The next Jackbox Party Pack 7 game has been announced. The game is called Talking Points, and it deals with a very uncomfortable act of speaking in front of people.
In Talking Points, each player takes turns giving public speeches off of slides. The twist is, the player giving the speech has no idea what the slides are going to say. Slides can be words that players have to read or pictures that players have to improvise words. Each player takes turns being the assistant to one of the speakers. The assistant's role is to pick the slides for the speaker. Everybody else reacts to the speech. It is unclear how to win the game, but it might involve how people respond to speeches.
Jackbox has been relying on social games. The last two party packs had games like Patently Stupid, Joke Boat, and Push The Button, which heavily relied on social interactions. This game also will depend on social interaction. The social interaction games in previous Jackbox games have also been some of the best. Games like Push The Button and Faking It are staples at many people's Jackbox game nights.
Public speaking is uncomfortable for most people. That's what makes the concept of Talking Points so amazing. People not knowing what they're talking about, but having to give a public speech anyway can be a nightmare. This game turns that nightmare into a fun night for everyone. The concept of this game is hilarious, and the potential is through the roof, and it will be a must-try when Jackbox Party Pack 7 launches this Fall.
Jackbox Party Pack 7 is shaping up to be incredible. The fan-favorite game, Quiplash, returns with Quiplash 3. Champ'd Up offers the new take on the Jackbox drawing game. The Devils and the Details offer the supernaturally weird game vibes seen in previous games like Split the Room. Talking Points gives us the social game that puts people into uncomfortable positions. There are so many different facets of this package, and we're confident it'll be every bit as special and chaotic as the previous entries.
The game releases this Fall on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
