To play the game locally, all you have to do is be on the same Wi-Fi as your friends and host a game in a room. Your friends can join the game locally, and you don't need to be connected to the Internet.

Jackbox Party Pack is a collection of games that can be played at parties with groups of four or more, depending on the game. The latest Jackbox Party Pack 10 includes some compelling new games, including Dodo Re Mi, where you and your team of players have to defeat some monster by playing a musical tapping game. The resulting music is played at the end of the round, and let's say it is mostly less than perfect and usually hilarious.
Head Bangers is a rhythm-based game where you compete against up to 29 friends in various music-based challenges. It has over 23 minigames and does four rounds per game.
