Maybe someday I’ll be able to leap off the couch and run to Chris’s chair and collaborate with him to undermine Amanda, but for now it’s firmly in the “good, but we can do better” camp. We tried a couple times and it fell flat, but the potential is so clearly there.

Quiplash 3 is the first game on the list in The Jackbox Party Pack 7 and its easily the worst of the bunch. ![]() It’s a game designed to be chaotic, forcing players to both work together, and undermine each other, which would be exactly the kind of convoluted, messy gameplay that would liven up any party.

In previous Quiplashes, players would compete to fill in prompts against each other, only for everyone to get the same prompt in the final round. However, this version does something crucial: it fixes the godawful endgame.
