Last weekend, while my girlfriend was away visiting her folks back at home, I decided to invite the boys over and have a weekend gaming session. We had been inclined to get together for quite some time, down some beers, and play big boy games. So being the tech guy in our group, I was assigned the task of having a gaming setup ready. After keeping out the snacks, and the drinks, aahhh, the essential part of any gaming party, I decided to test out the games we wanted to play this weekend. Since we decided to play Jackbox and I hadn’t tried connecting it to Roku before, I wasn’t sure whether you can even get Jackbox on Roku. Forget about how to get Jackbox on Roku!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the risk of not disappointing my boy gang, I got down to do some research. And my research and some tinkering helped me find answers to 2 burning questions of this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Can You Get Jackbox on Roku?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The good news is that you most definitely can play Jack box games on Roku,<\/strong> but the sad news is that setting it up is an arduous task involving many different gizmos and gadgets. You know I had done a post a few months ago on “How to play Jackbox on the big screen<\/strong><\/a>”,<\/strong> this was back when I did not have a Roku TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Now, most of you have heard about Jack box; since it’s such a rage, some of us have not heard about it. You know, just like a percentage of people who have seen Game of Thrones and those who still haven’t. I mean, it is awesome and something not to miss out on. Jackbox games are available on major OTT platforms like the Apple Tv, Amazon, Fire TV, the Google Play Store, and Sling. Jack box is an online gaming platform that can support multiplayer video games, and by multiplayer, I do not mean 4-5 people; It literally allows hundreds of players. One can play each game with 8 players and have over 10,000 people watch as an audience. This is like a gamer’s dream come true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Subsequently, the plan was to play the most famous Quiplash and Fibbage and they came as a part of the Jack box party pack. This allows you to play 5 games across any preferred OTT platform. These games can also be used for smaller groups and are a great source of entertainment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
