So basically, you run the game on a console or PC connected to the internet. You then have a few people (usually 4-8?) connect to a website (
jackbox.tv) and enter a code. Those people then become "participants". After they've joined, you can have people go to the website on the phone, tablet or laptop and enter a code to join the game as an "audience" member. I think there's a limit, so we'd have to see if we could get a special build for FIRST.
Anyway, it's just a bunch of minigames, most of which are based around words, answering questions, or drawing things. The "audience" then votes/selects their favorite, and points are given out based on how many people chose yours. Most points at the end of all the rounds for that game wins.
You put the game up on the screen and next thing you know, everybody's on a game show. It's really quite fun. People have played it on Twitch, too, but it's not the same as hearing people laugh or groan in person.
