Games with their own pages:


  • Cast the Expert: Shadow Master MC and DJ Raych from Mad Verse City are actual Chicago-based performers.
  • Creator Backlash:
    • Word Spud is not looked on very fondly by Jackbox Games staff, and the idea of a sequel ever happening is a Running Gag on Jackbox's Twitch streams. An icon for "Word Spud 2" can appear randomly on the desktop in Survive the Internet. CEO Mike Bilder mentions "Word Spud 3" among other insane titles he thinks the company can develop.
    • The Jackbox staff admitted they weren't thrilled how Zeeple Dome came out, citing that it was rushed.
  • Cut Song: The official soundtrack for The Jackbox Party Pack 4 has a version of Survive The Internet's "Credits Theme" with lyrics, which is instrumental in the actual game. It may have been cut because of having Indecipherable Lyrics in some parts.
  • Development Gag:
    • The subtitled titles used in the final round of Tee K.O. are all rejected titles for the actual game.
    • One of the human disguises (and the Mother) from Monster Seeking Monster is a design from Fakin' It.
    • Split The Room stemmed from unused concepts from Bracketeering.
  • Dummied Out: Party Pack 6 has a song in the files for Trivia Murder Party 2 that was the original final round theme, before being scrapped and replaced with the one in the full game. It can be heard here.
  • Fandom Nod: The user names of several Jackbox Twitch and Discord users and moderators are used in the Split the Room trailer.
  • Follow the Leader: Bomb Corp. from The Jackbox Party Pack 2 seems to be heavily inspired by Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, even if the new twists the former brings make the game fun in its own way.
  • In Memoriam: All of the games in The Jackbox Party Pack 8 are dedicated to Adam Charney, a Jackbox employee who died of ALS prior to the game's release.
  • Orphaned Reference: A lyric from Monster Seeking Monster's "Credits Song" makes a reference to the Cardshark, a Dummied Out monster.

    Got a text from Wolfman, just says "bark"
  • Refitted for Sequel: An unused track for Survive the Internet that is only listed in the OST for Pack 4 was later used for Role Models's OST.
  • Unfinished Dub: Monster Seeking Monster has a Russian dub (complete with a Russian voice for the Ventriloquist Puppet), but half of Felicia's dialogue is still in English, including all the monster reveals (though the text is translated to Russian).
  • Working Title: Dictionarium is internally referred to as Ridictionary, implying this was the title at an early point of development.
