Overview
The Jackbox Party Pack 3 is a multi-device multiplayer party game collection developed and published digitally by Jackbox for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Amazon Fire TV, PC, Mac, and Linux on October 18, 2016. It was later released digitally for the Android TV on October 20, 2016, the Apple TV on December 3, 2016, and the Nintendo Switch on April 13, 2017.
It is the sequel to the Jackbox Party Pack 2 (and the third in the annual series of the same name). The games included are:
- Quiplash 2 (3-8 players) - The second installment of the Quiplash series (after the original game and its Party Pack 2 update), with new potential prompts, the option for lobby hosts to make their own prompts, and an updated final round. Players give answers ("quips") to random comedic prompts, which is then faced head-to-head with another quip for the same prompt (where the players who didn't provide the quips vote).
- Trivia Murder Party (1-8 players) - A horror-themed trivia game with multiple-choice questions. Players who get questions wrong participate in "The Killing Floor", where they participate in a random mini-game to determine who "lives" and "dies". "Dead" players can participate differently in the mini-games.
- Guesspionage (2-8 players) - A trivia game themed on the surveillance state. Players take turns guesstimating the percentage of particular survey results, with other players then guessing whether the real answer is higher or lower than the result. The player who is guesstimating gets points based on their proximity to the correct answer, while the other players get points based on if their guess is right. Audiences in lobbies with more than five viewers are surveyed, which is used instead of the "global data".
- Tee K.O. (3-6 players) - A combination the Party Pack 1 game Drawful and the Party Pack 2 game Quiplash. After using their device both to draw three random "t-shirt designs" and to enter random slogans, players receive a random set of player designs and player slogans and combine them to form a single winning t-shirt. Players then pit their t-shirt against other players' t-shirts in a gauntlet of head-to-head voting.
- Fakin' It (3-6 players) - A social deduction and deception game similar to the party game Mafia/Werewolf. Unlike other games in the series, Fakin' It requires players to make some sort of physical action (such as raising one of their hands or pointing to another player). Most players are given a "task" (a reason for doing their action) while one player (the "Faker") is not given any instruction, and must successfully convince the other players that they understood the task.
A standalone version of Quiplash 2, titled Quiplash 2 InterLASHional, was released for the PC, Mac, and Linux on April 8, 2020 (with a future release for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch). In addition to the original 100 English prompts, this version includes translations of all prompts into French, Italian, German, and Spanish.
