The Jackbox Party Pack is the brand of party games by Jackbox Games that first popularized the "phones as controllers" paradigm. Each entry contains five party games designed to be played with a phontroller, and potentially over livestreaming services, most prominently Twitch.

Features unique to Jackbox Party Packs include:

  • sharing content from finished games
  • audience players — In some games, extra players who are not part of the game proper can still play along to the minigames or influence the outcome of the game.
  • approval of written answers by moderators to mitigate trolling
  • integration with Twitch account, requiring users to log onto Twitch to mitigate trolling

Most Jackbox Party Pack games are for 3 to 8 players, though the player count varies by game (from You Don't Know Jack 2015 being for 1 to 4 players, to Lie Swatter being for up to 100 concurrent players).

Jackbox Party Packs are available for many different platforms, including PC, Mac, Linux, and various consoles.
