The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A social, laughter-filled party game night where players compete in trivia, raps, and drawing with a light, absurd sense of humor.

What players say

Players call this the strongest Jackbox pack, with Mad Verse City, Patently Stupid, and Split the Room as the clear favorites. Zeeple Dome is often skipped and You Don't Know Jack frustrates non-US players with its trivia. The intro is too long, and the games demand at least four people to shine.
