Local (Offline) Multiplayer?

[bf2k]

I want to buy this package mainly just for Fibbage, but also for the other games included. I really just want to play these with my family of four, but I don't want to have to buy four coppies to play some multiplayer trivia with us all in the same room. Is it possible for multiple people to play together offline with the same copy on the same machine?

That's the point of the game, it's local multiplayer. Make sure you all have tablets or smartphones connected to the internet (same wifi works too). You'll need internet access to get to jackbox.tv though. HTH

I think you're misunderstanding how this works and this is something many people are having a slightly hard time grasping, so you're not the only one. Here is a list of what is needed:

1) One copy of the Jackbox Party Pack
2) A WiFi router connected to the internet (the PC and all devices must be connected to said wifi network).
3) Enough tablets/smartphones (unrooted and not jailbroken) for every player (1 per person).

Everything must connect to the same wifi network. When the game boots up, you select your game (YDKJ, Fibbage, Drawful, etc.) and you will then be given a room code. On each tablet/phone, go to jackbox.tv and enter said room code as well as a player name and start the game.

Long story short, your phones/tablets are your individual controllers. People no longer have to crowd around the same PC to use the same keyboard. Also, you only need one copy of the game. This isn't like other multiplayer games where everyone needs their own PC and copy of the game to play with each other.

I realize that was a long explanation, but I wanted to make sure you understood the concept of the game. Hope this helps!

Thanks to everyone for their help. I understood how the game worked on console, but I wasn't sure if somehow the PC port got mucked up.
