"The first ones were such a blast," Feldman said "They completely achieved our goal of creating something silly, fun, and distracting amidst this craziness, but Alex and I both realized we could use this to give back to our community in a more concrete way. With the theater community in such a state of flux, it only seemed right to give to The Actors Fund who are doing all they can to help our industry through this insane, unprecedented time. So let's have some fun and do some good! And also, as the self-appointed head of the #ReviveSmash
campaign, this is big for me."

Jackbox Games has been creating irreverent party games since 1995, best
known for their successful trivia franchise YOU DON'T KNOW JACK, the hit
Jackbox Party Pack franchise, Quiplash, Fibbage, Trivia Murder Party, and many
more. Each pack contains a variety of different games that might ask you to draw
weird doodles, write the best inside joke, or answer hilarious trivia questions.
There are hours of laughs in every pack! In addition to the players, the games
allow for audience participation in voting for the best answers, and sometimes
even competing. People can join by simply using the web browser on their
smartphone - no app needed! Visit jackboxgames.com for more information,
