Steam Next Fest has kicked off, featuring a bevy of games for players to try out for free. Among them, Jackbox Games is presenting The Jackbox Party Pack 10 demo to give players a glimpse of the upcoming party game. Slated to officially launch on Thursday, October 19, the pack will include five original party games, one more chaotic than the other.
Now through Monday, October 16, players can download and play The Jackbox Party Pack 10 demo for free. It includes game rounds from two of the games, FixyText and Dodo Re Mi, giving players a taste of what’s to come later this month.
Jackbox Party Games Are Joining the Steam Next Fest Celebrations
Jackbox Games, the Chicago-based studio behind popular party games like Quiplash, Fibbage, and Drawful, is back with more multiplayer chaos. It is joining the Steam Next Fest extravaganza to showcase its brand-new set of party games.
Players can download The Jackbox Party Pack 10 demo on Steam ahead of its official launch right now until October 16, 10:00 a.m. PT. The demo lets players try out abbreviated versions of two of the five games included in the full pack: the chaotic teamwork-based writing game FixyText and the rhythm game Dodo Re Mi.

Both games are available to be played in English, French, Italian, German, Castilian Spanish, and Latin American Spanish.
The developers will also be at the Steam Next Fest event with a live stream, inviting anyone interested in The Jackbox Party Pack 10 demo and the full game to join in and ask questions. The team will be streaming live on Friday, October 13 at 10:30 a.m. PT with a Dodo Re Mi play-through and Q&A session.
This gives players a unique opportunity to see the game and speak to the creators behind the popular franchise. The demo can be downloaded during the entire Steam Next Fest, after which it won’t be available anymore, and players will need to wait for the official release on October 19.
The Jackbox Party Pack 10 Demo Includes Two Original Games
When the official game launches, it will include five original titles. Two of these are included in The Jackbox Party Pack 10 demo: FixyText and Dodo Re Mi.
FixyText offers a unique way for a group of friends to collaboratively write a text message and reply to wacky requests from various conversation types. All players get thrown into one text box and have one minute to type away, getting in each other’s way, changing other players’ words, and causing chaos. All without the option to backspace or delete.
Dodo Re Mi is the second game included in the demo that sees a group of players literally band together to create tunes that may or may not be music to their ears. Playing as cute songbirds and having a plethora of instruments and voices to choose from, players have to play their notes accurately to stay in the game and avoid being eaten by a carnivorous plant. The result? You can listen for yourself:
Once the official The Jackbox Party Pack 10 launches, a total of five games will be included. All the games can be played with up to nine players, either locally or remotely, with everyone using their phones or tablets as controllers to play.
In addition to the aforementioned games, Tee K.O. 2, a new take on the popular fashion-designing party game, Hypnotorious, a game with hidden identities, and Timejinx, a time-travel trivia game, will be part of the set. These, however, are not included in the demo.
