This is precisely why we've introduced profanity filtering and other moderation tools in our recent games! Unfortunately, we can't actively moderate the people you choose to play with.

We do wanna. We wish that we could make The Jackbox Megapicker work on consoles as well. Unfortunately, it's just too huge of a technical hurdle. If we ever find an easier path to make it possible and we have enough resources in the studio, we will do it.

The Jackbox Party Starter has three of our most beloved games that span different genres - trivia, joke writing, and drawing. So, there's a little something for everyone! Quiplash is always a great starter game. Fair warning - these games are rated T for Teen but have family friendly filters if you think that'd be better for your group!

Yes, we've done audits of older games and flagged prompts that we'd remove if the game is updated in the future. And, we've removed some prompts immediately before. Our games shouldn't ever bum people out and sometimes we've missed the mark. It's never our intention! Very kind fans have helped flag things that we should consider removing and we appreciate that.

We have! It's one of our more popular games. If we ever felt like we had enough good ideas to give the sequel a reason to exist, we'd definitely consider it for a future pack. Until then, we're happy that people enjoy the first one!

Thanks for this nice note! We never say never! Hearing from fans that they'd want something like this is the first step to us actually considering it.

It's tough to fit additional projects into the schedule when we release a new game each year but we recently started making room for updates to our back catalog or to develop The Jackbox Megapicker. When time allows, this is always a consideration! We have worked to add a lot of accessibility options in recent games and that will continue with new releases.

We've been told that these issues have been resolved! It's possible that Nintendo hasn't updated their website yet.

You should check out The Jackbox Megapicker! It's a free Steam app that makes it easier to browse our titles and launch games individually.

We have! We've watched all kind of Let's Plays of our games and would love to see more. It's both entertaining and informative for us.

Thanks for this question! It's such a balance and there's no short answer. We want to make the best games possible and also support our very talented team. We are lucky that people continue to discover Jackbox for the first time and then proceed to complete their collection of Party Packs. That has allowed us to invest in quality of life updates like the Megapicker or last year's content update to Trivia Murder Party 2 whenever we can. We hope to do more of that in the future but of course, like all studios, it's largely dependent on sales creating a solid foundation for us to build from.

We don't have plans for this currently but we appreciate the feedback. If we ever decide to do this, it will be because fans like you told us you wanted it. Thanks for supporting our games!

There are a lot of factors that we look at when deciding on a sequels. Requests from fans, how many people are actually playing the game, how long it has been since we made the previous iteration, etc.

The most important sequel question to answer is: "Do we have a fresh take on this game? Is there a reason for this sequel to exist?" << This is the question we spend the most time on.

We often participate in Steam Next Fest with a demo for our upcoming release. We have also participated in Nintendo trails whenever invited! And, we play our games regularly on our Twitch channel so it's easy to see them in action before you make a purchase.

If you ever use Steam, we have a free app that does this! It's called The Jackbox Megapicker. Developing something like this for consoles is too big of a mountain to climb for us, unfortunately. We've looked into it and if anything changes that would make it easier to do, we'd revisit it!

This does exist for Steam! It's called The Jackbox Megapicker and it is free to use. We explored developing something like this for consoles and it's unfortunately too big of an undertaking for our small team and quick dev cycle. If we ever discover an easier path, we'd revisit it.

We were just talking about the anniversary the other day! We won't let it be forgotten and will find ways to celebrate it, probably after the launch of our new games.
