If you have a means of sharing your screen via a video chat app or streaming online, you can get a Jackbox Party Pack game going online without too much trouble. The Tom's Guide staff has recently experimented with Discord’s Go Live feature, which also works. In a post entitled “ How to Play Jackbox Games with Friends and Family Remotely,” Jackbox's own Brooke Hofer offered a number of solutions, including Zoom, Google Hangouts and Steam’s extremely convenient Remote Play Together option.
The good news is that the Jackbox team is well aware of this limitation, and has offered some clever solutions to overcome it. Granted, Jackbox games were designed to bring people together in person, but there are still certain situations (a global pandemic, for example) where that’s simply not possible.
If the Jackbox Party Pack has one major stumbling block, it’s that playing together in real life is ridiculously simple, but playing online can be complicated.
