It takes a while, and there is a fair amount to it. This game is very much like the old 'T.K.O.' where instead of drawing t-shirts based on prompts, this walks you through creating your own joke. 'Joke Boat' is likely to either be a hit or a flop with certain groups. The pacing of the game is a little slow, and while the reveals can generate a little chuckle, the time-to-reward ratio doesn't feel as good as some others in the past. It might be something like 'assign each player a season' and points are rewarded if you correctly pick the group's choice. The next game, 'Role Models', is a type of group personality test. The next couple of games show much more of this 'involved' gameplay which can be a little negative. The final burst round of trivia is almost always filled with yelling and cheering as players jockey back and forth for the final escape. As it is, this game is pretty fun, and it is clear it was popular as they brought it back. While players are represented as dolls, the fact you are stabbing, poisoning, or otherwise killing the other players might be a bit too much for some. The original was by far the darkest mini-game (especially considering the rest of the third one were light-hearted) and this one continues with dark violence.

Starting with the return of 'Trivia Murder Party 2,' players are captured by a crazed murderer and forced to answer questions with only one person getting out alive. For this one, the developer has specifically mentioned that it is for adults, with heavier tones, language, and subjects. Though there were always options in the past to turn on censoring, it was largely not needed too much, excluding the very occasional question or language that was adult-oriented. The five new ones are much darker and more involved in this pack. After this, a winner is announced before it's possible to play again or pick a new one. Each game is typically a short 10-15-minute affair, such as answering trivia questions or trying to guess certain things. For streamers or anyone else watching, they can join as well to be part of the audience and often give out small point bonuses. Each 'Pack' has five mini-games in it that can be selected, and this game hosts it online (without needing the paid Nintendo account) and waits for players to connect with their phones or tablets. Here is a quick overview of what this is about for those that do not know.
