Do you remember, during the Covid-19 shutdown of 2020, that everyone slightly lost their minds? We all started making sourdough starters, took up knitting, or dedicated our entire being to making sure some weird little island full of Animal Crossing weirdos looked like a pumpkin farm, or something. We all became obsessed with turnips.
Amidst the lockdowns, the maker of Jackbox reported that it saw an increase of sales by roughly 1000% in March to May 2020. By the end of 2020, the developers recorded over 200 million players of its games (by this point, there were only seven Jackbox Games in existence, too).
This spike further secured the series’ status as one of the most important party game offerings in the video game market – standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the likes of Among Us and Fall Guys.
Now, we’re on the 10th Jackbox Party Pack, and to celebrate, we’ve teamed up with the publisher of the games to provide you lucky readers with the oppertunity to win the game for yourself – on whichever platform you want! The game is launching on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Steam – and by entering the competition below, you can select whichever one you want.
All you need to do is answer the question in the widget below (hint: you might want to check out our floor footage from last year’s EGX show) and comment under this article, telling us which platform you want to play the game on. We’ll be in touch with the winners on the week of November 1 to deliver your code, if you win. The competition is open to UK and IE entrants, only.
Please enable JavaScript to view competitions.
If you’re keen to show the game to your friends, there’s even a Twitch extension (released for streamers in December 2020) that allows viewers of their channels to directly participate in Jackbox games from the Twitch interface. Ideal for reaching out and mingling with your community, if you run a channel of any size.
