“Some people don’t like presentation games,” Bilder conceded.
You improvise a speech on a random topic and someone else in the party selects your slide photos, which could range from bizarre to outright ridiculous, like a woman laying on a couch with a pizza over her face. One of the more experimental ones, Talking Points, sounds like the concept behind the drunk PowerPoint presentation party that went viral two years ago. Jackbox releases a new party pack every year, each with proven hit games like Quiplash, plus a few experimental ones. The pack, which retails for $29.99, is a collection of five games. Jackbox just released the Party Pack 7, which CNN Business was able to try out early. Only one player needs to own the game for a party to play.
It also helps that Jackbox Party Packs are on nearly every platform, including mobile, PC, console, Fire TV, Apple TV, Mac and Linux. Like other games such as Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Among Us and Fall Guys, Jackbox doesn’t require speedy reaction times or controlled muscle memory to power through. One reason for the game’s popularity is its ease of use for players who might not consider themselves gamers. He declined to discuss the company’s revenue or profit. The company received venture capital investment from Jackson Square Ventures in 2011 and has been self-funded ever since, said Bilder. Families have taken to chronicling their Jackbox game nights on their Instagram stories. Jackbox is close to doubling its player base this year to 200 million, compared with 100 million in 2019, Bilder told CNN Business. “Instead of grabbing Monopoly or Coup or the Game of Life, you grab Quiplash.” “We compare ourselves to the modern-day digital Parker Brothers or Milton Bradley,” he said. In an age where it can be hard to play board games with anyone outside your own home, many have turned to Jackbox Games.
