Summer is almost over, and Jackbox Games is here to move the party inside. In a new press release, Jackbox Games announced The Jackbox Party Pack 11 will launch on October 23, 2025. Jackbox Games released the official trailer on Thursday, showing off a bit of what players can anticipate ahead of its October release.
The interactive series from Jackbox Games, the folks behind YOU DON’T KNOW JACK, has become a party staple in recent years. As a longtime fan of the franchise, I can say its relative affordability and convenient gameplay concept are partly to thank. Current-gen releases allow participants to play using their personal devices. Smartphones and tablets act as quasi-controllers, allowing anyone with a phone and a WiFi connection to hop in. Provided one player can broadcast the base game using their home console, smart TV, or smartphone app, other gamers need only their device. Players connect via their gadgets by visiting Jackbox.tv and entering the unique game code shown on the central display.
Like the 10 masterpieces before it, The Jackbox Party Pack 11 contains a handful of interactive, side-splitting minigames. Packs are usually a medley of never-before-seen games and fan faves, but The Jackbox Party Pack 11 contains only new games. In its press release, Jackbox teases each with a short-but-sweet description:
- Work with your party to fight fantasy monsters in a cooperative trivia battle called Legends of Trivia.
- Investigate a crime and defend your innocence in a social deduction game called Suspectives, where every player is on trial.
- Ruin wholesome scenarios and compete head‑to‑head in Doominate, a hilarious joke‑writing game.
- Record custom sound effects and watch them come to life in a sound‑based party game called Hear Say.
- Create cookie designs based on bizarre prompts in a cozy drawing game called Cookie Haus that might leave you hungry.
“This is the first Party Pack in years with no sequels, and that creative freedom really shines through,” said Rich Gallup, the game’s Production Director and Pack Lead. “Each game began as a bold idea and grew through playtesting, collaboration, and a lot of laughter. Whether you’re recording the perfect goat bleat, interrogating your friends, slaying monsters with your wits, writing ruinous jokes, or decorating cookies for a stressed-out bakery boss, there’s something here for every kind of player.”
Not a console family? No sweat — in addition to Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, the latest entry is coming to Steam, Epic Games Store, Apple TV and iPad, the Mac App Store, Amazon Fire TV, and the series’ exclusive channel subscription on Amazon Luna.
