Trivia
Trivia
- This is the second Jackbox Party Pack to not feature Cookie Masterson as the host of any of the games in this pack, the first being The Jackbox Party Pack 6.
- This is the final Jackbox Party Pack to have "Not Family-Friendly" game, which is, Weapons Drawn.
- In the lead-up to announcing Drawful: Animate, Jackbox Games released a series of GIF images that had text written on them. If you were to take only the black letters into consideration, they spell out Word Spud 2. While this lead people to think that this was the game being revealed, it was most likely done as part of Jackbox Games' ongoing joke of falsely teasing and referencing a sequel to Word Spud. Yet not doing it on April Fool's Day was certainly quite cruel of them.
- This is the first Jackbox Party Pack to have multiple games that can hold more than 8 players.
- It is also the first and currently the only Jackbox Party Pack to have multiple drawing games, being Drawful: Animate and Weapons Drawn.
- Starting on July 12th, Jackbox Games began hosting an ARG event for fans to try and guess what the final game in the party pack was going to be, yet it was far more akin to a scavenger hunt since they directly told everyone that they were doing an ARG, which is one of the big things you don't do when hosting one.
- The game revealed was Weapons Drawn.
