Because Pack 7 exists and is ultimately a better version of Pack 3 (Quiplash 3 over 2, Champ'd Up over Tee K.O.) with more complex and "stragetic" games, I thought there's not any real reason to play this one instead. But when I played the packs with my young cousins the simpler titles in here were probably their favorites! So I'd argue it's just about as good.
Quiplash is excellent as always, Trivia Murder Party did the impossible and made trivia actually fun for once, Guesspionage is REALLY BORING AND LAME, Tee K.O. is kinda flawed but the fact that you can buy the t-shirts you make means that it's goated, and Fakin' It seems really fun with the right group (bad liers kinda kill it).
I might prefer some games from 4, 9 (emphasis on SOME), and especially 7, but the simple nature of these makes this pack still one of the best in terms of what you're gonna get.

The games included in this Jackbox Party Pack are some of my personal favorites and are an absolute blast with the right group of friends or even family. My favorites from this pack are Tee K.O. and Murder Trivia Party. They are the games in my personal opinion to have the most chaos in the best possible ways. I look forward to playing them with friends and family again.
Definitely one of the stronger entries.
Quiplash 2: The classic, probably the strongest game to introduce people to Jackbox as a whole.
Tee K.O.: Not a bad game by any means, but I personally got pretty tired of it a long while ago.
Trivia Murder Party: One of the strongest takes on their trivia formats, letting the gimmick be the set dressing around the game and the punishments for being wrong. No surprise they made a sequel.
Fakin It: One of my personal favorites, a sillier take on the Hidden Roles game.
Guesspionage: Probably the weakest in the pack, but not bad at all; an unusual trivia game focused not in knowledge of trivia but accuracy of numbers.
If you can only get one, this is a solid contender alongside 4. Probably the most accessible, and they know it, since it's probably the single title with the most sequels made (at least as of right now).

I don't usually review multiplayer games because of how the experience can vary depending on the people you play with, but The Jackbox Party Pack 3 is something special. Hundreds of hours have been spent playing this game with friends and whether it be making fun of each other or inside jokes, this game could always manage to make us all laugh and have a good time. This game has shaped my humour probably for the worse, but I wouldn't replace my experience with this game with anything else. If you have a group of close friends, do yourselves a favour and play this game together.
This is a better party game than any party game that ever came out. This game is very unique in every way and this game is just so much with friends and family. This game masters its games and its control. The only game that weaker than the other is Guesspinoge but that game is still like an 8.5/10. But the best game on the pack is Fakin' It. This game is a must play at parties.
A classic party game. This was my first jackbox pack and it is one that I consistently return to whenever I'm looking to entertain a group of people. This pack has something for almost everyone and can be enjoyed with even as little as 3 people. Worth checking out if you're having a group over for a game night
guesspionage (3/5) - cool game and cool concept, but the polls are old/outdated now, and the game is a little too simple?
fakin' it (3/5) - not great because it's designed specifically for in person play, but it can feasibly be done online and on streams if you really want to. and when it is done on streams well, it ends up being pretty fun. i think they should've made it easier for the faker to escape on the final round, cause the final round is very rough for the faker 90% of the time.
tee ko (3/5) - fun drawing game, but lacks direction and the voting system is meh. heard they're fixing that in the new one though.
trivia murder party (3/5) - it's the classic tmp so it's good in that aspect, but the second one is far better. still fun tho
quiplash 2 (4/5) - great quiplash, this quiplash game probably has my favorite final round, but none of the final rounds in quiplash games are great. but it's a good one
