Who are We?

Jackbox is a small game studio (~80 people) best known for our Jackbox Party Pack franchise: a set of five social party games released every fall. Since 2014, our games--like Quiplash, Drawful, and Trivia Murder Party-- have been featured on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, by Polygon, and in living rooms and finished basements across the world.

In 2020, we had over 200 million users. And we have hard evidence that one of those users was Academy Award-winner Charlize Theron.

You can learn everything you ever wanted to know about how our games work (spoiler: your phone is the controller!) and who we are and what we make at jackboxgames.com.

HOW TO APPLY

We know it is a time commitment to prepare an application and we respect that effort by thoughtfully reviewing every complete application and responding one way or the other. But that kind of thoughtful review means that it sometimes takes us a while to get back to applicants, so please be patient with us and no phone calls.

Thanks for your interest in Jackbox Games!

F.A.Q.

• I'm not sure if I'm qualified. Should I apply?
  We would much rather read your application than miss out on a great candidate, so please err on the side of applying. If you are passionate about games, give it a shot! The worst thing that happens is you don't get the job, but we promise you're not wasting our time.
• What if I’m too qualified and have extensive work experience?
  You should still apply. We are looking for the best candidates and we will adjust responsibilities (and compensation) to match your experience.
