Hey, I'm trying to get a group together for some Jackbox fun this Saturday (May 20th). Probably starting out with Quiplash and see where it leads us. Will start around 6 or 7 pm GMT.
Not looking for sign-ups or anything, but a measure of interest and availability would be helpful. The time is not set in stone yet.

What is this jackbox? Not that I'm free on Saturday, but I feel like I'm out of touch with the cool kids

What is this jackbox? Not that I'm free on Saturday, but I feel like I'm out of touch with the cool kids The Jackbox Party Packs are bundles of party games that use web browsers as input devices. So you can either play locally without needing half a dozen controllers, or remotely by the host streaming their screen and nobody else having to purchase the game. They usually contain a mix of trivia quizzes, drawing games, and "come up with something funny" challenges. You might have heard of Quiplash or Drawful. The first pack also contained some iteration of You Don't Know Jack.

I hope everybody had fun!
Since Saturday, I've been trying to get beam.pro to work flawlessly but no matter what I try, I get the same results. There is one more thing I can test but my hopes are pretty low.
What alternative could we use next time? Twitch and other streaming services have about 15s delay, which sucks. How about Google Hangouts instead?
Finally, does anyone own the Party Pack 3 on PC or some streamable platform? I'd like to play a custom episode of Quiplash, but I only own the third pack on Switch.
