That’s a good update. Check out the official details.
After many requests for a moderation feature from Jackbox fans, especially content creators and livestreamers, Party Pack 9 will now allow players to kick players from the lobby or within the game. This will be especially useful in giving internet trolls the boot during live streams or bumping a friend who has to leave a party early.
In addition, two more exciting features coming to Party Pack 9 include:
-
QR Code Sign-In: You can now hold your mobile device’s camera up to the QR code on the screen to automatically pull up Jackbox.tv and enter the room code for you.
-
Easy Host Reconnects: If the game host loses their connection to the server mid-game, the game will essentially “pause” for 5 minutes and give the host time to reestablish a connection so that game data and players won’t be lost.

Fibbage 4
Fibbage 4 is the latest installment from the long-running Jackbox Party Pack series. In this irreverent bluffing game, players get a true fact with a keyword or phrase blanked out and must enter lies that fit the blank to fool the other players. You get points for spotting the actual truth and for tricking people with your lie. Fibbage 4 has a truckload of exciting new features, including Fibbage Enough About You mode, Cookie’s VHS Vault, Fibbage Fan Questions and more!
Junktopia
Featuring a deranged wizard who turns unlucky players into (hopefully) canny frogs, Junktopia follows players’ quest to earn back their human form by finding old objects and giving them an amusing backstory to increase their value. The player who nets the highest profit margin wins the right to get transformed back into their human form and earns their place in the wizard’s good graces. Junktopia provokes creativity and lets players flex their storytelling skills, with the help of guiding prompts.
Nonsensory
Nonsensory combines writing, drawing and guessing for a silly, laid-back game of perception and intuition. Nonsensory gives fans their fix of fun and fantasy with creative prompts that test their levels of NSP (Nonsensory Perception). Players must accurately intuit the secret nonsense in the minds of their friends – guess correctly, and they’ll score big-time!
Roomerang
Roomerang is a game of responding to prompts, role-playing, and whatever level of competition you bring to the table. Players in a reality TV show world are encouraged to answer prompts through their game personas, to gain status… and avoid elimination.
Quixort
In this game, players are challenged to sort a series of objects according to a prompt as they fall on blocks guided by adorable little robots. In this trivia sorting factory, you and your group can join forces and talk through (probably yell) where each block needs to go as it falls. Additionally, players can also enable Quixort Forever, a separate game mode that lets a single player or team see how long they can place blocks before topping out.
