Expository Theme Tune / The Jackbox Party Pack

Go To

Trivia Murder Party, and I feel the dread!
If I can't answer these questions, I'm gonna wake up dead!
Trivia Murder Party, in this Murder Hotel!
I thought this was a vacation, but it's a trip to Hell!
— "Credits Song", Trivia Murder Party 2

With multiple games per Party Pack having credits themes with lyrics explaining the game's premise, the number of Expository Theme Tunes adds up quickly.


  • Trivia Murder Party has a darkly-humorous "Monster Mash"-esque rock song playing over the credits.
    It's a Trivia Murder Party
    And I'm your crazy host
    You better answer carefully
    Or get turned into a ghost!
  • The sequel, Trivia Murder Party 2, uses a melancholy 80s pop-rock ballad as its end credits theme.
    Trivia Murder Party
    And I'm filled with dread
    If I can’t answer these questions
    I’m gonna wake up dead

    Trivia Murder Party
    In this murder hotel
    I thought this was a vacation
    But it’s a trip to hell!
  • Fibbage 3 has a relaxing, '70s-style bossa nova song.
    Fibbage 3, Fibbage 3
    I lie to you, you lie to me
    As I try to figure out what you write
    I answer carefully
    Silly me, Fibbage 3
  • Survive The Internet normally has an instrumental credits theme; however, there's a cut version With Lyrics on the OST.
    Hey, look at us
    We need an outlet for our animus
    So let's troll someone we've not met
    Come get on the internet with me tonight
  • Monster Seeking Monster has an incredibly funky theme that wouldn't be out of place at a late-'70s party.
    Monsters are people too,
    Wanna go on dates like me and you
    They go to a club, dance to the beat
    And look all around for monsters to meet
    Some are hairy, some are scary
    There might be one that they wanna marry
    So they pull out their phones and they start to chat
    Monsters seeking monsters, simple as that!
  • Civic Doodle has a goofy, bouncy song sung by Doodle Valley's eccentric Mayor, full of scatting and awkward lyrics.
    Civic Doodle, Civic Doodle
    Just find a blank wall, 'cause you're gonna have a ball
    Once you start to play this game
    Civic Doodle, three piece suit-le
    Put on a tie and a vest, 'cause you gotta look your best
    If you're gonna doodle with me!
  • Patently Stupid has a credits theme In the Style of Randy Newman that outright explains the flow of gameplay.
    Put on your thinking cap
    Grab a pen, and make a design
    Give your invention a name
    And write out your tagline!

    Then it's time to pitch your idea
    With confidence, style, and flair
    Get investors to give you some cash
    Soon you'll be a millionaire!
  • Push the Button has a synth-lounge theme song that wouldn't sound out of place in a 70s sci-fi movie.
    Push the Button, everyone
    Once you've caught the aliens
    You must perform the test to find out who is who
    Whether you die or you survive, it's up to you
  • Joke Boat's theme song is a pastiche of Jimmy Buffett, appropriate for a game that takes place on a cruise ship.
    Joke Boat, settin’ sail for the open sea
    Joke Boat, who’s funnier, you or me?
    Joke Boat, get the crowd on your side and you might win
    If you make ‘em laugh then you’ll know that your ship has come in
  • Dictionarium has the hostess singing a silly Patter Song about the game over the credits.
    The game that you are playing, well, it causes much hilarium
    You make up silly words and phrases ending in hysterium
    You have to answer quickly, no you really mustn't tarry-um
    And anybody can compete, a Tom, a Dick, a Harry-um
    So gather in the living room, pull up a stool or chair-ium
    With lots of foods and beverages like milk or juice or barium
    Then start to make your crazy words and don't forget to vary 'em
    And that is how you win at Dictionarium!
  • The Devils And The Details notably has its theme song play before the actual game, since the Framing Device involves a sitcom about devils living on Earth like a normal suburban family.
    They came from down below
    To a modest bungalow
    Trying to fit in with the herd

    Pitchforks in the pool (impropriety!)
    Life on Earth is full (of anxiety!)
    All these human chores are absurd (every day is a blur)

    Housework, jobs, and school
    This daily torture's cruel
    Still each week they jump into the fray
    The Devils and the details every day!
  • Quiplash 3 has a '60s garage-rock number that explains not just how to play, but also how the new final round, "Thriplash", works
    Well, the prompt shows up
    You give it your best shot
    Then it’s head-to-head
    In a comedy onslaught!

    When it’s time for the final round
    And you’re feeling carefree
    Instead of writing one thing down
    Now you’ve gotta write three!
  • The Wheel of Enormous Proportions uses a digital tune with Eleanor Forte on vocals to describe the combination of knowledge and luck needed to achieve the titular character's favor.
    Up on a mountain top
    Its questions never stop
    Hope you’re really good at trivia!
    And with a spin of its face
    Maybe it lands upon your space
    Fulfilling all your dreams beyond compare!
  • Poll Mine has Caitlyn Martin sing a slower tune from the point of view of the game's villainous host.
    Here's how we play it: I'll give you the questions and the answers too... (Spoken) You're welcome.
    You pick the three that look best to you... (Spoken) Easy, huh?
    Determine their order and be very brave
    I’ll set you free as long as you do not cave
