It’s incredibly intense and frantic (so much so that I can hardly cope when I’m the faker), and I think the reason I love it so much is because there’s much more of a physical, human element to the game which is absent in Jackbox’s other titles. The Faker has to survive three rounds without getting caught by the other players, who have to confer and debate about who the faker is. Luck is a massive part, but being coy and keeping a straight face is vital. The other player receives no such task and is merely told to fake their answer and not get caught. Those players will then have to respond to the question, all at the same time, by either pointing at another player, lifting their hand or indicating a number with their fingers. In Fakin’ It, every player, aside from one, will receive a question on their touch screen device. My favourite game in the pack, and perhaps out of all the Jackbox games I’ve ever played, is Fakin’ It, a game about lying, subterfuge, bluffing and faking it until you make it. Sadly, the two remaining games don’t quite match the enjoyment of their compatriots. I’ve been playing near enough every night with my flatmates and it’s clear that three of the five games on offer are brilliant, the time has often whizzed by to 2am while we’ve been playing them without us even noticing. All five of the games, while varying in quality, are very different and manage to keep things fresh, which especially helps when the majority are of such a high quality. There isn’t a better game to whip out at parties, pre-drinks or just lazy gatherings than the Jackbox Party Packs, and the third installment into the series adds yet more hilarious fun and ample opportunities for extremely dark jokes, debates on how a person wipes their arse and heated hunts for a bluffing faker.įive games come with Jackbox Party Pack 3: the sequel to the much loved Quiplash, Guespionage, Trivia Murder Party, Fakin’ It and Tee K.O.
