Every JACKBOX GAME Ranked from Worst to Best

I ranked EVERY JACKBOX GAME from worst to best. Yes. All 45 individual game from the 9 party packs! With that many games to cover, there's bound to be disagreement, but I think any fan of Jackbox will enjoy!

What’s the Jackbox game that you think needs a sequel?

[@lil_jalapeno2661]

Fib age is always a good one

[@Wilted19]

Definitely Patently Stupid, always have so much fun with that one

[@ItsEds7]

Earwax, that game has so much potential and my friend group loves that game

[@norhe.]

I dunno

[@rileywright-ms5yo]

Champ'd up

[@Enraged.]

Survive the Internet is easily my favorite game. It's so good when you get with a group of people that are even a little witty. The random ass prompts mixed with people making stupid answers is the perfect combination. I know it's your opinion but I can't believe you put it outside the top 10.

[@ImAlwaysBanned6769]

robbed

[@rollinchristiansen6038]

SAME I LOVE SURVIVE THE INTERNET

[@Wilted19]

Trivia Murder Party is my all time favourite Jackbox game. I like the goofy host, silly questions and fun mini-games and the last dash is always so intense

[@HappyMirica]

It's trivia murder party

[@tibbytobby]

i’ve never really been a fan, I find it quite boring tbh. but i also prefer the games that let you write/draw your own stuff. Also bunger

[@tmphost]

same here! ngl the host is probably my favorite thing about tmp he’s so silly and i love his personality and humor

[@smughatkid08]

Bun-gerrr!

[@Theofficialfrenchtoast]

I loveeeee this game

[@elilynch9006]

Another day of asking macro to try garden warfare 2

[@broncosfan99]

Yes please!

[@actionpax1716]

I NEED THIS.

[@teddy-nk6zh]

WE MUST HAVE THIS

[@madturkey9819]

Yes

[@pedinho6291]

That game is one of the goats

[@mustfa.islam9]

I luckily had the chance to try Fakin' it with my friends once And believe me that it's amazing I agree that it's a problem for a game to require physical attendance to play, but it was worth it

[@tommyiii579]

Fr, my friend group plays Fakin it every time we play Jackbox in person

[@justanoreo2.0]

Agreed

[@bigboydevine]

Me and my friends play over discord and never really had any issues when you sort out rules properly

[@yaj_yaj]

Agreed, but it could use some rule changes. I don’t think I or barely anyone I play with has ever won as the faker, so it’s pretty unbalanced

[@jojospider]

fakin it so low is a crime. if you are able to play it in person its one of the top 5 games in all packs.

[@okajkaraca5013]

Monster seeking monster. The zombie has an EZ autowin ability. like forreal

[@bobthebox2993]

Yeah, the zombie is really dumb

[@HelloThere-yl3iu]

My current favorite game is Talking Points simply because my friends and I made up a new variant to it. There's only three of us, so what we do is each join on two devices. That way you get to give two talks, and it can lead to some cursed rounds, especially if you get picked to choose the pictures for your own talk.

[@maverickREAL]

This really just proves that the best Jackbox games are the ones that actually give you creative input

[@parkerplays6465]

Faking it being 29 is the biggest crime of all time

[@demonssinglosongs]

not when you dont know jack and earwax are lower

[@Puggylord316]

The biggest problem with the game is it has to be in person. Most other games work completely fine over the internet. But that one specifically requires you all to be in a group in person, where you have a screen large enough for you all to see while also being able to display the game itself. (Because unless you have your Xbox/pc plugged into a tv, that could be an issue)

[@strawberrytofu5174]

2:38 the weird wording is one of my favorite parts about you don’t know Jack compared to other trivia games. It’s fun to try to figure out what the question is asking

[@saintnick7252]

Yeah, YDKJ is criminally low on this list. Put some respect on the game that started it all.

[@Twentydragon]

10:45 - The Mummy's ability is not objectively worse. You're _stealing_ half a heart from those players. The Vampire only receives _bonus_ hearts, which don't reduce their victims' scores.

[@reeeedst53]

i still think that vampire is more effective since half a heart doesn't do very much anyway getting three and a half hearts by stealing is a lot less than seven hearts

[@mannixminecraft5645]

though getting 3.5 and stealing 3.5 does also equal 7, so it could still be effective if used right

[@Puggylord316]

that is true, the thing is though that a lot of it can depend on who the vampire/mummy infects. Like if they infect a zombie, then that zombie is basically doubling up the work they need to put in because its also trying to spread. And the mummy can only take away half a heart from 1 person each, so as long as the vampire gets to 1 more person they will win.

[@Silver-AG47]

10:53 I had to mute my mic at the end of this game because I got unironically MAD that I lost this game solely because I was Mummy and Bumble was Vampire. Never did I think a Jackbox game would piss me off.

[@BumbleL]

L Bozo smoke that bozo pack stay bad

[@roddy964]

Unfortunate

[@SeveralOnions]

Talking Points and Mad Rap City are definitely my favorite of the games I own so far. They're both crazy fun with friends and with peeps you've yet to break the ice with, so it's a W pack to pull out during a party

[@HappyMirica]

Mad verse city

[@Youjvwhw]

i love talking points

[@theseb5981]

personally I think Mad Verse City is only great with friends, it's much better to roast someone if you already know them 😈

[@somefrickinbrick9575]

You did You Don't Know Jack dirty imo

[@RoyaLotad]

Earwax has given me giggles and I don't mind playing it every once in a while. I think it's a good foundation that should get a sequel to make it a bit more... More. I can't say the same about Zeeple Dome.

[@toastghost4320]

In earwax I got the great combo once of "who wants hot dogs" and pigs squealing. the prompt ( what's inside of a wizards robe ) didn't matter, since it was really funny

[@deviouschimp4663]

Earwax gets old if you play too much, but is pretty fun otherwise. I agree a sequel can improve it drastically because it honesly feels unfinished. However, I have to disagee but Zeeple Dome was pretty fun when my family played max lobby. The fun for us came from bullying the person who missed a kill. Or everyone flinging desperately to save one another as we cry for help haha.

[@bobthebox2993]

Yeah, while earwax definitely deserves a low spot, I was surprised to see it on the lowest. I'd have expected WordSpud to be there personally.

[@brighamgarrett7000]

that "it's joever" line at the end of champd up was fire

[@SmoothTurtle840]

Quixort at #28 is WILD dude. That game is goated and it deserves much more love than what you’re giving it.

[@MoonlightMirage]

You Don't Know Jack at 35th...is fascinating. You might wanna check out the 90's CD-ROM versions c:

[@Flufayy]

I love YDKJ, the 2011 version is probably my favorite trivia game ever, and I recently picked up one of the old ones. That being said, I don't really blame people for not liking the way the questions are written. It can often be tough to figure out what you're even being asked. I think that adds to its charm and gives it layers, but yeah it doesn't jive with everybody. Really hoping we can get a new one in the somewhat near future though.

[@xvgm24]

It's actually Bracketeering that ends up being my group's favourite out of all the games (Tee K.O is up there too). We generally don't see the issue with the repeated prompts in the first round since we find it intense and thrilling seeing which answer is the funniest of the bunch. And then the second and third rounds that come afterwards are just glorious, the most hilarious moments have come from those rounds. Definitely the game to play if you have a party of eight or more. :)

[@adamnicholls8708]

The fact that 30 out of 37 jackbox game series are fairly good is amazing. I would argue the order of the bottom 8, with earwax & bracketeering being higher and jokeboat at the bottom. Also would lower drawing games a couple of places, while raising good trivia games. That's just personal preference though.

[@sky3sth3l1m1t]

I don’t know why I love this video so much it’s just comforting! Thanks Macro!

[@presidentofslh9139]

I have so many good memories playing these games My personal favorites are quiplash and murder party

[@defnotisaiah3210]

glad you said that about quiplash 2, i love the visuals of the third but having the same final round gets dull after a while

[@evanbelcher]

Blather Round and Trivia Murder Party 2 are my favorites. I will forever hype up Blather Round, I just wish it took more than 6 players. Quiplash is a classic, and Talking Points is really fun although that game is the worst on this whole list to play with an unfunny group of people (source: I played it once with my coworkers)

[@theinsaneone_]

My group and I love The Devils and the Details, but that might be because of the chaos we play with. We all play chaotically as possible, and are super good at the game, leading to a standoff between the selfish people and the people who are, as the selfish ones call them, “party poopers.” It’s a balance to find, but with the in jokes we have we make it work and it’s a ton of fun. A lot of these games I feel like the fun and enjoyment comes from who you play with

[@zidneyu]

We also love The Devil and the Details 😆

[@hydelta]

My family LOVES Jackbox, but we don't own all of them AND we are usually only 3, so we are severely limited. Our faves, though, are Wheel of Enormous Proportions, Fibbage, Bidiots, Job Job, and Drawful. Unfortunately Trivia Murder Party doesn't flow well with only 3 :( Tho it is my favorite when I get to play with a big group.

[@starsofskies2328]

I'm genuinely a little sad to see push the button so low, as the problems you gave it are what make the game good imo. It's so hard to be an alien in that game sometimes that the aliens genuinely need those abilities for the game to be fair.

[@maverickREAL]

It's... literally at #9?

[@starsofskies2328]

Top 10 sounds high, but out of 45 games that's only top 20%

[@hihigocat]

its good but dont discount the games above it, they are ranked higher for a reason

[@starsofskies2328]

The top 9 are there cause it's his list and those are his favorites, and he is a streamer so he will like the games that the community wants to watch rather than a game like push the button with no audience feature. They are there for a reason, cause he enjoys them.

[@binbag4203]

not really i’ve played maybe 2 games of it where the aliens didn’t win easily. the hacking also completely ruins the funniest part of the game which is trying to justify ur absurd answers, the best play is just to say you were hacked every time

[@jimhails]

Earwax is criminally underrated. There are still many ways to be creative with it and I’ve never laughed harder than playing earwax

[@kasane1337]

Funnily enough, Poll Mine is actually one of my favourite Jackbox games. I like all the discussions and how much you find out about people in the end when you're completely sure everyone picked the same #1 option only to realize you're literally the only one who picked that option at all. I just wish that the time you had to decide was longer.

[@dandylion3987]

blather round is my all time favourite jackbox game, especially fun when you get a really niche topic that you have to work really hard to convey like sharknado

[@BumbleL]

Who was that bumbleL guy who was making comedic quips and antidotes throughout the video man what a hoot!

[@oxycomic71]

Anyone else pooping while watching?

[@astrothelad]

The clever wording on YDKJ is part of the challenge -- it wouldn't be a Jackbox game or experience without it. YDKJ: The Ride still remains the best trivia game of all time, but unfortunately the Jackbox versions of YDKJ do feel watered down so I can understand the placement if you're not really into pop culture trivia.

[@torid.344]

This brought back so many good memories of finding ways to connect in 2020, these games really got us through it. Quiplash should’ve been number one. AND BIDIOTS DESERVES TOP TEN. The satisfaction of drawing the most crappy doodle, watching people bid over $5,000, only to loose $4,000, is the best feeling and leads to the greatest laughs. Also learned of some new games as well! Loved the video!

[@JadaVibin]

My silly little gremlin was the outro lol, great video!!

[@Speckitt]

2:13 whoever dares say bad things about Red Herring deserves to be trapped in Trivia Murder Party in real life.

[@downstageright3298]

Job Job is absolutely legendary in my friend group. It's the one we always come back to. Although, as a trivia fan, Fibbage and Trivia Murder Party have to be my favourite games overall.

[@flotyu]

I appreciate this video and the rankings, and I appreciate you putting yourself out on YT despite a speech impediment.

[@noyz-anything]

putting devils & details _over_ bracketeering when it's what gave us "fester's feast" and "gunther's luncheon" is wild

[@gegermofonsesca9398]

14:32 was so funny for no reason 😂

[@KamenRiderAliks]

I got super sad seeing Earwax on the bottom of the list because that's the game me and my friends always open with because it never fails to get an easy laugh. Survive the Internet and Job Job are the definite mainstays for casual play but Weapons Drawn is the one for when everyone is serious about drawing, so I was hoping those would be a bit higher. But you're entitled to your own rankings.

[@clarkmay]

SO AGREE I love Earwax

[@Tech1sh]

Having played jackbox for like 6 years now I can conclude that this list is pretty based

[@AG7-MTM]

Too bad you didn't consider YDKJ had a LOOOOOONG life before Jackbox came around

[@Haarunen]

The mummy steals hearts where as the vampire just gains them. Thus it's fair(er) that mummy has a downside.

[@robstanley46]

5:19 I’ve actually successfully done it online, you just can’t pick the point one. If you are going to do the point one, just have everyone write everyone else’s names down on paper and hold them up on camera to act as the “pointing”

[@danzemanatee]

Did it with my friends through Discord and we would all write our answers in the chat and send it at the same time, but it's just better in person cause you can't just quickly see where everyone's pointing and follow along online

[@nightowlowo149]

I heavily agree, something about creating a competitor knowing who your opponent is makes for A LOT of funny moments.

[@ClankyClanky]

Zeeple dome not being at the bottom is inSANE. Nice list tho

[@SKAron25]

I have to compliment the Santa Sleighs paradox answer at 21:16 , that was actually pretty smart and funny lmao. it's criminal that it lost to alligators.

[@sentralgaming5417]

Tee K.O. and Champ'd Up are also my favorite Jackbox games

[@CGR0cks]

I actually really enjoy Fakin’ It, mostly because I mainly play Jackbox in person, so party pack three has all bangers for me

[@GD_Crane]

My personal favorite is Talking Points, fire game.

[@mrflamingo2687]

Same

[@slim..reaper]

Lot of fun with the right group

[@GD_Crane]

@@slim..reaper Yeah, me and my friends usually play in person, so It's fun to go up in front of the TV to present.

[@tblais1041]

One of the worst games in my opinion.

[@Darkninjaneo]

Good to knwo you like board games now your off my hit list

[@alextang3860]

Love seeing Champ'd Up getting the respect it deserves

[@carsiccl]

I'd say YDKJ is pretty cool, but respect your opinion.

[@HappyMirica]

Mee too

[@fernandov6734]

Hey macro how u doin love ur vids keep up the good work

time to go down another jackbox ranking rabbit hole

[@cornfiles]

Proud to be the only person to draw among us for the entire 2 weeks 💕

[@logantotman1574]

The You Don't Know Jack slander is truly a crime. You're going away for a long time bub

[@CheesecakeMilitia]

I cannot stand the slander Word Spud regularly receives. It's such a perfect chill word association game - very different from the vibe of all the other text entry games that would follow it. My friend group loves playing it as a "warm up" game with a few people while we wait for more to join the Discord call. Blather Round is another chill favorite that we tend to play cooperatively. Edit: Damn, Dictionarium at #25 really shows how many of their games are great fun - that's the border where I was like "wow these are all bangers"

[@user-zz4sb6wm2i]

I love your videos macro!!!

[@sworleyshorts1036]

This video makes me want to invite some friends over to play jackbox

[@BRUHMANN3000]

Thank you macro

[@C4puch]

My favorite jack box moment was when my Internet went out mid talking points and my partner somehow clutched up and made me win

[@HighlighterGarrick]

so awesome to see another guesspionage fan

[@chizardium6925]

IMO best party pack is undoubtedly 7. It has a Quiplash, Champ'd up, Talking points(which is one of my favorites), and blather round, with the only bad game being devils and the details. although i don't actually own 7 on my current computer :(

The sequel to Drawful was actually called Drawful 2 but it wasn’t in a party pack, it was it’s own game

[@Imirui]

2:13 I absolutely agree with the top tiers, would probably move Greed (the blue doll from 1) to my children because I love the little shark guy. I also like Wrath (red from 1) but I can definitely understand not putting it higher.

[@billclinton8772]

fakin it can be fun in person with the right people

[@d4rkshadow826]

I have party pack 3 and my fave is trivia murder party, it’s always absolute chaos 😂

[@Mulletdog1]

That first game with the sounds had my family dying last night after Xmas dinner. Everyone thought it was hilarious. Maybe it gets old fast, but it was wicked

[@amesstarline5482]

15:48 Survive the Internet reminds me of the Tumblr Recontextualizing Trend. I love it.

[@CinnaBox]

now they need to make a game based on Reddit 50/50

[@discord_and_entropy]

I ended up going with the party pack 2. It has both quip lash and fibbage which are by far my two favorite, and also I like biddiots, it's fun

[@RuiShinobi]

Aight here me out real quick “Macro’s Macdown game show” it’s the macdown tournament but in the jackbox party games you choose a few and boom have people go at it

[@Shoey]

THANK YOU for the you don't know jack hate. how the hell is it that their, indeed, flagship titular game so mediocre?!

[@mxfreggerss]

It's because people are used to special flairs to trivia games(such as Fibbage or Trivia Murder Party) rather than simple trivia that can make you go into debt. Me personally I do like them, as well as most other trivia games(apart from The Wheel Of Enormous Proportions) especially their old ones. But, I understand why people don't like YDKJ

[@TheMeanderingduck6]

FixyText has the potential to be the best one of all the new games. It has everything that made the good ones great.

[@benhazevoet3012]

Quiplash is the goat

[@crystalkay7637]

4:50 instantly subscribed once I saw you put some respect on little ducky 💎

[@LylesNate]

Murder Trivia Party is my FAVORITE!!! ... Guesspionage is my favorite for laid back playing with fam & friends.

[@HenryStratton28]

Technically, you forgot Fibbage XL and Drawful 2, both games that are sold outside of party packs, but still a great list!

[@DevinJumper999]

That is such a great Top 5, can so agree on everything, although……I think TMP deserves a third sequel, we’ve been waiting for too long!!

[@mossyavarchives]

One time in Job Job there was a card that just said "bondage" over and over again

[@UltimatePostman]

I will say, my family and I love playing Jackbox games.

[@someonesomebody9952]

I felt like you should also do another ranking of this but for audiences. Some games actually work better with audiences like guesspionage and some don't work at all like monster seeking monster.

[@expandedsteam6985]

Shoutout to that Jaughn guy they seem super funny

2:37 "The questions might think that they're being clever, but they're really more frustrating and weirdly-worded." coming from someone who likes YDKJ, you just described the entire appeal of YDKJ. Half of the game is trying to figure out what the question really is.

[@wingedpeanut5703]

Valid list. Quiplash better than tee ko but its still valid

[@thechalklitbar]

as an extrovert, talking points is my absolute favorite game and it gets elevated even further if your whole group consists of extroverts 🤞
