However there are a few ways to work around this on a Roku TV which I will outline below. The current lineup of games such as ‘ You Don’t Know Jack’ (A party trivia game that has some diabolical questions and even more diabolic gameplay to keep you and your friends on your toes), ‘ Split The Room’ (Answer some of the most insane ‘What if’ questions and split the room with your answer) and ‘ Tee K.O’(A deadly fighting tournament won not with fists, but with T-shirts) included in ‘ The Jackbox Party Pack’ are aimed at casual multiplayer for up to 8 players, with some games supporting even more.


Primarily aimed at households and group settings, the games are all rated T for Teen or below and most games have a family friendly setting as well. Jackbox Games are a series of party games developed and published by Jackbox Games and Telltale Publishing. I’ve included detailed sections on what platforms support Jackbox Games and how to get them up and running. However, screen mirroring from your Android phone or tablet is definitely possible. There are also a lot of articles stating it is possible to play using an Android emulator on your Roku TV, but this is simply not possible. To get Jackbox on your Roku TV, you need a streaming device or a gaming console that supports Jackbox Games to run it directly on your TV, since Roku does not have Jackbox listed in their App store. It is possible to play Jackbox Games on Roku, but setting it up is not quite straightforward and might even need other devices. Not wanting to disappoint the group, I hopped online to do some research.Īfter quite a bit of head-scratching and going through articles, support guides, and user forums, I got what I needed. So, being the gamer/tech guy in the group, I promptly proceeded to get everything set up, which is when I realized Jackbox Games isn’t available on the ‘ Roku Channel Store’ (Channels refer to apps on Roku devices). I also really liked the Roku interface.ĭuring a weekend get-together with friends, we were in the mood to play some party games. I got myself a Roku TV to have all my streaming platforms in one place. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
