with ridiculous answers. Its final round perhaps isn't as strong as Quiplash 2's had been but it is still a hit when you're playing with friends. Champ'd Up is an incredibly creative take on the classic drawing game formula: this time, you're drawing all kinds of different fighters to go up against one another in random events. Finally, Blather 'Round is an excellent guessing game to offer some variety.
Talking Points and The Devils And The Details are probably the weakest games in the pack but are still entertaining enough. Talking Points works best with a group of outgoing people who likely know one another pretty well for sake of loosening up, eager to give ridiculous presentations. The Devils And The Details can get very chaotic with too many players shouting over one another, but it is a great cooperative experience if you can overcome that. Each game is worth playing at least once with your group.

The Jackbox Party Pack 9 is the 2022 release for the series, and it certainly proves that the franchise has not gotten stale. It is full of great entries, and even the weaker games of the pack are still delightful. Quixort is the big highlight, splitting your group into teams to organize trivia questions into a timeline. The prompts are intriguing and will ensure plenty of discussions across the teams. Roomerang is like an extended Quiplash that benefits greatly if your group gets into character as reality TV stars.
Fibbage is always a classic when it reappears in Jackbox Party Packs, and the fourth entry builds upon this in creative ways. Nonsensory is Jackbox's version of the Wavelength board game, but the addition of drawing rounds, it adds a silly layer of chaos. Junktopia is the weakest entry of the pack, as you attempt to create ridiculous backstories for pieces of junk. With a creative group, you'll still have a laugh, but it feels a bit limited in scope. With this pack, you might not be blown away, but you'll still be in for a fantastic experience.

There's also the return of lying with Fibbage 2. Earwax has you voting on ridiculous sound effects, and Bidiots has you competing in an auction over your drawings. Finally, Quiplash XL offers a vast collection of hilarious prompts. There isn't a miss with this pack. All five games are a lot of fun, offering simple concepts that will have everyone laughing throughout. It's been a longtime favorite for a reason!
