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?

Fun but buggy.

This pack is fun, I think it has alot of varierty in the type of games.

We've had issues with the sound getting getting disconnected and the game being laggy when airplaying to AppleTV. (This may be AppleTV related and not releated to the game)

The biggest issue we had is "The Wheel of Enormous Proportions" is unplayable. We've tried to play it and it crash halfway though 4/5 times.

Disappointing -- Get the iOS version

Very disappointing to find they've disabled running apps purchased in iOS on Apple Silicon-based Macs. Why not enable this so those with technically capable hardware don't have to use AirPlay and drain two device batteries.

They did the right thing with synchronizing the iOS and tvOS apps, and could easily add macOS to that umbrella if it were enabled. And with minimal work required.

Games are enjoyable, but group size is limited when you are mobile. AirPlay over to a MacBook works okay, but drains both batteries quicker than just running on a single device. I would recommend getting the iOS version, and not the macOS version, because you get much less for your money with this version. With the iOS version, you also are able to install DIRECTLY onto your Apple TV -- so AirPlay isn't required. Additionally, you can AirPlay from iOS to your MacBook, iMac, etc. with the iOS version.

Hopefully Jackbox will enable use of their iOS apps on Apple Silicon hardware soon, because there's no technical reason not to.

Perfect!

This worked perfectly last night and I’m so excited to try this out with more family members.
