There is always something happening in Salem. Find upcoming events, public meetings, and things to do on this calendar.
Middle and high school-aged youth are invited to login and spend an evening playing hilarious Jackbox games like Quiplash, Fibbage, Guesspionage, Bracketeering, and Split the Room. Each game starts with a tutorial and is easy to learn for new players.
Two screens are needed to play Jackbox games. No download is necessary. Each player will go to Jackbox.tv and enter a code as each game begins. We encourage players to enter the Zoom meeting on a computer and either (1) use a second device (phone, ipad, etc) as their game controller or (2) split the screen and go to Jackbox.tv in a second window. We promise - it is easier than this makes it sound!
Sign up to play Jackbox on July 16. You will get the Zoom ID by email the day before the event.
