Jackbox Party Pack is a great game for groups of people. Anybody with a phone or tablet can enjoy it. It doesn't matter if they are a gamer or not or if they are old or young. If they can send a text message or type in a URL on their device, they can enjoy this game.

Fibbage and Quiplash are my favorites. The first involves making up lies to fill in a blank about some obscure fact. You try to fool others into guessing your answer while you pick the true answer. The second one is a bit like Apples to Apples or Cards Against Humanity except that you can answer anything you like, not just choose from premade answers on cards.

Bidiots and Earwax both have their moments and are pretty nice as a change of pace every once in a while. One involves drawing things and placing bids on drawings working with limited information about what each one might be worth. The other involves choosing sound effects to go along with some wacky prompts.

The game seems to go on sale quite a bit. If you have a lot of friends or company over often, then this is a great thing to do with them. If you're often on your own at home, then you'll get less mileage out of this of course. I believe you can play it over Twitch, which could be pretty amusing, but I haven't tried that.

Bottom line: If you're looking for a fun and intuitive party game to play with groups of people (including non-gamer people), then this is a great option. Recommended.
