Jackbox Party Pack 8 just murdered Among Us

InnerSloth’s wildly popular Among Us is a social deduction game where sinister Imposter aliens murder innocent Crewmembers. The full crew must vote the Imposter off the ship — or die trying.

Enter Jackbox Party Pack 8, which has the perfect Among Us alternative for your next game night in-person or over Zoom.

Weapons Drawn gives everyone “access to the fun part” of murder mysteries (the murder!) while also incorporating Jackbox’s classic drawing mechanics you’ll find in hits like Drawful.

And, despite all the death, the points-based system means that nobody is ever eliminated.

“A social deduction game where everyone is both a murderer and a detective. Players doodle all the clues, hiding a letter from their name in the weapon drawings. Can you solve murders while trying to get away with your own?”

Like all Jackbox games, Weapons Drawn is delightfully silly fun for just about anybody — but maybe don’t let the kids play this murderous good time.

Everybody brings two guests, and each player murders other guests by correctly guessing who they belong to. Meanwhile, solving murders helps to distract everyone.

You leave behind a murder weapon you have to draw based on a prompt that includes your calling card: a single letter from your name. (Hint: Have a long name!)
