Netflix’s party-focused lineup of TV games just got three excellent new additions: Jackbox’s Drawful 2, Fibbage 4, and Quiplash 3, available as the Jackbox Party Essentials pack on the platform. Subscribers can access Jackbox Party Essentials at no additional cost and use their phones as controllers to play.
The Jackbox bundle seems like a natural fit for the platform; Netflix’s other TV games include multiplayer party versions of Boggle and Pictionary, and people who have already played games in Jackbox’s other Party Packs will be familiar with using their phone as a controller. If you get some friends together to check out Jackbox Party Essentials, I recommend starting with Quiplash 3, which tasks players with making up answers to ridiculous prompts and voting on the best ones. The Quiplash series has become a long-running staple in my family for holidays and big get-togethers because of how accessible and silly it is.
