All Jackbox Games are 30-50% off

Can anyone confirm that these codes will work with Steam in Canada? I tried to buy codes off Jackbox directly last month and they had to refund as the codes didn't work on Steam in Canada.

Can confirm. I bought Drawful 2 and Fibbage XL from fantastical.com yesterday. I redeemed them through Steam and played them last night. As OP wrote, if you are interested in multiple products, buy them individually as you'll get the 5% discount after each individual purchase to use on the next purchase.

purchased Jackbox 6 just now and it worked.

Thanks OP.

Thanks for confirming. Going to pick one up now.

Thanks, OP. Picked up a few of these. Can also confirm these codes are working on Steam in Canada.

Any one know if you can remote play multiplayer for the You don't know Jack classic pack" like you can with the other Jackbox games? Or does this pack/game pre-date this feature?

I love Jackbox games! Great post. Btw: Jackbox 3 is included with XBox Gamepass these days in case anyone is interested. I think it was add recently.

I have Party Pack 2 and Drawful2.

Anyone recommend any of the other games? I heard a lot of them are kinda meh.

How many players you playing with?

Out of curiosity, cause I've only played these in person on a TV, can you play these right now with friends in different locations with only 1 copy?

ie: I buy the party pack and can send invite links to others to play?

Party Pack 3 is generally viewed as the best - no duds in that one, and all but one are well-suited to online play. (The exception, Fakin' It, should be OK if you have video chat with the other players.)

Yeah, I use Twitch to stream the game. Friends join the twitch and input their answers on their phones. There's a bit of delay with twitch so the games that require quick response times don't work well, but we are able to play all the popular games. It's a lot of fun in quarantine.

Yes. That's the best thing with jackbox games. One owns it and upto 8 is most cases can play without owning it. You can use any screen sharing application like webex, zoom, twitch... I mentioned these in the order i prefer them. Webex works out best for me as there is not time limit and no need to share a new meeting invite every time. Just one invite will work.
If you are starter i will advise to buy jackbox party pack 3 and later can buy drawful and fibbage.. You will have cover best of jackbox games with minimal cost.. If you want to spend more buy all bundles

I've found Zoom, Google Meet, or Discord the best ways to play remotely. The lag is pretty minimal and you can share the game's audio as well. Best to minimize lag as some games have count down timers.

Party Pack 3 is great but has been cheaper. Party Pack 5 is terrible and a total rip off at this price

I've hosted this a few times now virtually, a couple through Google Hangouts (not Meet) and Zoom, the latter works decently. The latter also is good decent-ish if you wanna share the game audio and still be able to speak to other players in your meeting. For me, I installed something called "VB Cable", which then allowed me to choose that as my mic output option to be clearer (instead of just the laptop's mic listed as output). I also used the volume mixer on the computer where I maxed out meeting and general volume but lowered the volume of the game itself when running it so that others could hear me (general volume and meeting was at full, game as at around 20 or so).

From what I've read, using discord works well too.

I have 3 and 5, but have only played a few of 5's games once (only recently got it), 3 definitely seems like the one to get.

IIRC some games have settings for an extended timer if that helps.
