![]() This game is short and sweet, with little downtime since everyone plays at the same time. Votes take place between rounds with the highest-voted words receiving the most points. Everyone writes a definition for the prompt, a synonym to the word, and then must use the synonym in a sentence. Dictionarium is one of the simpler games in this year’s Pack, tasking the players with creating new words and definitions to generate a new entry in the dictionary. ![]() I’m not sure it’s fair to rate this one as highly as I’d like to since I write words for a living, but my group assured me this game was entertaining even though they all come from different backgrounds. There’s tons of different ways to die, and the finale is as nerve-wracking as ever. During another match, the murderous host made the group play a quick round of Quiplash in the middle of a killing room. ![]() When I made it outside the hotel, I had a final challenge to disarm the bomb before I was allowed to leave the premises. During one game my character had a time bomb placed around its neck which limited how long I had to answer trivia questions. Many new minigames and deathtraps have been added since 2016, and the variety to the gameplay on display is impressive. It’s pretty clear this game is where the developers budgeted most of their time, as it’s easily the most polished in this year’s Pack. This time, players take on the role of a guest at a “murder hotel” inspired by The Shining. ![]() This year’s featured game is a sequel to one of my favorites from The Jackbox Party Pack 3. Basically You Don’t Know Jack with darker theming and more varied gameplay, this game show makes contestants fight for their lives by answering trivia questions and avoiding deadly traps set by the host. ![]()
