The Jackbox Party Pack 12 Games Cover Cards, Debates, Trivia, and Photo Chaos
Jackbox Games has revealed all five games included in The Jackbox Party Pack 12, giving players a clearer look at what this year’s party collection will bring to game nights.
The new pack includes We Forgot a Card, MegaPals, Debate and Switch, Idol Factions, and Hyperface. As usual, each game is built around group play, quick prompts, and the kind of social chaos that works whether everyone is in the same room or joining remotely.
We Forgot a Card Turns Greeting Cards Into a Joke-Writing Game
We Forgot a Card is a design and joke-writing game built around strange greeting cards for even stranger occasions. Players stumble into a shop with limited options, then have to get creative by crafting ridiculous cards for whatever event they are running late to.
The extra twist is that players will have the option to purchase some of their creations in real life. That gives the mode a funny, physical-keepsake angle, especially if the group manages to create something awful enough to be memorable. It sounds like the most traditionally Jackbox-style entry in the pack, leaning on prompts, jokes, and player creativity to produce the best kind of nonsense.
MegaPals and Debate and Switch Test How Well Friends Think
MegaPals is a speed-and-guessing game about how connected players are to each other. The goal is to see whether friends can predict each other’s instincts through quick word-based matchups. Debate and Switch takes a different route, turning light-hearted arguments into a presentation-style competition.
Players have to defend silly opinions and convince others to side with them during a town hall-inspired debate. Together, these two games in The Jackbox Party Pack 12 look built around group dynamics. MegaPals rewards knowing how friends think, while Debate and Switch reward knowing how to argue something absurd with full confidence.
Idol Factions and Hyperface Round Out the Pack
Idol Factions is a teamwork and trivia game where two teams race to sort answers into the correct categories. It looks like the pack’s louder, faster trivia option, built around quick thinking and shouted coordination. Hyperface, meanwhile, is a head-to-head photo editing game. Players can use selfies or stock photos, then warp, squash, stretch, smudge, and draw on them to respond to bizarre prompts.
That makes Hyperface the most immediately shareable game in the pack. If it works as intended, it should produce exactly the kind of cursed images that escape the game and end up in group chats afterwards.
The Jackbox Party Pack 12 Arrives Later This Year
The Jackbox Party Pack 12 continues the series’ familiar five-game format, but this year’s lineup looks especially focused on speed, social reading, and player-made chaos.
Jackbox Games says players have joined over 826 million games since December 2022, underscoring how sticky the format remains for parties, streams, and remote hangouts. With all five games now revealed, the only major missing detail is the final release date.
The Jackbox Party Pack 12 is set to launch later this year on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Apple TV, iPad, and the Mac App Store.
