The Jackbox Party Pack Collection -masquerade R... -

The "Masquerade" theme isn't just cosmetic—it permeates the mechanics of nearly every game in this five-title collection. Gone are the days of purely drawing doodles or shouting trivia answers. Here, you must constantly ask yourself: Who is really on my team?

A darker, slower take on the Trivia Murder Party format. Instead of a killer hotel, you are at a gothic masquerade ball.

The last player with their full mask intact wins. It is clever and atmospheric, but the trivia can feel secondary to the gimmick. The Jackbox Party Pack Collection -Masquerade R...

A direct sequel to the Fakin’ It mini-game from Pack 3. Using your phone’s camera (optional but recommended), the game asks players to perform physical gestures (thumbs up, clap, look left).

However, with a group that plays three rounds back-to-back, it becomes incredibly addictive. The last player with their full mask intact wins
