‘The Jackbox Party Pack 6’ Reveals ‘Push The Button’

2 min read

Jackbox Games has revealed the third party game that will launch with The Jackbox Party Pack 6 this fall — Push The Button! How well do you know your friends? Like, really know them? Could they be hiding something from you? Maybe a shellfish allergy? A dream of joining the circus? Maybe not… perhaps they’re just aliens from outer space trying to kill all humans?!

Well they are in Push The Button! Shape-shifting aliens have infiltrated your spaceship, and the only way to detect them is to play a series of tests in which you and your friends write or draw responses to challenging prompts or defend your answers to divisive questions. In the Drawing Test, for example, humans might receive the prompt “draw a couple in love” while the aliens get “draw an elderly couple” — the drawings will be close, but different enough to raise suspicion…

Once you think you’ve figured out who the aliens are, you can PUSH THE BUTTON, shoving the alleged aliens into an airlock and the cold deep void of space. Sounds easy, right? Did we mention you have to do it all before the timer runs out or else the aliens win?

Push The Button supports four to ten players who really like to yell at each other.

Push The Button will be featured in The Jackbox Party Pack 6 alongside Dictionarium, which lets you compete to create definitions for totally made-up, never-before-seen words, and Trivia Murder Party 2, a deviously funny trivia game where getting questions wrong leads to fighting for your life in a variety of absurd and challenging mini-games.

The Jackbox Party Pack 6 is expected to launch this fall on PC, consoles and major digital platforms. Get updates on future playthroughs of games in The Jackbox Party Pack 6 by following Jackbox Games on FacebookInstagram and Twitter.
