Jackbox Games' Holiday Survival Guide and Party Pack Fire TV Release

[Shawn Zipay]

The Jackbox Party Pack is now on Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick. In addition to this release, the Jackbox Games people would like to wish you a happy holidays with a "how-to guide on surviving the season."

The Jackbox Party Pack includes 5 games to get you through the holidaze:
YOU DON’T KNOW JACK 2015 is the latest in the company’s long-running series of twistedly comedic trivia games, featuring hundreds of all-new questions.

Fibbage XL builds on the popular Fibbage: The Hilarious Bluffing Party Game. It features all the questions in the original game plus, by popular demand, a sizeable batch of brand-new questions (over 50% more).

Drawful is a new drawing game that puts a bizarre and laugh-inducing twist on classic drawing games, testing players to draw challenging prompts to life on their phones or tablets.

Word Spud is a battle of wits to finish partially formed thoughts, allowing players to customize the raunchiness level of the game to their liking.

Lie Swatter has thousands of funny, unusual trivia bits that players must identify as true or false.

The titles in the Jackbox Party Pack support same-room multiplayer and can be played with a mix of phones, tablets and computers, making it an easy, enjoyable fit for friends and families getting together soon.

It's worth mentioning that it's technically possible to play Lie Swatter online, since the trivia is also displayed on your phone alongside the options to choose Truth or Lie. Just make sure the other half of the game (computer/TV) is streamed online so the other players know whether they win or lose. While RTMP streaming is preferred (Hitbox.tv for instance), there's really nothing bad about Twitch's 45 second delay provided the streamer doesn't tell anyone in-chat what the answer is. Also worth mentioning that Jackbox Games didn't set any limit to Lie Swatter, so the 100 player limit is a lie (pun not intended). This also means you can easily crash the game by flooding it beyond 200 players. I think my game crashed when a streamer reached 216 players. Whoops!
