Fail the mini game and you are dead, not able to collect any points for future questions.
Win the trivia, spin-the-wheel or press your luck style mini-game, and you escape the Killing Floor by the skin of your teeth and live to answer more questions for points. Answer the questions right and you get some points, but when you answer the host’s trivia questions wrong, you are sent to the killing floor where you compete against your opponents in mini-games of various kinds. Trivia Murder Party 2 is exactly like it sounds, you and up to 7 friends are on a gameshow being hosted by the owner of a Murder Hotel. There are 5 new games in The Jackbox Party Pack 6 let’s get into them. You’re going to need her, chances are she’s pretty dumb and she’ll be an easy target to steal points from.
Everyone has a smartphone and everyone knows how to use them, so it’s easy to get that Debbie-Downer friend to join in when all she ever wants to do is just sit and watch. She looked like I handed her a bomb to defuse. I remember the look on my mother-in-laws face when I handed her a controller to play Scene-It back on the Xbox 360. First, you might not have 8 $60 controllers laying around your house, and second, controllers can be a little intimidating for people not used to them. I’ve played trivia games before on console, and setting everyone up with controllers can be tough. These audience members can be in the same room, or playing along by watching you stream on Mixer or Twitch. Most games in this pack can be played with up to 8 people, but there is another option for audience members that can join at any time for some fun.
At the start of each game you are given a code to punch into and this connects you to the session that is on your Xbox. Gone are the days of having to give every one of your friends a controller to play, because with the Jackbox games you can use smartphones, tablets and computers as the controllers.
If you aren’t familiar with the Jackbox Party packs of the past, they are collections of 5 party games that you can play with your friends that involve trivia, drawing or using that creative part of your brain to create raps, jokes or stories to make your friends laugh.
