This is the funniest game in the set, but the last round is usually a downer as the material that Jackbox gives you doesn’t give the player much to work with. Your job is to twist that response and make it sound ridiculous. Each player gives a response to a question that Jackbox provides, and then that response is given to another person. Survive the Internet has you making titles or comments to things you find on the internet, such as YouTube videos, social media posts, crowdfunding websites, and pictures. It is the perfect game for trolls and insulting your friends, which I take great pleasure in every time I play as I maniacally laugh when I post my answer. My personal favorite from this Jackbox Party Pack is Survive the Internet. With my stream, the people playing along liked this game the most. Monster Seeking Monster became more fun to play the more times I played it. You have to find a way to keep the robot happy but also keep up with the players. If you ignore the robot and he is placed in the last place with the least amount of hearts, everyone loses and the world is destroyed. What if you don’t have that many people to join though? Well, this game adds an interesting mechanic with the robot. You’re actually messaging strangers, but you’re laughing at the responses with your friends as it shows the message log. I found this to be the most fun while playing with both friends and those who are watching your stream. It can be funny to have people try to flirt with you, but if you show your names, it gets incredibly awkward. I found that this game is far better when you hide your names from each other. It took time for me to wrap my head around the mechanics. Is it a good idea to date the person from how they are acting or messaging you? In a party setting, this game is overly complex, especially if alcohol is involved.
The person with the most hearts by the end of the game is the winner and all these mechanics added switch up the formula drastically. In this game, you are trying to pick up dates after messaging each other, but each player has their own mechanic from the hidden monster side of you. The most complex game in the pack is Monster Seeking Monster. (The Jackbox Party Pack 4, Jackbox Games) Brackeetering is a hit or miss, but when the prompts are funny, it’s a riot. You really can’t get many laughs out of “Name a candy bar” and then ask, “What’s the best to ground up and sniff?” Answers can be very similar as well and there isn’t a system to reduce incidents like this. The prompts that Jackbox has written can be incredibly dull. However, the game doesn’t always end up in the most entertaining way. And then it changed to: “What’s the best role for Tom Hanks to play?” Knack was the winner and Lara Croft was the runner up. For example, the prompt, “Name a video game character” came up. However, with further rounds, the prompt can change in the second heat with a Blind Bracket, and then in the last section, the Triple Blind Bracket, the prompt is changed every heat. In Brackeetering, players answer a prompt like “What’s the best candy bar?” Voters then pick their favorite among the answers in a sports-like tournament bracket and predict which answers win to get the most points. This game can be either an incredibly funny romp or a dreadfully dull 20 or so minutes.
