On March 4th, 2025 (four days ago at the time of posting), the official Jackbox Games YouTube channel uploaded a short titled "Your new favorite sitcom!", showcasing a parody opening sequence to a fake TV show titled "Who's In the Office Today?" The short takes place at the titular Jackbox Games headquarters, and has suspiciously more effort put into it than other shorts on the channel.

Okay, let's break this down:
First of all, the picture above depicts the second shot of short, with CEO Mike Bilder (one of the several Michaels starring in the sitcom) writing code alluding to an upcoming reveal, with a Unix timestamp translating to April 7th, 2025, at around 1pm EST.
We are repeatedly introduced to "Michael," with various shots of him in the office. A diorama of the Jackbox head is also present in every shot, and the final shot shows the camera zooming in on him. The text pauses with the music slows down before it shows its name on screen, resulting in the audience not knowing Jack.
Also, a pair of posters depicting You Don't Know Jack games are briefly seen in the same shot. Also also, 2025 marks the 30th anniversary of You Don't Know Jack.
On the official Jackbox Twitter, the team has been posting an image of a frog from Junktopia (P9) with caption text reading "it is wednesday / my dudes" every Wednesday starting from January 22nd.
Trivia Murder Party (P3)'s Arena minigame features a link to a Blogspot blog (triviamurderpartyrulez.blogspot.com) created by the game's host, currently featuring only a single post describing the rules to the aforementioned minigame; [REDACTED] uses the Blogspot username of "Shadow Lurker".
As evidenced by this cameo from him (without his voice filter, though by the same voice actor) in You Don't Know Jack: Full Stream (P5), this may very well be his real name, given he pronounces his censored name with a clear "S" and "R".
On the #general channel of the official Jackbox Games Discord server, community manager Gnomedic posted a link earlier today(!) that directed to a Jackbox site named “Praise the Jack Head.”
Obey the Jackbox Head.
The post includes the crafted depiction of the titular Jackbox logo (which is currently the profile picture of the Jackbox Twitter, and has been used in other external media for the past few weeks) along with Microsoft PowerPoint-style clipart, an email form for the Jackbox newsletter, and a field captioned “Speaketh to the almighty Jack Head.”
Whatever you put in the latter form doesn’t matter, as after the Jack Head “ponders your fate” it will give a generic response advertising Jackbox Games. It is not currently known if this site serves any other purpose SPECIAL RESPONSE JUMPSCARE
