Big Game Night: Fortnite & Jackbox!

June 25, 2021 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Free
Welcome to Big Game Nights! Every two weeks BBBS will host a new gaming event for matches to team up and hang out!

What will we be playing?

Fortnite is a free to play Battle Royale style game available on almost any system, PC, or phone. Teams start on an island and fight to be the last players standing by the end. We’ll be working as teams, helping each other out, and coming up with strategies as we play! We’re planning on having matches team up in squads and working together. Please note that though popular amongst kids, it is rated T for Teen for cartoon violence. Due to this, we need parental/guardian permission for your little to be allowed to play. Permission form here: https://forms.gle/RaPdb4fqVdvnMbdF9

Jackbox is a collection of free to play group party games! To join in on the fun, all you’ll need is a browser open on a phone, computer, or tablet. For all Jackbox games you’ll need to have a second window open on your computer, or a phone/tablet available. You’ll go to jackbox.tv in your browser and enter the room code shown in Discord to join. All of your answers, submissions, or voting will be done on a browser either through your phone or computer.

How can I play along?

Once you register for the event, you will receive an email with information on how to access the server.

Please note that you won’t be able to see the entire server until 15 minutes before the event starts.

How do I access and use Discord?

Participants will need access to Discord, a copy of Rocket League on any console or computer (if playing), and a phone or computer screen for Jackbox (if playing).

Big Game nights will be hosted on a Discord server that will let participants hang out, voice chat, and send messages to each other! Discord is similar to Zoom or Slack, but set up specifically for collaborative gaming. Discord can be accessed via desktop program, and a browser based version, or phone app.

Check out the videos below, “How To Navigate Discord for Matches” and “How To Adjust Discord Microphone and Audio Settings” for helpful tutorials on how to use Discord.
