Office-appropriate and immediately engaging, the Controversial Questions game is an icebreaker that'll either make you love or re-examine your relationships.It's April Fools' day - it's a day for gags, jokes, pranks, witticisms, hoodwinking, buffoonery, japes, jests, larks, shenanigans, and channeling the raw, unmitigated power of an online thesaurus. It's also a day for news outlets to publish outrageous and/or facetious headlines just to yank the rug out from under you for laughs. We do legitimately think Jackbox is perfect to crack open for the occasion.įor the uninitiated, Jackbox Party Packs contain a selection of humorous and inventive party games that are perfect for playing with a group over a Zoom or Skype call. You can play on your phone, your PC, your laptop, consoles, and on - the technological bar for entry here is hardly exclusive. On a nearly bi-weekly basis, our staff actually gets together to play Jackbox and have a few laughs. There's no better way to learn entirely too much about your colleagues or humiliate them in the most harmless way possible. A good Quiplash prompt should work with a variety of audiences, but sometimes we create games for very specific events. If you're curious as to what the games themselves are, well, here are our favorite picks around the digital office here at TheGamer. It’s tough to pick a favourite Jackbox game, but it’s pretty easy to pick a favourite memory. Our weekly social night at TheGamer rotates between quizzes and games, and the game often ends up being Jackbox. There are many stories I could tell, but this one focuses on Tee-KO, from Party Pack 3. I like to have a few drinks when we’re on a social, and the more I laugh, the more I drink. On this particular night, everyone decided they’d suddenly sold out the O2 because the jokes were flowing and the beer was following suit. RELATED: Games Where Your Phone Is The Controller We decided to end on Tee-KO, which resulted in a mess of weird drawings that sort of matched with phrases, the best of which was a yellow blob shrugging with the caption “guess I’ll die”. Tee-KO ends and someone makes the horrendous mistake of telling me that you can actually buy the shirts you’ve just made as long as they’re not too filthy, which sounded like a fantastic idea after precisely two beers. Of course, that rules out about 80 percent of the shirts we’d just made, leaving a drunk me with what was definitely a butthole, or a poorly drawn “butter boy” with crooked teeth, multicoloured facial features, and eyes that stare beyond your soul. Underneath, as if his mantra, is the poorly-drawn word “butter”. Job Job sees you applying for a job and needing to impress your new boss, or as is often the case during our TheGamer socials, our actual boss. The catch is that you can only use the words contained in other people's answers to entirely different questions. This usually goes about as well as you'd expect from games of this type. The questions you answer to provide your fellow players with their words are surprisingly sensible. However, that doesn't mean the answers you'll get in return are. Not only will each original answer be split between two or three people, but for every person who writes something nice and useful, someone else will write a random string of curse words. Most Jackbox games are as funny as the people playing them and Job Job is no exception. When reviewing this version of Jackbox we were randomly gifted with a joke about someone who will remain nameless and their balls. Even months down the line this is still funny. It will never not be funny and it helps keep Job Job at the top of my list of excellent Jackbox games. ![]()
