The Jackbox Party Pack 3 Review & Individual Game Summary | Jackbox 3 Review

[@chippymann7600]

One of my friends actually ordered a tee-shirt he found hilarious after a game. It was a stick figure with a long schlong with the text "Why are you?" for those wondering. And he said it was actually really comfortable and worth the less than $20 he paid.

[@Fireatwilltwitch]

I'd consider buying merch, if it was creative enough

[@EvoBeDevo]

I actually ended up buying my winning shirt too~ A crude little drawing of a smiling snowman with the slogan "Someday you will face the wrath of God."

[@PorkyMinch]

I bought a shirt that had a fox and said "Run"

[@itsigloobuddies7712]

Someone in my group ordered one of the shirts we made too. It was a skull with the slogan, ‘Ketamine’

[@SmoothTurtle840]

@@EvoBeDevoYou were the one who made that?! I’ve 100% seen a meme or something of that one before, that’s so cool.

[@JNSStudios]

I’ve actually gone through all these Jackbox Pack reviews to sum up all the games for my family to see what we should get. It was the only source of reliable descriptions of the games. All the other videos had people talking over the rules to friends or they just muted the game. I’m glad you went over the games themselves. Thanks for that, man!

[@2leftthumbs]

Our own let's play content is likely guilty of that! So I'm glad to know that the videos that are more specifically describing and covering the games can fill that role :)

[@atomicpatra943]

Strangely enough, TEE K.O. tends to be the smash hit for my family. It usually ends up getting the funniest drawings + slogans out of everyone, even more than the likes of Quiplash. I feel like it’s an anomaly

[@loogiloogi5215]

Make it a scp

[@ndhart3213]

Same with mine also other jack box drawing games and quiplash

[@souporwormgaming]

Same here!

[@robstanley46]

It is a smash hit, it’s probably my favorite of the third party pack

[@giadaceletti4170]

Quiplash has been the source for many inside jokes with my friends :)

[@Fireatwilltwitch]

The Inside jokes is what makes it more funny

[@LyrLyrPantsOnFyr]

9:41 man,that’s very different than in my family. All the drawings in my family are pieces of crap and same for the slogans.A random slogan with a random crappy picture is what makes the game fun for me!

[@kouchka09]

NOTE : TMP (Trivia Murder Party) 2 had something different at the end, you need to answer ALL the corrects answers to win. So there's something new in it.

Oh god the timing of that is uncanny and awful all at once...

[@andersonluttrell6913]

If you haven’t seen yet, the poll mine in the new pack is essentially guesspianponge 2 and the director even says it was inspired by guesspianponge!

[@dragonmb7]

These are very good reviews and I’m very surprised how few views and subscribers this channel has.

[@2leftthumbs]

Slow and steady! I've had another channel for years. It felt like a pretty big risk to start up a new channel for these type of videos, but I am very excited that we are rounding 1000 subscribers in only a few months. Hopefully we just keep building and growing from here :)

[@TarlukLegion]

@@2leftthumbs Maybe reupload the non-letsplay videos still on 2 Left Thumbs (like the Jackbox reviews) over here to expand the video library on this channel for any newcomers?

[@2leftthumbs]

@@TarlukLegion There are weird tradeoffs there. KZbin favours videos that are older, and with high views. So those JackBox videos with 50k+ views would start over, and would never reach those levels again making them less discoverable. Which isn't helped by the fact that peak interest in each pack is right around its release.

[@savannaperry329]

This is my personal favorite jackbox party pack. The only game that I'm not that big a fan of is guesspionage (I'm one of the odd people who loves tee k.o)

[@2leftthumbs]

Each pack seems to have 2 really strong games (ie. Quiplash and Trivia Murder Party), 1 that people can take or leave (probably Fakin It here) and then likely 2 more games that people either love or hate (this pack it'd be Guesspionage and TeeKO). It works out, because that means there is a wider variety of games, and someone will almost always be a fan of the games that others dislike.

[@stopit6229]

It’s not odd to like tee k o. I legit didn’t know there were people that didn’t

[@noopthenoop]

7:44 interesting prediction...

[@brownsfan3290]

Quiplash 2- really great especially with a good group of people Gueespionage- eh Trivia Murder Party- a good game but the mini games are nowhere near as good as in the sequel Fakin It- really fun but sadly not stream friendly, I saw someone playing this which hit me into Jackbox Tee K O- my absolute favorite game, I even have fun with bad groups of people. Most funny moments and it’s great to see your contributions be used in funny/creative ways

[@justaregulardude3195]

Tee K.O is one of the favorites in our game night group

[@ibisbill2335]

This is the most well rounded pack. Not a single game is bad. I one minor problem though. Quiplash 2's last round is only good in my opinion if its comic lash but otherwise its great. My only other problem is i seem to be the only person on earth who loves guesspionage so none of my friends will play that one but thats a personal issue. Fakin it is fucking amazing tho, actually my favourite in the pack

[@2leftthumbs]

I hope Quiplash 3 has a better final round! I agree that the Acrolash has always been weak. Comic Lash is the best, and even then can be hit-or-miss. I like Guesspionage as well!! But I can appreciate that some of the answers are just baffling. And that can easily become a turn-off.

[@varia2354]

I remember playing TKO with some people on a discord server and the second round came and I got the slogan "Jesus was an Arab" and my immediate reaction was "Okay, I just need a drawing that DOESN'T COMPROMISE this and I'm golden." . Lo and behold there's a smiling face in the pile for me. That T-shirt had a close battle with my slogan "God nor Jesus cares".

[@PorkyMinch]

Its strange that my family loves Guesspianage.

[@TarlukLegion]

First of all, great review. I was quite surprised when I didn't see this video on the 2 Left Thumbs channel, since I subscribed to that channel specifically for the type of content that seems to be on this channel instead (in my case, I found your Jackbox reviews first but a lot of the other content in this channel seems right up my alley). I wonder if it would be better off to reverse the roles you have each channel set to now: maybe have this channel, Two Left Thumbs be for let's play content and 2 Left Thumbs be for this kind of high-quality content, and reupload the videos you already have here to the other channel. I was actually quite surprised by your outlook on Tee KO; I've hosted various sessions of Jackbox in my Discord group, with anywhere between as few as 4 people and as high as 11 people, and what most people in my group have agreed on is that they all really enjoy it. It's the game that's gotten the most laughs out of the entire bunch, and it's created the most memorable in-jokes for us. Part of it is that one of our most frequent members has a drawing tablet and has a more grotesquely enjoyable artstyle, I will confess, but it's not like the others just phoned it in, either. Maybe it's just that my group setting works really well with this type of game, where it otherwise might not work for another type of group? I dunno. And I noticed that, unlike QuipLash, people didn't have to be quite as good at being funny and clever to still have a good time. Which segways into QuipLash 2: my personal opinion is that it's still one of the all-time greats of Jackbox and I'm really excited for QuipLash 3, but it surprisingly meshed a little more poorly than I would've liked in my group, even though we still play it decently often. There were a few folks who just weren't quite as good at being funny with the quips in our group and they actually felt like outsiders to the point where they just stopped playing Jackbox with us, which kinda soured it a little bit for me as the host since I really liked having them along. I also really like Trivia Murder Party, to the same level I do for QuipLash (and Tee KO in the group I'm hosting) but the other members of my group don't seem to like it as much. They only really enjoy the final round and not as much the minigames and the trivia prevalent in the first round. Part of this might be that my group tends to be made up of those in their late teens / early twenties and so don't know as much trivia, but either way it seems like this is a game I'll have to just play with my IRL friends and family. Guesspionage seemed much like a filler game to me. If a game like Zeeple Dome is unquestionably a dud game and Joke Boat is a half-dud, Guesspionage seems like a quarter-dud to me. It can still be enjoyable, but I think the way they polled many of these questions is inherently flawed. (I highly doubt that there are more people with 1000 Twitter followers than there are people who have ridden in the sidecar of a motorcycle). I'd like to see a second try at this kind of game with a different polling structure, though it'd have to be one that couldn't be manipulated by bots and the like. I couldn't say anything about Fakin' It, since there is literally no way I can play this over Discord streams, and I haven't gotten the opportunity to play it with IRL family at all. There's nothing I can really say about this, other than maybe ask if Push the Button succeeds in the areas where Fakin' It failed as a Jackbox game (primarily the inability to play it online in any capacity).

[@2leftthumbs]

I did think about the possibilities of which channel would become more complicated content, and which would be lets plays. But with nearly 2000 lets play already present on "2 Left Thumbs" it felt like it would be a massive shift to try to bring that audience somewhere new. I feel like it's best to let that channel carry forward as-is rather than starting over. I had more faith that this new channel would work better with reviews and essays, because it's sliiiightly easier to get more complicated and more intricate video topics like that in front of people (hopefully!) So far it seems to be working out quite well!

[@2leftthumbs]

Tee KO is a weird one. It really does require the right group, which makes it hard to recommend. But that's great to hear that you guys have really made it work for you! It's true that the same could be said for Quiplash. And Mad Verse City, and most other games now that I think about it... Games that venture into asking a little more skill from the player really will be dramatically affected by the group. I guess that's the beauty of the Jackbox packs! They do seem to consciously make sure there are a variety of more and less demanding games. "If a game like Zeeple Dome is unquestionably a dud game and Joke Boat is a half-dud, Guesspionage seems like a quarter-dud to me" I'd say that matches my view of those 3 games quite well haha. Joke Boat and Guesspionage are redeemable, but both can easily overstay their welcome. Push The Button is *definitely* the evolution of Fakin It! I think Fakin It is still a lot of fun, but Push The Button really game-ified it in a much better way, and made it a much more exciting experience.

[@fiestaskull1540]

11:48, That's a big slip up right there mate because the Faker gets no prompt at all. I think you confused this game a little too much with Push the button from JB6

[@2leftthumbs]

Right, my mistake! In the first few rounds they just get generic cues like, "hold up fingers" or "make a face". But in the *final* round when answering the 3 text questions, is the only time they see altered prompts!

[@robstanley46]

In Fakin it the faker doesn’t get similar prompts as the non fakers on the non-text categories. They get told to try and blend in with everyone(example, try to blend in by raising your hand, or not)

[@spookysomeone]

8:18 me, taking out my ipad and apple pencil: >:)

[@jokinghazard2312]

What people don’t know is that quipLash is bracketeering before bracketeering

[@2leftthumbs]

And 1 million times better. Bracketeering is so boring, as it forces you to view the same answers over and over. At best they were funny the first time. At worst it was never funny, and just gets dragged to death

[@jokinghazard2312]

Two Left Thumbs truer words hav never been spoken

[@nickwebber9823]

hi matey that was such a good video ive just watched all of that i througly enjoyed it please carry on you just gained a sub mate x

[@rayesafan9628]

I passionately love Tee K.O.

[@daandanx]

I really think Jackbox party pack 3 is the best one. Every game is good. Tee-KO is brilliant fun, Fakin' It is amazingly stressful, Guessphionage is just cozy, Trivia Murder Party wonderful, and Quiplash... come on, it's Quiplash! What more could you ask for?

[@Pooky1991]

From my understanding of quiplash it suffered one major flaw when it comes to having audience votes and that pandering. The audience won't vote for the funnier or unique prompt, something I've seen in a few videos by KZbin that have large audiences

[@reesewebster8661]

guesspionage has the way higher option or way lower if using two people

[@theallknowingsause8940]

Ironically, my friend group hasn't even tried Fakin' it, but our favorite game is Tee ko

[@stopit6229]

I have a group of friends that I always play jackbox with, and tee k.o has always been our favorite game in our favorite pack. I didn’t even realize there was anything wrong with tee k.o until I tried it with my family, where it was super long and boring 😅. definitely relies on the group you’re playing with the most out of any of the games in this pack

[@Dylan-Frost]

If it's with your family, it's almost guaranteed to be boring

[@PvzPlush]

I have no friends so I had to watch this to see how it works

[@trevorpgamer1936]

Join twitch streams

[@2leftthumbs]

Twitch streams really are the way to go. I think there may also be discord groups too? Discord let's you screen-share, so one person can host the game and play together that way without bothering with a twitch account/channel

[@Bruh-cg7pk]

You could also play byself by going into private mode on safari

[@songbird6991]

When I play Tee KO with my friends it is the funniest thing ever, in our most recent game we had some many laughs together and so many weird shirts

[@PTFWWDB]

how does this work does everyone have a joycon or it texts sms to their phone? so confused

[@fionna_cool_girl]

I'm persuading my cousin to buy this party pack (just because of Trivia murder party and Fakin' it) and party pack 6 for the trivia murder party sequel. Can't wait to play them!

[@jbproductions9]

With Guesspionage, if you have an audience of 5 or more (or more than 5, I don’t remember), the percentages come from the audience!

[@OmegaRejectz]

13:00 The Hip, woohoo!

[@2KFproductions]

Would Fakin It work via webcams and a stream?

[@2leftthumbs]

I suppose it could, yes. But everyone would need to be on webcam, not just the host

[@2KFproductions]

@@2leftthumbs update, it doesn't work very well even with webcams

[@jokinghazard2312]

Tee KO is hated, but with me, my bro, and my cousins it’s a family favorite, we always play it before any other game in this pack and laugh our fucking asses off

[@doriwormx]

i love this party pack so much!!!! my least favorite game is guesspionage, like the video said, it's a nice game but not many people would be invested for too long- and fakin' it is my personal fave!!! (i draw a lot of fan art of this game djdjsj) i play it with my irl friends and family and i made a way to play fakin' it with online friends (whether they show face cam or not) and honestly it's so hilarious and embarassing, and can definetly start some uproar with whoever you play, plus the character designs are so wonderful and cute, i hope fakin' it gets a sequel in a future pack with perhaps a streamer friendly mode!!!

[@thelast1gaming]

Do I need PSN to play this game?

[@Dylan-Frost]

My short thoughts on the games: Tee KO: doesn't look like much at first glance, but it's a lot better than you think. I actually despised the game when I first played it, but think it's cool now- 78% Faking it: fun, but it's slightly flawed because it's only functional if you're playing in person- 75% TMP: the best way to make a trivia game interesting- 83% Guesspionage: games about statistics are lame- 37% Quiplash: simple yet amazing- 96%

[@cloamker2533]

probably one of, if not the best party pack in my opinions

[@threestoogesfan2000]

TMP and TMP 2 is my favorite. bcause when people livestream TMP and TMP 2 on the chat room sometimes I put video game death music in the chat when someone dies or at the end of trivia Murder Party I sometimes put sonic spinball game over music playing or Garfield caught in the act game over music playing It's fun

[@2leftthumbs]

Garfield Caught In The Act! What a gem!! My older brother had that on his GameGear hahah

[@Bruh-cg7pk]

Its possible to get a get a guesspionage question correct i did 2 times

[@GrogIsDying]

Quiplash is my favorite and we had one I made up and it kept comeing up from everyone

[@jaydenadams5791]

There's a mistake: in faking it, the faker doesn't see the prompt until after they answer. So they have to fake it by doing what everyone else is doing.

[@ryzatheduck5195]

i bought a tee k.o shirt

[@Autokendo17]

Attack of the murdery doll

[@KILAH4716]

TEE K.O. is easily a big hit-or-miss game. If it misses, it's because you don't have many great and inspiring artists in your group that can come up with slogans, so it ends up not being very entertaining. On the other hand, it's a million times better WITH skilled and funny artists, especially if streamed on Twitch with a massive audience. I like participating as the audience, but I don't like drawing or creating slogans because I'm not that creative.

[@awesomeninja9178]

Quiplash: is always fun because it give that mad libs vibe and its funny with what you put in the blank! tmp: good to play with friends than with 2 or solo but it has promiss but the looser wheel is rigged and is made to fuck you up! gussesponige: way fucking better than brakentering! and its fun to see if you got it right or wrong with some real life things. Tee KO: it is hard for a first timer to come up with phrases and desgines but the fun fact is you can order the shirt that won off the website and wear it! Fakin it: its funny when you are exposed or get the wrong person and its a way to teach you to lie and get people to vite for someone else!

[@AlphiePrime]

I honestly prefer the original murder party compared to the sequel because it has a creepier vibe and the killing floor mini games are better

[@2leftthumbs]

I appreciate the variety of minigames across the 2 installments. I kind of wish the 2nd still included all the originals, and had an option in the settings to individually deactivate minigames your group dislikes

[@asa_andromeda]

@@2leftthumbs If there’s a third one, let’s hope that happens

[@defnotisaiah3210]

this is the only party pack i have rn, it’s great but the games really are only fun with a large group, i feel like this party pack is the best for jackbox beginners

[@MorbyLol]

I have to say, guesspionage (if that's how it's spelled) is the weakest in the pack

[@shadowmetroid18]

Fakin it is one of the potentially most fun games in jackbox and is what sold me on the whole series. BUT it's pretty hit or miss. If the group doesn't know each other too well it can be impossible to catch the faker. But it everyone knows each other too well, it's borderline impossible to get away as faker.

[@Demonslayer-lover]

I wish I could play that game 😢

[@scottwilber2670]

Now here’s my review Quiplash 2: really fun! 9/10 Guesspionage: I really wish there was a guesspionage 2! 8/10 TMP: really good! Even if l like the 2nd version. 10/10 Tee k.o.: alright! My opinion is mixed on this One. 6/10 Fakin it!: this is just the more weaker one in this pack. 3/10 So the party pack gets a 9.5/10

[@2leftthumbs]

Fakin It can be fun, but sometimes the reveal is a little too obvious. They really refined this in 6's Push The Button. There is a lot more strategy and obfuscation there that keeps things fresh!
