Nintendo has announced that Nintendo Switch Online users in Europe will be able to try out the hilarious Jackbox Party Pack 3 at no extra cost between September 28th and October 4th.
You'll be able to play the entirety of the game during this time period, but we'd highly recommend getting some friends or family members round to play it, as it's infinitely more fun with more people.
Here's a reminder of the features in Jackbox Party Pack 3:
- The threequel to the party game phenomenon features five new sense-shattering games!
- The say-anything sequel – Quiplash 2 (3-8 players). Play all new questions or make your own!
- The deadly quiz show – Trivia Murder Party (1-8 players). Match wits with a trivia-obsessed killer.
- The surprising survey game – Guesspionage (2-8 players). Guess the results to silly survey questions.
- The t-shirt slugfest – Tee K.O. (3-8 players). Battle your custom t-shirts to the death!
- The sneaky trickster game – Fakin’ It (3-6 players). One of your friends has something to hide.
- Play using your phones, tablets, or computers. No extra controllers needed!
- All games support up to 10,000 audience members playing along!
- Plus tons of new features just for streamers! It’s a digital box full of actual fun!
In our review of the game, we said that "it's a great selection of party games, and is worthy of a place in a Switch library accessed by groups of friends", awarding it a score of 7/10.

My personal opinion, I've never heard anyone outside of the internet ask to play Jackbox, much less on the switch.
Darn it! This is the one I already own…
From people out of UK/USA, proper version is Quiplash interlashional (withe several languages included)
It's not the one from this pack.
Not only are the Game Trials too brief being only a week, they are often weak offerings Nintendo smh. Compared to their direct competitors' monthly titles in quantity & quality, do better please Nintie.
... Wun can only hope.
Nice! Always wanted to play a Jackbox game myself but the pricetag kind of put me off most of the time. Now that that's a non-factor, I'll definitely try to pick this up. Although considering it's coming out both during the Splatfest AND while my sisters are off at college, the timing couldn't have been any worse. Ah well.
I tried to play Jackbox on XBONE, and could not figure out how to start a local game, so never played it again. Shrug.
Not in america? Darn
Jackbox got me through lockdown as we could play remotely. If you had it on PC you could play remotely just by streaming/sharing your screen over zoom/Facebook/YouTube/twitch... My switch version then could be streamed similarly using a capture card
Although it would be a good to have it with you portable, most of the time no one wants to play, so the PC versions are better because you can share screen (eg through discord) and play online from your home when you might find some of your friends bored at home. I wish there was a official share screen option on the game, I would get the Switch versions instead.

In our household we play it all the time, also the game is no different on the Switch than any other system
Hopefully, this will get a North American trial, as I would like to try it out.
@JimiVall "Darn it! This is the one I already own…"
Of the googling I did, it seems #3 is the most popular one.
So rest easy!
3 is by far the best one to start with
