Scenarios are presented, with you filling in one of the 2 answers the aim being to come up with as tough a choice as possible in order to – all together now – split the room. Split the Room on the other hand is an attempt to divide answers. With a group of mates and some inhibition looseness, you’d have to try not to find the funny here. Things pick up when points are doubled, or players lagging behind use perks they’ve been granted to help them close the gap.
The aim of the game is to provide witty, funny or outright offensive answers in the aim of eliciting votes from the other players, gaining points and coming out on top. Over the top one-liners from the host, smartly produced segment title cards and transitions combine to really get you into the spirit. Jackbox has always had a great interpretation of the gameshow aesthetic and this iteration feels even more on point. The always brilliant You Don’t Know Jack provides a multitude of questions and scenarios, often absurdly hilarious, letting you set your comedy muscle free.
Head to, enter the room code and your name and off you go. As with previous entries, all you’ll need to get started is the game and access to a browser (most will naturally use their phones, I played using a laptop which worked just as well). Of the 5 games on offer here, 4 will hit the spot providing you have at least a passing interest in having a laugh. Jackbox Party Pack 5 steps in here and does a mostly brilliant job of providing a party’s worth of entertainment. A few rounds of Halo? Perhaps a game or two of Rocket League? Even those with a low skill ceiling can intimidate people into not wanting to try, leading them to drift off pretty quickly.
There’s scant few video games you can bust out to a non-gaming crowd and get a positive response.
