Guesspionage: I've seen a few people on here criticize Guesspionage, and I gotta defend it because I think it's a lot of fun, kind of a cross between The Price Is Right and trivia. Another example of Jackbox shaking up the boring old "trivia game" format to great effects.
Tee KO: One of the best Jackbox games, period. Once again here, games are long but always more than worth it, and let me tell you why it's so sick they let you buy the shirts you make. I'll never forget one night when my friends and I were super drunk and we ended up ordering $300 worth of shirts after probably our best game ever.
Trivia Murder Party: I prefer the sequel, but I still never get tired of this one.
Quiplash 2: Doesn't offer up a ton of amazing differences compared to the first, but still, it's Quiplash, and that's always a positive.
Fakin' It: Another one of my all time favorite Jackbox games, although it definitely helps to play it with your friends you know well instead of a party with random people.

Trivia Murder Party is a wonderfully strange blend of trivia, mini-games, and Saw movies.
Quiplash is always amazing.
Tee K.O. is the best Jackbox drawing game by far and has led to some all-time classic in our friend group.
Fakin' It is decent, but only in person.
Guesspionage is the weakest link, some version of the really lazy radio morning show host "facts" to fill time.

4 out of the 5 games in this pack are must-plays and you'll have an absolute blast with your friends and family. Unfortunately, it has Guesspionage, which is among the worst games Jackbox has made in any capacity.
Fakin It is nearly impossible to play online, but it's a blast as a local mutiplayer party game. I think it can theoretically be possible online if you don't choose the prompt that forces players to point at one another.

Quiplash 2:
I actually don't mind going back to this one despite the third one being out. I can understand the Quiplash 3's final round being disliked by some people. Despite being a sucker for 3's claymation aesthetic (I am already a massive stop motion fanboy), I still really like this one's soundtrack and relaxing style.
Not much else to say it's Quiplash.
Trivia Murder Party:
My only real problem here is the Americanised trivia questions without the option to turn them off (something the sequel included). Despite sucking at Trivia, I love almost everything about this game and I get reminded me that Jackbox are kings when it comes to the theme of their games. This entire game defines Out of the Frying Pan and it's hysterical because of it.
Guesspionage:
Whilst not a game I visit often, I have a decent time when I play Guesspionage. Guessing different percentages and then finding out what it really is was surprisingly enjoyable. Don't really have much to say on this one except that it's decent fun.
Tee K.O:
I've seen a few people overate this game honestly because I personally don't like how the voting system works. Drawing shirts is fun but winning this game seems really unsatisfying. Maybe I should give this game another go but I always sigh whether I play it because I'd rather just play Champ'd Up which is better in almost every way. The art style and the fact they let you purchase the shirts however is just amazing.
Fakin' It:
Hands of Truth and You Gotta Point are addicting, Number Pressure is alright, Face Value is bad and the last round is almost impossible for the Faker to win.
Overall:
Not really a reason to revisit this one other than nostalgia, though thinking about it now most of the games here are pretty good, there isn't really a bad one here. I can understand people liking this one a lot to an extent but personally this isn't the pack that gets me excited.
