"Like the other viral game series, the gameplay involves looking at evidence and interrogating suspects if you're innocent, and trying to blend in and escape detection if you're the criminal. But Jackbox's Suspectives mini-game, aka dog Among Us, has everyone playing as a dog wearing a hat and not an astronaut. And rather than sci-fi, the setting is more like film noir. It was an instant hit among my group of friends, and likely one of the stand-outs of the latest Jackbox Party Pack (can you believe they have already reached 11 packs?) out this week."
"Others in the pack include: Doominate, a variation of the usual wordplay game people love to use to showcase their sense of humor; Hear Say, where you have to record a bunch of weird sounds and have them played back to you out of context; Cookie Haus, a cookie-decorating game for the art fiends; and Legends of Trivia, a fun mini-RPG where your characters progress by answering trivia questions correctly. The games usually require at least 3 players to start, although the trivia game can be played with just one. Only one person needs to own the game and everyone else can just use their phones as controllers to join in. The pack offers a good mix of difficulty, with every game being relatively accessible, and perhaps trivia being the toughest for non-gamers, at least in my experience."
Jackbox Party Pack 11 features several accessible party mini-games, led by Suspectives, a film-noir, dog-themed social-deduction game. Players examine evidence and interrogate suspects when innocent or try to blend in as the criminal. Suspectives replaces astronauts with dogs in hats and shifts the tone from sci-fi to noir. Other included games are Doominate (wordplay), Hear Say (recorded sounds), Cookie Haus (cookie decorating), and Legends of Trivia (mini-RPG trivia). Most games require at least three players, but trivia can be played solo. Only one player needs to own the pack; others join using phones as controllers.
