Jackbox prices start at $9.99 for a standalone game. Party Packs run from $24.99 to $29.99, and the price of bundles can reach $199.99. I checked the U.S. Jackbox shop, and it was running several sales, so I've split regular prices from the temporary ones below.
Buy a Party Pack if you know which games your group will like. Buy a standalone game if you only want a single title. Only go for a bigger bundle if you're starting your library from scratch.
Jackbox pricing: TL;DR
At the time of writing, prices were checked against Jackbox's own shop and product pages. All prices below are regular prices, and sale prices change by platform and region.
- Standalone games: 1 game, or 1 classic collection, for $9.99 to $19.99. Best for players who want 1 specific title.
- Party Packs 1 to 4: Each pack has 5 games at $24.99. Best for groups that want a lower-priced pack.
- Party Packs 5 to 11: Each pack has 5 games at $29.99. Best for groups that want newer titles.
- Party Pack 12: Includes 5 new games launching October 15, 2026, priced at $29.99. Best for players waiting for the newest release.
- Party Starter: 3 updated games for $19.99. Best for first-time Jackbox buyers.
- Big Bang Bundle: 6 games for $34.99. Best for players who want newer games at a lower price.
- Party Trilogy: Packs 1 to 3 for $59.98. Best for fans of the early packs.
- Party Trilogy 2.0: Packs 4 to 6 for $67.99. Best for groups that want the middle releases.
- Party Trilogy 3.0: Packs 7 to 9 for $76.49. Best for players who want the newer packs without needing to buy everything.
- Party Quadpack: Packs 1 to 4 for $74.97. Best for groups that want 20 games.
- Party Quintpack: Packs 1 to 5 for $99.99. Best for groups that want 25 early games.
- Party Quintpack 2.0: Packs 6 to 10 for $119.99. Best for groups that want 25 newer games.
- Decade Bundle: All 50 games across Packs 1 to 10 for $199.99. Best for new buyers who want everything.
Party Pack 12 launches October 15, 2026 across Steam, Epic, PS5, Xbox, Switch, Apple TV, iPad, and Mac. The 5 games are We Forgot a Card, MegaPals, Debate and Switch, Idol Factions, and Hyperface. The pack costs $29.99.
Jackbox vs. Weekend: Price comparison
Weekend is a party game app for Roku, Fire TV, Samsung, and LG smart TVs. It includes Jeopardy!, Song Quiz, Wheel of Fortune, and many more games for $12.99/month after a 7-day free trial.
An advantage with Weekend is that new games get added frequently, so your lineup stays fresh at no extra cost.
{{cta-fortune}}
The Jackbox Games Channel on Amazon Luna shut down on June 10, 2026, which leaves Weekend as the only subscription in this comparison.
Jackbox gives you permanent ownership of whatever you buy. Weekend gives you ongoing access to its full library for 1 monthly price.
Weekend costs less to start. Jackbox can cost less over several years if you buy 1 pack and keep replaying it. A year of Weekend comes to $155.88, close to the $149.95 you'd pay for 5 new Party Packs at $29.99 each.
The setup is different too. Weekend installs straight from your TV's app store. Jackbox has no native app on Roku or Fire TV, so on those TVs you'll also need a PC, console, or Apple TV to host the game.
Which should you choose?
My pick depends on how often you host and what you already own.
- Weekend: I'd go with Weekend if you want 1 app on your TV and don't want to buy something new every time your group gets tired of a game. Check your platform first, since the lineup varies a little. Karaoke, for example, is only on Roku.
- Jackbox: I think Jackbox makes more sense if you'd rather own your games outright or you already have a favorite pack. It's also the easier choice if you host from a PC or console, because that's the setup Jackbox is designed for.
- Both: If your group loves Jackbox's writing and deception games, I'd keep those and add Weekend for licensed game shows like Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune, plus music trivia with Song Quiz. That gives you 2 different kinds of game night without buying more packs.

{{cta-spoton}}
1. Jackbox standalone games
What's included: The standalones cover several game styles. Drawful 2 is a drawing game, both Quiplash titles are writing games, and Fibbage XL is a bluffing game.
Trivia Murder Party 3 and the YDKJ Classic Pack are trivia, and The Jackbox Survey Scramble has you guess how other people answered.
Fakin' It XL joins them on November 12, 2026, at $8.99, the cheapest standalone yet. It's a remote-play-friendly version of Fakin' It All Night Long with the mature content removed, aimed at a T for Teen crowd.
Best for: I'd recommend this if your group asks for the same game every time you get together.
Pros
✅ Most cost $9.99, about a third of a new Party Pack
✅ You don't pay for extra games
✅ The cheapest way to find out whether your group likes Jackbox
Cons
❌ 1 game gets repetitive if you host every week
❌ Some overlap with packs you may already own, like Fibbage XL in Party Pack 1
❌ Buying 3 at $9.99 costs about the same as a full $29.99 pack
2. Jackbox Party Packs
Jackbox has released 11 numbered Party Packs so far, and Party Pack 12 arrives October 15, 2026. Packs 1 to 4 cost $24.99 each and Packs 5 to 11 cost $29.99 each. Party Pack 11 is the newest one you can buy, with Doominate, Hear Say, Cookie Haus, Suspectives, and Legends of Trivia.
What's included: Each pack has 5 games, usually a mix of trivia, drawing, writing, and deception. Players use their phones as controllers through Jackbox.TV.
Best for: Groups that meet regularly and like switching between game styles in the same night.
Pros
✅ About $5 to $6 per game at full price
✅ Only the host buys the pack, and everyone else joins for free on their phone
✅ Older packs get the deepest discounts during sales
Cons
❌ Most groups won't enjoy all 5 games equally
❌ You can't buy a single game out of a pack
❌ Owning earlier packs doesn't lower the price of new ones
3. Jackbox Party Starter
What's included: Updated versions of all 3 games, with moderation tools, subtitles, and content filters. Quiplash 3 is a writing game, and Trivia Murder Party 2 mixes trivia with mini-games. In Tee K.O., players draw designs and write slogans for T-shirts.
Best for: First-time buyers and hosts whose group mixes kids with adults.
The Party Starter costs $19.99 for 3 games, Quiplash 3, Trivia Murder Party 2, and Tee K.O. That works out to about $6.66 per game, a little more than a numbered pack.
Pros
✅ Cheaper than every numbered Party Pack
✅ 3 well-known games, so you're not guessing what your group will like
✅ Content filters make mixed-age game nights easier to host
Cons
❌ 2 fewer games than a numbered pack
❌ The original versions come from Party Packs 3, 6, and 7, so you may own them already
4. Jackbox Big Bang Bundle
What's included: Doominate, Hear Say, Cookie Haus, Suspectives, and Legends of Trivia from Party Pack 11, plus The Jackbox Survey Scramble.
Best for: Players who want the newest Jackbox games and don't own Party Pack 11 yet.
The Big Bang Bundle costs $34.99 and combines Jackbox's 2 most recent releases in 1 purchase.
Pros
✅ For $5 more than Party Pack 11, you get The Jackbox Survey Scramble
✅ Saves about $5 against buying both separately ($39.98)
Cons
❌ 5 of the 6 games are Party Pack 11, so variety stays narrow
❌ If you already own Party Pack 11, the $9.99 Survey Scramble standalone is cheaper
5. Jackbox bundles
Jackbox bundles combine 3 to 10 Party Packs in 1 purchase, priced from $59.98 to $199.99. You pay once and get the whole set, so you don't have to buy packs one at a time.
What's included:
- The Party Trilogy ($59.98) covers Packs 1 to 3
- The Party Quadpack ($74.97) covers Packs 1 to 4
- The Party Quintpack ($99.99) covers Packs 1 to 5
- Trilogy 2.0 ($67.99) covers Packs 4 to 6
- Trilogy 3.0 ($76.49) covers Packs 7 to 9
- Quintpack 2.0 ($119.99) covers Packs 6 to 10
- The Decade Bundle ($199.99) covers all 50 games across Packs 1 to 10
Best for: Hosts starting a library from zero who play often enough to rotate through dozens of games.
Pros
✅ The Decade Bundle saves about $80 against buying all 10 packs at regular prices ($279.90)
✅ The Party Quadpack works out to about $3.75 per game, the lowest per-game price in the lineup
Cons
❌ $199.99 upfront for the Decade Bundle
❌ A bigger bundle can cost more per game, like Trilogy 3.0 at about $5.10 per game
❌ Checkout totals don't always drop for packs you already own
Which Jackbox option should you choose?
I'd base the decision on 2 things: how often you host and how many Jackbox games you already own. New buyers and occasional hosts can start small, while weekly hosts may get more value from a bundle.
- 1 favorite game: A standalone makes the most sense if your group already has a favorite, like Quiplash or Drawful 2, and you'd rather spend $10 to $15 than buy a full library.
- First purchase: I'd start with the Party Starter at $19.99. You get 3 well-known games without paying for a full pack.
- Several game styles: Pick a single Party Pack when you know which lineup suits your group. If you want Party Pack 11 plus The Jackbox Survey Scramble, get the Big Bang Bundle.
- Frequent hosting: Multi-pack bundles work best if you host often and don't already own many of the packs inside them. The Decade Bundle only makes sense if you'll play across all 10 Party Packs.
Can you buy Jackbox games individually?
Yes, you can buy Jackbox games individually. Seven standalone titles sell for $9.99 to $19.99 today, and Fakin' It XL joins them at $8.99 on November 12, 2026.
Buying individually pays off when your group always returns to one title. Quiplash alone is $9.99, against $24.99 for a full Party Pack. The math flips once you want several games: a $29.99 pack averages about $6 per game, and a discounted older pack can cost less than that.
A few newer standalones don't live in any numbered pack at all. The Jackbox Survey Scramble and Trivia Murder Party 3 are separate releases, so buying an existing pack won't get you either one.
How low do Jackbox sales go?
Jackbox runs frequent sales across Steam, Nintendo, Xbox, PlayStation, and its own store, and older packs usually see the most extreme price cuts.
The original Party Pack has hit $8.74 on Steam per third-party price trackers. The Naughty Pack has hit a historical low of about $6.99 (~65% off) through an official storefront promotion.
I’d recommend paying full price if you need a specific game right now, and waiting for a sale if you're after an older pack. Check a bundle's price against the discounted price of the packs inside it, and check what you already own, since a bundle's checkout total doesn't always drop to reflect games you've already bought.
Jackbox price on Steam, Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox
Jackbox prices start at similar levels everywhere, but sale timing differs by platform.
Most numbered packs list at $24.99 or $29.99 on Steam, which runs its own seasonal sales on older packs separately from Jackbox's own shop discounts.
Switch prices are similar to Steam and the direct shop, though Nintendo runs its own promotions on top, so a pack can cost less during an eShop-only sale.
PlayStation and Xbox pricing tracks the same $24.99 to $29.99 range, confirmed on Party Pack 11's Xbox listing at $29.99, matching the official shop. Buy on whichever platform is already connected to your TV, since only the host needs to own the game.
Why are Jackbox games so expensive?
A new Party Pack costs $29.99 for 5 separately developed games, about $6 per game. Spending climbs fast once your group wants games spread across 4 different packs, since packs don't get cheaper for people who already own others.
4 newer packs can run close to $120, and your group may only end up playing a fraction of that library regularly.
Jackbox can also be expensive if your group only plays a few times a year, or you keep buying new packs chasing one specific title. It pays off better when you host often, your group likes several game styles, you buy older packs on sale, or you replay the same pack for years.
Is Jackbox a good deal in 2026?
One Party Pack makes sense for a group that meets regularly. You get 5 games for $24.99 to $29.99, and only one person needs to buy it. The group can split the costs, making it quite affordable.
A library built pack by pack gets harder to justify once you're not sure which games you're actually using. The $19.99 Party Starter is the simplest entry point. It has 3 games with broad appeal and a small enough lineup to make the choice easy.
One numbered Party Pack makes sense once you know which 5 games your group wants, and waiting for a sale on an older pack usually pays off. The Decade Bundle only makes sense for a host who plays often enough to use most of it.
Jackbox no longer sells any kind of subscription. The Jackbox Games Channel on Amazon Luna, the $4.99/month option that streamed all 8 Party Packs (around 41 games) without buying packs, shut down on June 10, 2026. Every purchase today is one-time.
{{cta-jeopardy}}
What do you need to play Jackbox?
To play Jackbox, one person has to own and run the game on a host device, a PC, Mac, console, iPad, Apple TV, or compatible TV. Other players join at Jackbox.TV from their own phone, tablet, or computer, which acts as their controller.
Neither Roku nor Fire TV runs a native Jackbox app. You'll need a host device plus an HDMI connection or screen mirroring on either platform. Our Roku guide and Fire TV guide walk through the setup, and both cover native alternatives that skip the extra hardware.
Jackbox pricing: Final verdict
The best Jackbox buy is usually one carefully chosen Party Pack, 5 games under $30, that covers the whole group with a single purchase. The Party Starter is the easiest entry point at $19.99. Standalones make sense for one specific title. Bigger bundles suit hosts who play often.
Check which games your group will actually play before buying the Decade Bundle for its headline number. A $9.99 standalone can beat a $199.99 collection you rarely open.
Weekend is the clearer subscription option now that Jackbox has none of its own. It costs more over a long stretch than one well-chosen Party Pack, but the lower starting cost makes it easier to try. If you compare it to Nintendo's party series, you can see how much Mario Party costs too.
Get every game instead of picking one Jackbox pack
If working through the Jackbox price breakdown above has you stuck deciding which single pack to buy, Weekend skips that decision. One subscription unlocks the whole lineup, no per-game purchase required.
