Evaluation

The Jackbox Party Pack 8 launched on October 13, 2021 as a self-contained collection of five party games — Drawful Animate, Job Job, The Poll Mine, Weapons Drawn, and The Wheel of Enormous Proportions. It shipped as a complete product with no post-launch content updates. The only DLC ever listed is the game's soundtrack, released the day after launch on October 14, 2021. Jackbox Games' model is to release new standalone Party Packs rather than update existing ones. The developer news associated with this title consists entirely of announcements for newer products in the franchise: the Naughty Pack (September 2024), Survey Scramble (October 2024), Party Pack 11 (October 2025), and Party Pack 12 (announced May 2026, releasing October 15, 2026). These are all separate titles sold on their own store pages — not updates to Pack 8. Pack 8 launched as a finished product and has received no post-launch content additions in the nearly five years since release. It is complete.

About The Jackbox Party Pack 8

The eighth installment of the beloved Jackbox Party Pack franchise is here! Five hilarious new games will energize your next game night, holiday party, happy hour, or video call.

No extra controllers needed - players use their phones or tablets to play along! Got a bigger group? Play with up to 10 players and up to 10,000 audience members.

The Jackbox Party Pack 8 is currently in English only. This game does not support online matchmaking but can still be enjoyed remotely using livestreaming services or video conferencing tools.

About Each Game

Drawful Animate

(3 -10 players) - It’s alive! The guessing game with terrible drawings and hilariously wrong answers makes a dynamic return. In this revamped title, players create looping, two-frame animations based on weird and random titles.

.

The Wheel of Enormous Proportions

(2-8 players) - Trivia has never been so large! A fantastic, mystical wheel challenges you with a variety of trivia prompts. Winners are awarded slices of the Wheel’s face with a chance to win big with each nail-biting spin. In the end, one player will have their most burning question answered by the great Wheel.

.

Job Job

(3-10 players) - Use other people’s words to create unique and funny answers to classic job interview questions. Go head to head to see who scores the job!

.

The Poll Mine

(2-10 players) - A survey game that’s all about YOU! Split into teams and see who can escape from the witch’s lair! Players individually rank their choices to a difficult question, then must guess how the group answered as a whole. How well do you know your friends?!

.

Weapons Drawn

(4-8 players) - A social deduction game where everyone is both a murderer and a detective. Players doodle all the clues, hiding a letter from their name in the weapon drawings. Can you solve murders while trying to get away with your own?

.

How to Play Remotely

Players use any web-enabled device (like a smartphone or tablet) to join the game and play along. When playing with remote players, you can use a video conferencing tool like Zoom, Steam Broadcast, Google Hangouts, Discord, and more to connect with others! Just share your screen while on a call and make sure you look for prompts to share audio.
