Senior World Artist

Who are We?

Jackbox is a small game studio (~80 people) best known for our Jackbox Party Pack franchise : a set of five social party games released every fall. Since 2014, our games like Quiplash, Drawful, and Trivia Murder Party have been featured on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, by Polygon, and in living rooms and finished basements across the world.

In 2020, we had over 200 million users. And we have hard evidence that one of those users was Academy Award-winner Charlize Theron.

You can learn everything you ever wanted to know about how our games work (spoiler : your phone is the controller!) and who we are and what we make at Jackbox Games .

Notice something that doesn't quite make sense great. We want artists that think critically and understand the nuances of job postings in this day and age.

On the fence? If you're interested in the job but worried you aren't qualified, we encourage you to err on the side of applying. We'd hate to miss out on great candidates just because they're worried they don't check every box on the job description.

But that kind of thoughtful review means that it sometimes takes us a while to get back to applicants, so please be patient with us and no phone calls.
