Epic's next freebie available from January 24 to February 7.

Current best price for this game is A$16.99 from Fanatical otherwise it's around the $35 mark.

Rated very positive on Steam.

For 1 - 100 players! Your smartphone or tablet is your controller! The team behind YOU DO NOT KNOW JACK presents you in a package FIVE party games that will make you burst out laughing! The following games are included:
1) The comedy trivia Sensation YOU DO NOT KNOW JACK 2015 (1 - 4 players) with hundreds of totally new questions.
2) The exuberant Blossom Game Fibbage XL (2 - 8 players) with over 50% added to the original hit game Fibbage questions.
3) The bizarre drawing game Drawful (3 - 8 players). You draw directly on your smartphone or tablet. (Very little / no real talent is required.)
4) The daring-how-you-want Word Spud (2 - 8 players) to fill in the blanks.
5) The Lie Swatter (1 - 100 players) filled with crazy facts.
Join in on your smartphone, tablet or even the Compute as a controller, and this easy-to-access game will be the perfect entertainment for your next game night or party.
After launching the game from the menu included in the package, players simply go to their web address "jackbox.tv" and then enter the room code shown on the display to join the game.
A confusing number of controllers is not required!
For this you need more than a party.

Current freebie - What remains of Edith Finch.

    We should have an Ozbargain party - you can do this over a screensharing program such as Discord or Zoom.

    • l005e on 11/01/2019 - 08:03

      Whats the Ozbargain discord link?

      • brisdaz on 11/01/2019 - 08:04

        I don't believe there's an offical (or unofficial) Discord server. I was just thinking of using my personal server (please say where you're from if you join) - Online Board Games - https://discord.gg/RaNkZFq

        • brisdaz on 28/03/2019 - 16:46

          We never got to do the jack in the box party.

          Let's try again. I've created a doodle poll with nearby dates. I've trusted Doodle, a swiss tech company, with my google calendar and main email account. That way I can avoid double booking.

          The poll is: https://doodle.com/poll/6gwuas73rs26v7ub Please use your discord or ozbargain username with an @ sign so for me it's @brisdaz.

          Also you'll need to join my discord (link above has expired): https://discord.gg/MsRJyeR

    Awesome! Epic Games pulling out all the stops to launch their platform. May the good times continue on!

    These games are amazingly fun for groups on a big screen. Everyone who plays needs their own phone or ipad to play.

    • jazoom on 11/01/2019 - 10:11

      Don't you just need a web browser? Doesn't need to be a phone or an iPad.

      • Emphasise on 11/01/2019 - 10:59

        Web browser works just the same. Gives a better advantage imo in some games such as drawful.

        • jazoom on 11/01/2019 - 11:11

          I've only ever used it via a web browser on my phone. I didn't feel I had an advantage.

  • camshandez on 11/01/2019 - 07:59

    Man this is a fantastic deal! An absolutely essential game at my house

  • No Child Support on 11/01/2019 - 09:27

    Love this game. Besides Playlink, are there similar games out there (for the PS4) where you can use your phone to connect and play?

    • Yarkin on 11/01/2019 - 16:01

      I've played one on PS4 called "That's You!" which was kinda fun.

  • richmond12 on 11/01/2019 - 09:29

    How to set reminder?

    • psyclone1982 on 11/01/2019 - 10:04

      There is a little reminder button at the bottom of the description. ;)

    • Blorgglorg on 11/01/2019 - 10:05
      +1

      on the right side of the ad under the offer description, there is a bell with the word reminder. Click that and set the date (I just use the preset remind me on the first day of the offer)

  • Game R on 11/01/2019 - 10:07

    Is this free to get and keep after the sale is over or is it free to play only during those dates?

    • Damannation on 11/01/2019 - 11:40
      +1

      Will be free to keep like the other games. They are giving away a new free game every 2 weeks. Not sure till when off the top of my head.

  • overlook on 11/01/2019 - 11:25

    so we have to dl the programs for the game?

    • daitro on 11/01/2019 - 11:56

      Maybe. Subnautica was DRM free until it no longer was and the epic client was required to run it.

      • aragornelessar on 15/01/2019 - 16:39

        I wish I didn't get such bad motion sickness. I jumped in the water and then just got all nauseous!

        • ssquid on 15/01/2019 - 16:53

          Turning off the motion blur can help with that.

  • daitro on 11/01/2019 - 11:57

    Rated very positive on Steam

    Aren't reviews just great, Mr Sweeney?

  • gnarkill on 11/01/2019 - 16:59

    The only one that I already have. :( It's a great game though. Epic are really bringing out some quality freebies.

  • rockpapercannon on 11/01/2019 - 20:05

    Never heard of the series. Can someone please explain how this works? Is it something like one person needs a console hooked up to a TV and people use their phones as controllers?

    • Roemac on 11/01/2019 - 21:33
      +3

      The game runs on the computer (I use it on a laptop which I plug into the TV but you don;t need too) and the contestants use their own mobile devices as the controllers. It works really well as is quite fun to play together.

      • ozhaydos on 15/01/2019 - 09:45

        If you have a TV that has Chromecast built-in or dongle, you can cast from Chrome directly to your TV to give you a little more flexibility for where your laptop is located around the room. :)

  • gelf69 on 15/01/2019 - 09:50

    Unable to download this, either on the site or app :(

    • ssquid on 15/01/2019 - 10:33

      That's because it starts on the 24th.

      • gelf69 on 15/01/2019 - 10:49

        Thanks.
        Guess I shouldn't read/post till after my pot of coffee.

  • jimmy c on 16/01/2019 - 13:06

    Fibbage is a fantastic game. Just beware the Americanisms or use some in your lie to your advantage and to get people to pick your lie!!!
    You will have to complain about the American spelling to get people to "realize" most correct answers are in "American" and not "English." Have fun…

    • drexxx on 25/01/2019 - 13:24

      Figured it out. In the top right hand corner you click the button there and download some installer thing that allows you to launch game from your PC.

      Next step is to figure out how to cast this to my chromecast and play it all haha

      stay tuned for this epic journey

      • coxymla on 25/01/2019 - 21:30

        Better to get a long HDMI cord.

        But you can also launch the game by pinning the exe to your start menu, so you don't have to go through the Epic launcher every time.

  • bargaino on 25/01/2019 - 13:42

    Got it. Then remembered I already had it on Steam from earlier ozb post.

    • kiwijunglist on 26/01/2019 - 09:51

      Same. There was a deal where you got party pack 1-4 or 1-5 for $10 or something like that.

      Epic Games is trying to start their own PC/Mac ecosystem - you have to download the Epic Games Launcher to install it.

  • WhySoSerious on 28/01/2019 - 12:09
