Jackbox Games has revealed that The Jackbox Party Pack 7 is gearing up for release on Nintendo Switch and other platforms very soon indeed. You'll be able to get your hands on it from 15th October.
This latest pack includes five new party games for you and your friends to enjoy, so even if you've played Jackbox Party Pack 1 through 6, you'll still find plenty more to do here. We've got a list of those five new games for you right here:
- Quiplash 3, a head-to-head battle of wits as you write hilarious responses to quirky prompts while everyone else votes for their favorite! (3-8 players)
- The Devils and the Details, the collaborative chaos game where you’re a family of devils working together to survive in suburbia. Can you handle the daily torture of human life? (3-8 players)
- Champ’d Up, the drawing fighting game where you get to create absurd characters that battle each other over unusual titles. Can you take down the heavy favorite? (3-8 players)
- Talking Points, the make-it-up-as-you-go public-speaking game. Give a speech responding to picture slides you’ve never seen before, or be the Assistant and approve pictures as fast as you can. Just keep talking whether it makes sense or not! (3-8 players)
- Blather ‘Round, the pop culture guessing game. Describe your secret prompt with a very limited vocabulary and hope that someone can figure it out in time. (2-6 players)
As you may know, games in the Jackbox Party Pack series support phones, tablets, and even computers as controllers, so you don't need to own a small warehouse worth of Joy-Con to get everyone involved. We usually find that the games included can be a little hit or miss, with some not up to scratch and some absolutely perfect for a party atmosphere.
This might well be one to keep an eye on, then – even if we can't have any friends over for local play at the moment.

I love the Jackbox games every year. This is going to be a purchase on day one.
this is a real party package
Quiplash 3 alone makes this worth getting
I have played Jackbox 3 and 4 on Game Pass, and the games are so good, I recommend them for parties.
Awesome, a game that reminds us just how lonely we are in 2020 because gatherings of friends and family outside your immediate social bubble isn't allowed (and if you are not following your public health advice and holding these mass gatherings in your home....you're ruining it for EVERYONE ELSE).

But no one will be able to visit you in hospital so no whinging about that.
I really wish they would bring back You don't know Jack with the local versions.
@DarthFoxMcCloud I managed to have some excellent games of quiplash during lockdown with many friends on Zoom. It wasn’t quite the same but it was riotous fun regardless!
This looks like another great game to play with the siblings and family! I'm stoked for this pack!
@Dirty0814 Most of the Jackbox games are well suited to remote play over Twitch, Zoom, and so on. We've had lots of virtual parties with these games, no physical proximity needed. Unlike other online games, the remote participants don't need any special equipment, just a web browser.
Sounds good, but the prices on these continue to be unreasonable outside of Humble Bundles.
That's great and all, but I won't have company over any time soon so it makes more sense to buy on the platforms with built-in streaming or screen sharing support. I'll probably snag it on PC if one of my friends doesn't.
I wish this had online multiplayer...
@DarthFoxMcCloud If it makes you feel any better, I bought a capture card just so that we could keep playing Jackbox with friends and extended family without them being present
