What is The Jackbox Party Pack 5 like?

One copy on the screen and everyone uses their phone for YOU DON'T KNOW JACK, Mad Verse City and more.

The host runs the pack on PC or console and the others join at jackbox.tv on their phones with the room code on screen. YOU DON'T KNOW JACK: Full Stream is a pop culture quiz for up to 8. In Mad Verse City you write lyrics that your robot raps against another player, and in Patently Stupid you draw an invention for a silly problem and pitch it. Split the Room asks you to finish a hypothetical so it divides the group, and Zeeple Dome has up to 6 flinging themselves at aliens. Remote players watch through a Discord or Zoom screen share.
