Jackbox Games are soon to release The Jackbox Megapicker, which is basically a launcher that shows all their games so you won't need to keep switching between packs for all their different games.

As they explained: "The Jackbox Megapicker is your all-in-one solution for organizing, buying, and launching all of your Jackbox games. You no longer have to switch between Party Packs to start playing your favorite games. The Megapicker will give you an overview of the games that you own so you can launch them directly. View games you might be missing, and see news updates and ongoing sales all in one place. Filter your games by genre and create an account to store your preferences and see your game history."

It's releasing on July 29th, and the sweet treat to come with it, is that for 30 days following the release they will be giving away the 3-8 player game Drawful 2.

Usually I would moan about a launcher within a launcher, but in this case, when you think about how many game packs Jackbox Games now have it actually makes a good bit of sense to put it all together somehow.

Seconded, or thirded I guess. This is an actually good launcher idea, because there's been a couple times during sessions that the host forgets which pack has which games.

This is something I had actually hoped for before. Switching between the bundles to go for your favorite games during a "party" was always kind of messy.
Got all mine installed on my TV PC ready to go!
