The thing is, it’s hard to tell what kind of tone the game is after I played Monster Seeking Monster with two different sets of friends, and in both cases, no one was clear on what approach we were supposed to take. You and the other players have secret monster identities, and you need to woo other players via phone chat, with the goal of going on dates with them (or not, depending on your monster’s power).

The gist of the game is that it’s a monster dating show. Unfortunately, I’m not sure what it delivers. The only exception to that rule is Monster Seeking Monster which is…well, it tries something new, I’ll give it that much. Much like the previous releases, if you’re after a fun party game, it absolutely delivers that. Thankfully, most of the games on offer here fall squarely in the “good” camp. For good or ill, I wanted to check it out immediately, rather than kicking myself 6-8 months from now for not getting in on the game sooner.

After becoming hooked on both Party Packs 2 and 3 thanks to a friend, however, there was no way I was going to let Party Pack 4 suffer a similar fate. I reviewed - and raved about - their first Jackbox Party Pack back in 2014, but since then two more Party Packs escaped our notice. It’s been awhile since we last checked in with Jackbox Games.
