Rocket League is a free-to-play soccer game where each player controls a car on the field instead of a player. Matches will be split into teams of two or three, playing with and against other BBBS Bigs and Littles. While simply driving around is fun, our matches will also be coming up with strategies, using team communication, and learning how to play from each other!
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.
once you register for the event, you’ll receive the event link in your order confirmation. Please note that you won’t be able to see the entire server until 15 minutes before the event starts.
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.
