Finally, the title is revealed, and the two champions are pitted against each other for the rest of the group to vote on for a winner.

You are then shown another player’s character and asked to draw what you think would be a suitable competitor.

There aren’t any dice to roll or buttons to memorize. You simply visit their website on your preferred mobile browser and, after entering a quick room code, you answer prompts on your smart-device to interact with the game. But for every Fall Guys or Among Us to captivate players overnight, Jackbox and their ever-growing library of party titles continues to defend the throne - and their latest installment to come to Nintendo Switch, The Jackbox Party Pack 7, is no exception.įor those unfamiliar, Jackbox Games forgo traditional video games controllers in favor of smartphones.
