Every Game in Jackbox Party Pack 10 Explained

Another year means another Jackbox Party Pack, but Jackbox Party Pack 10 is special. It's in the name; this is the tenth pack to release, celebrating an anniversary of sorts for the franchise. The result is an awesome selection of games, with Tee K.O. Getting a sequel that features many beloved mascots from games past and Dodo Re Mi representing the first music game to ever hit the pack.

Of course, fans are able to dive in, and one of the hardest choices is going to be what to play first and with whom. Each game offers something a little different, and that sheer variety will ensure anyone picking up Jackbox Party Pack 10 has a lot to enjoy.

Tee K.O. 2

Tee K.O. 2 is a drawing game and a sequel to the original title way back in Jackbox Party Pack 3. In it, players must make designs with the goal being to make the funniest. After everyone has submitted their designs, as well as their slogans, players must vote gauntlet style to see which wins. The combination of slogan and design is great for humor. In improving on the original, Tee K.O. 2 includes more garments than the original like hoodies, more slogan fonts, an improved drawing interface, avatars from the past Party Packs, and a more involved final round. It's everything fans loved about the original, dialed up. On top of that, if there's a design fans want, they can order it and get it in real life too.

FixyText

FixyText is a group word game where players collectively respond to prompts and other text messages together. There's no delete button, so every typo, shenanigan, and so forth remains. Previously, Jackbox Games has said that FixyText embodies the chaotic nature of a friend group chat, with the funniest changes winning. In a bit of synergy, it's not unusual for a slogan from Tee K.O.2. To translate to FixyText (and vice versa, with all games) for some added fun.

Timejinx

Trivia games are nothing new, in the Jackbox Party Pack or beyond, but Timejinx puts a fun spin on it. Players represent time travelers who must discern when certain historical events occurred. All the trivia questions deal with years of certain events, and scoring is based on how close players get. It's been compared to golf scores. If the question is about something happening in the year 1930, with one player guessing the year 1931 and the other guessing the year 1942, the first player gets 1 point and the second player gets 12 points. The player with the lowest score wins, and there are a few futuristic curveballs thrown in as well.

Hypnotorious

Hypnotorious is a social deduction game in the vein of Among Us, but there's a twist. The imposter, or outlier in Hypnotorious, does not know that it's their role. In this game, players are given a specific role and have to figure out where they fit in among a handful of groups. One person doesn't belong and must figure that out as well, with the results being hilarious at times. One example is someone could be given Gandalf, which could be paired with other characters with beards, characters straight up from The Lord of the Rings, or characters out of a book. If the Outlier is Tom Cruise, but they think the others in the group represent characters from books (Gandalf, Harry Potter, Alice), then they must figure that out as well.

Dodo Re Mi

Presentation-wise, Dodo Re Mi sees players become birds who are trying to avoid being eaten by a carnivorous plant. To do so, they must sing for survival, with players' phones and controllers becoming the instrument. There's also a song list players can unlock similar to Guitar Hero and Rock Band. They can play a wide variety of real and absurd instruments, including but not limited to, constant screaming, guitar, drums, a kazoo, the Lip Flipper, Taz the Cat, and more. The music is then played back for players to see who did well and who didn't, with the game also avoiding the typical round structure found in Jackbox Party Packs. Instead, players can play a round or two if they wish and move on.
