About Jackpot

What is Jackpot about?

A Nigerian team game of hidden signals and bluffing, played in pairs. Collect four of a kind, signal your partner to call Jackpot, and use your suspicion points to catch the other teams out.

Some of the best games we grew up with in Nigeria have never been digitized. Jackpot is the first digital version of one of them. You win by fooling your opponents: pass covert cues to your partner, send fake signals to bait others into wasting their suspicion, and read faces and behaviour for tells.
