Jackbox Party Pack 7 is coming this October with five new party games to play with your pals
Check out the new trailer for the latest Party Pack featuring a pug wearing a tie
Jackbox Games is releasing five new party games with the latest Jackbox Party Pack 7, which is set to launch on October 15.
A new trailer just dropped for the seventh pack in the Jackbox Party lineup, introducing more fun-filled friendship-testing games you can play with your pals. Quiplash returns in a new "say-anything threequel" installment, Quiplash 3. As you may already know if you've tucked into previous Jackbox Party packs or played the standalone game, Quiplash lets you attempt to prove you're the wittiest of them all by trying to come up with the best responses to some rather weird and out there prompts, and everyone votes for their favourite.
Next up we get a look at The Devils and the Details, which is described as a "collaborative chaos game" for three to eight players. You're a family of devils working together to survive in suburbia, what could go wrong? It sounds like just the kind of quirky game you'd expect to find in a Jackbox Party Pack. From washing dishes to cleaning a toilet, The Devils and the Details will test your ability to "handle the daily torture of human life"... sounds like quite a party game, doesn't it?
We also get some more drawing antics in the new Champ'd Up game, where you can sketch out absurd characters that battle over unusual titles. Then there's Talking Points, an "on-the-spot public speaking game" where players have to give a speech in response to whatever picture slides appear. From the sounds of it, it's going to test your improvisational skills in the best way possible.
And finally, Blather Round is a guessing game where you describe your secret prompt with very limited vocabulary in the hopes that another player will be able to guess what pop culture thing you're talking about.
Jackbox Games released a handy guide a while ago with a rundown of how to play with friends and family remotely. The new pack is set to release on all major digital platforms including PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox One.
Looking for more fun-filled times with your pals? Here's our pick of the best party games.

I started out writing for the games section of a student-run website as an undergrad, and continued to write about games in my free time during retail and temp jobs for a number of years. Eventually, I earned an MA in magazine journalism at Cardiff University, and soon after got my first official role in the industry as a content editor for Stuff magazine. After writing about all things tech and games-related, I then did a brief stint as a freelancer before I landed my role as a staff writer here at 12DOVE. Now I get to write features, previews, and reviews, and when I'm not doing that, you can usually find me lost in any one of the Dragon Age or Mass Effect games, tucking into another delightful indie, or drinking far too much tea for my own good.
