Jackbox Games is committed to providing employment opportunities without regard to race, color, religion, creed, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information, national origin, ancestry, age, veteran status, or disability. Everyone here shares a commitment to excellence and a desire to work in a comfortable, friendly atmosphere. Jackbox Games is a group effort and you must work collaboratively. We only hire clever, kind, motivated and creative people. A love of games (tabletop games, party games, video games) with a special bonus for game design experience.Computer proficiency and adaptability to proprietary writing tools.A killer sense of humor that can be molded to a project’s directives and purpose.Graciously accept and integrate feedback.Participate in punch-up sessions and group brainstorms.Do rigorous and well-documented research.A Jackbox Games writer is also expected to pitch ideas and help to make other game ideas even better. The writing on these projects ranges from absurd prompts that set players up to be funny, to well-researched, surprising trivia questions that are succinct, funny and smart (but again, also sometimes dumb).

Jackbox Games is in search of writers who can generate lots of hilarious and smart (but sometimes dumb) content, on a deadline, for a variety of projects. 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. And we have hard evidence that one of those users was Academy Award-winner Charlize Theron. 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.

Jackbox is a small game studio (~45 people) best known for our Jackbox Party Pack franchise: a set of five social party games released every fall. Jackbox Games is looking for a Writer to join our team in Chicago! (Though currently, we are all working from home.) Who Are We?
