Censored (family mode) games in pack 6
Are any of the games in Pack 6 able to be censored. I bought pack 5 but I couldn't play it with my nieces and nephews because some of the content was definitely NOT for children. Is that the case with pack 6 as well? Thanks!

There are two meanings of censoring / family friendliness when it comes to Jackbox games: game-produced content (prompts, questions, etc.) and player-produced content (writing, drawing).

For game-produced content, most games that contain family unfriendly content have a "family friendly" mode that filters out such content. Family friendly games (natively or by filter) should be approximately E10+ rated, while family unfriendly games stay true to the overall T rating.

For player-produced content, some games have options to prevent user inputs from being shown or to allow the VIP (first player in the game) to manually censor inappropriate content when they see it. Censored players remain censored for the rest of the game.

Here are the details for each JPP6 game:

Trivia Murder Party 2
Game-produced content: not family friendly, no filter available. The premise of the game is inherently family unfriendly, and the premise is referenced in a number of questions.
Player-produced content: present, can be disabled. There is a setting that disables minigames that asks the players to write or draw something; the rest of the game consists of making choices.

Role Models
Game-produced content: filter available.
Player-produced content: present, can be censored. Some parts of the game call for user inputs that will be voted on.

Joke Boat
Game-produced content: filter available.
Player-produced content: present, can be censored. The game is centered around writing jokes that will be voted on.

Dictionarium
Game-produced content: family friendly. No family unfriendly prompts. The only game-provided "prompts" are made-up words or phrases presented at the start; the players and audience vote to decide where to go from there.
Player-produced content: present, can be censored. The game is centered around writing dictionary entries that will be voted on.

Push the Button
Game-produced content: filter available.
Player-produced content: present, can be censored. Out of the five minigames, one requires the players to write, and another asks the player to draw; the rest are multiple-choice. Player responses (writing, drawing, and choices) are crucial to gameplay.

I know at least several of the games have family mode options, and I saw at least one had some kind of 'manual censoring' option as well.
trivia murder party does not have censoring
