The Best 2 Player Jackbox Games for a Cheap At-Home Date Night
When it comes to date nights, fancy dinners and expensive outings are fine... until you check your bank account. For couples looking to keep the love alive and the budget intact, we present: the at-home Jackbox date night. All you need is a compatible device, a stable internet connection, and a sense of humor. Nothing says romance like yelling, “You fool!” across the couch.
If you’ve never played Jackbox before, here’s the scoop: Jackbox Games are a collection of party games that are played using a shared screen (like a TV, laptop, or game console) and mobile devices as controllers. You just boot up a game, share your screen, and each player enters a room code at Jackbox.tv to play. Most games are better with more people, but a few gems shine in a cozy two-player setting, making them perfect for your next low-cost date night.
Here are our recommendations for the best Jackbox games for two players, complete with laughs, competition, and maybe a tiny bit of sabotage.
Fibbage 3
Included in The Jackbox Party Pack 4
Nothing says romance like trying to trick each other with fake trivia answers. In Fibbage 3, you’re presented with weird pieces of trivia missing an important detail. Each player submits a fake answer to fool their partner, and then everyone tries to pick the real one from the bunch. The more you trick them, the more points you get.
The twist: You’ll learn way too much about each other in the “Fibbage: Enough About You” mode, where the questions are about you.
Perfect for: Learning new (and probably embarrassing) facts about your significant other, and building trust by immediately breaking it.
Quiplash 2
Included in The Jackbox Party Pack 3
Planning a double date with some of your favorite couple friends? Try Quiplash 2. Quiplash is a comedy showdown where players write witty responses to prompts like “A bad name for a dating app” or “The worst thing to hear during a romantic dinner.” The two responses go head-to-head, and each of you votes for the best one.
This game is the perfect activity for making new couple friends or breaking the ice when it’s time to meet the parents.
Perfect for: Couples who love roasting each other or who think they’re the funniest person in the room (they're both right).
The Poll Mine
Included in The Jackbox Party Pack 8
The Poll Mine takes a fun twist on surveys. You and your partner answer silly poll questions like “Best cereal mascot” or “Worst place to get dumped.” Then, you take turns trying to guess how you both ranked the options—correctly.
It’s a social deduction meets survey-style game that actually works well with two players—and helps you learn just how off-base your partner’s rankings are.
Perfect for: Couples who love lists, rankings, and starting low-stakes arguments.
Quixort
Included in The Jackbox Party Pack 9
In Quixort, you and your partner compete to sort falling answer blocks into the correct order—like “Star Wars movies by release date” or “Ways to cook an egg by fanciness.” It’s fun, frantic, and surprisingly satisfying.
Bonus: If you're feeling cooperative, you can team up in co-op mode to beat your high score together. And nothing says "we're thriving" like accurately ranking snack foods.
Perfect for: Trivia lovers and competitive couples
Trivia Murder Party 2
Included in The Jackbox Party Pack 6 or The Jackbox Party Starter
In Trivia Murder Party, you’ve been trapped by a trivia-obsessed serial killer and must answer questions correctly to survive. If you don’t, you’ll participate in a variety of skill and luck-based minigames to better your odds of winning in the final round.
Get good together and soon you’ll be able to play against other couples online in Trivia Murder Party 3!
Perfect for: Couples who get really into Halloween and/or pub trivia
Bomb Corp.
Included in The Jackbox Party Pack 2
We’re not gonna lie. Bomb Corp. is not for the faint of heart. If you believe your relationship is rock solid and ready for a true test of skill and communication, this is the game to play. In Bomb Corp., you must work collaboratively with your partner in order to follow instructions and defuse a bomb before the time runs out.
And if you’re an on again/off again type of couple, we recently updated the game to allow you to retry rounds if you fail! We believe in second chances.
Perfect for: Couples who love escape rooms or have recently graduated from couple’s therapy
