You lot Don't Know Jack is a series of video games adult by Jackbox Games (formerly known as Jellyvision Games^[one]) and Berkeley Systems, besides as the title of the outset Y'all Don't Know Jack game in the series. You Don't Know Jack, framed equally a game evidence "where loftier culture and pop civilization collide", combines trivia with one-act. While it is primarily a PC and Mac-based franchise with over two dozen releases and compilations for those platforms, at that place have been a few entries released for consoles: two for the original PlayStation, and the 2011 release which had versions for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo DS and Wii. In 2012, Jackbox Games developed and published a social version of the game on Facebook^[ii] with cantankerous-platform versions subsequently released for iOS,^[3] Android^[4] and Kindle. On Nov five, 2013, the majority of the franchise's many volumes and spinoffs were reissued onto Steam^[five] by Jackbox Games.

On October 17, 2018, You Don't Know Jack: Total Stream was released as part of The Jackbox Party Pack 5 for the same platforms as Yous Don't Know Jack 2015.

History [edit]

In 1991, Jellyvision'due south former identity, Learn Television receiver, released the accolade-winning picture The Mind'south Treasure Chest, which featured pb character Jack Patterson. When Learn Television sought to use new multimedia technologies to create a more active learning experience, the company teamed up with Follett Software Company and adult "That's a Fact, Jack!", a reading motivation CD-ROM game show series covering young adult fiction, targeted to 3rd through 10th graders. The game would give a title for a child to read, and then inquire questions related to that title.

The thought for You Don't Know Jack began while That'due south a Fact, Jack! was still in evolution. The game's title comes from the more vulgar version of the phrase: "You don't know jack shit".

Gameplay [edit]

Virtually versions of the game can be played by up to three players. The game tin exist played past only one player on the website and the iOS app. The game can exist played by up to four players on the tabletop version, You Don't Know Jack 2011 (except for the PC and Nintendo DS versions, which are express to two players), the OUYA version, Political party and the game in The Jackbox Party Pack titled Yous Don't Know Jack 2015. The Full Stream edition in The Jackbox Party Pack 5 can conform up to viii players plus upward to x,000 additional "Audience" members. All versions of the game feature the voice of an off-screen host, who reads questions aloud, provides instructions regarding special question types, and pokes fun at the players.

The game usually opens with a green room segment, in which the players are prompted to enter their names and given instructions for play. The audio during this segment includes rehearsing singers, a busy producer, and a harassed studio manager/host. The only graphics are a large "On Air/Stand Past" sign in the center of the screen, visual representations of the players' button assignments, and a box for name entry. If the players take too long to recollect of their names or if the players press the "render" or "enter" key without typing in their names, then the announcer will name the players. In games starting with the Netshow, on certain days, such every bit Christmas Eve, or certain times such as a Saturday night, or fifty-fifty during Twilight, the announcer will mention the time of day or the special holiday, and sometimes mumble about the game existence played at that time or on that mean solar day. There is no box for proper noun entry in the second episode of The Ride. In the PlayStation versions, subsequently the game is finished, players tin can proper noun themselves next to the score recorded. In the panel versions of You Don't Know Jack 2011, the OUYA version, and the unmarried-role player games of Y'all Don't Know Jack 2015, the players are prompted to cull their names that they typed in before starting the game. (The panel versions of You Don't Know Jack 2011 too allows players to make new names in the "Contestants" section.) If ane or more players choose the "I don't intendance" choice, the announcer or the host will tell that they refused to enter their names. Additionally in these games, the sign-in screen is famous for an Easter egg where if the role player types in the phrase "fuck you" as their name. The phrase volition be changed to a proficient name after. In You Don't Know Jack 2011 and OUYA, the announcer will tell the thespian that they have no friends or didn't apply proper English. In You Don't Know Jack 2015, the host will punish the player for typing the offending proper name. If the thespian does it one time, the host will deduct $i,000 from their score. If the histrion does it again, the host volition deduct $50,001 from their score. (The deduction is only cinematic, and does non persist to the first question of the game.) If the thespian does it three or more times, the host volition end the game with a goat, forcing the player to quit to the main menu of Jack 2015.

Nearly versions of You lot Don't Know Jack offer the selection of playing a 7- or 21-question game; some versions offer only 15 questions (the Netshow, Louder! Faster! Funnier!, fifth Dementia and Mock two), and others offer only 13 questions (The Ride), 11 questions (HeadRush, You lot Don't Know Jack 2011, iOS, OUYA, Party, You Don't Know Jack 2015 and Total Stream), or 7 questions ("The Lost Gold" and the Flash website). In a 21-question game, there is a brief intermission later the tenth question. Most questions are multiple choice, with some occasional gratuitous-entry questions, or mini-games. The Facebook version offers only 5 questions.

In its original format (Vol. ane, Sports, Vol. 2, Movies, Tv set, Vol 3, HeadRush, Offline, Louder! Faster! Funnier! and "The Lost Gilded"), earlier each question, 1 player is given a choice of three categories. Each has a humorous title that has some connection to the topic of the respective question. Later a short animated introduction, which is often followed by a sung jingle about the question number, the host asks the question. Typically, the question is multiple choice and players are given 10 seconds to select an answer. The beginning player to "buzz in" and give the correct reply wins the money for that question and gets to choose the next category. If a player answers incorrectly, they lose money, merely not before the host wisecracks almost information technology. If all players reply incorrectly, or if none of the players buzz in and answer the question before the timer runs out, the host will reveal the correct answer; not answering doesn't give any players money, the host will and so randomly choose a thespian to select another category. In The Ride, 5th Dementia, Mock 2, the website, You Don't Know Jack 2011, iOS, the Facebook version, OUYA, Party, You Don't Know Jack 2015 and Full Stream, the category is called by the host or pre-assigned to an episode. Players can however buzz and answer within 10 seconds in The Ride, 5th Dementia and Mock ii, while in You Don't Know Jack 2011, the Facebook version, OUYA, Party, Yous Don't Know Jack 2015 and Full Stream, all players answer separately within 20 seconds (more than i player can select the same reply). There are occasionally other question types offered (come across below).

In earlier versions' multi-thespian games, each role player is allowed one chance to "screw" an opponent in each half of a full (21-question) game, or once in an entire short (7-question) game. Using the "spiral" forces the opponent to give an reply to a question within 10 seconds. If the role player who is "screwed" answers correctly, they win the money while the actor who "screwed" them loses coin. This basic design has changed slightly in some versions of the game. For instance, in the teen spinoff HeadRush, the screws are replaced by pairs of false teeth, so players "bite" their opponent instead. In The Ride, the feature is known as "FlakJack" and allows a player to fire multiple screws into the screen, partially or totally obscuring the question and answers. The player then chooses an opponent, who must answer even if the question is no longer readable. In German-linguistic communication versions of the series, nails are used instead of screws.

In You Don't Know Jack 2011, OUYA, Party and You Don't Know Jack 2015, if a player uses the screw on an opponent, they merely take five seconds to answer the question. If the screwed player answers incorrectly or fails to reply before the five seconds are up, the player who used the screw takes the money from them. Information technology is possible to use the screw on yourself, just after the host tells you lot about the screw, you will notwithstanding lose the money based on the time you used it at.

In Full Stream, either 1 or two screws (depending on the total number of players in the game, not counting Audience members) could be awarded in one of 2 ways: (1) they could exist given to the player(s) who gave the fewest correct answers in Question iii, the "DisOrDat" round; and (2) to the lowest-scoring player(s) at the break before Question six, which starts Round Two. (Several factors—too numerous to proper noun hither—determined how many screws would exist awarded in each case, and players could but hold one screw at a time.) Unlike previous versions of the game, screws tin bear on all other players instead of but i (most notably if they take not still answered before the screw is activated), and they make the question more difficult to answer for the players instead of forcing them to respond within a curt amount of time. Those include removing all vowels from the answers on their devices, flipping the text of the question and the answers upside-down or backwards on their devices, making the text of the question and the answers on their devices extremely small or big, making the answers hashtagged on their devices, putting the answers on their devices into shades of gray, or billowy the answers around the screen in the style of a screensaver program. Others include forcing the players to enter a countersign, scroll through an excessively long "Terms of Service" form, or alter their screen names before being able to select an answer. After the correct respond is revealed, the role player who used the screw earns extra money.

In earlier games, different category options were worth differing amounts of money, which was revealed after a category was chosen. This amount indicated how difficult the question would be. Amounts initially varied between $ane,000, $2,000, & $three,000, and were doubled during the second round of questions. However, Vol. ane, Sports, Vol. 2 and Movies occasionally featured questions hosted past guests spawned from Fiber Optic Field Trips and Celebrity Collect Calls; these were worth $5,000 and appeared as the offset question of the second round. Later on games in the series didn't give players three randomly generated categories, simply instead gave a set number of questions in a set up guild. In The Ride, players 'buzz in' to set the amount of money the question is worth. Values could range from simply a few hundred dollars to $10,000 or more than. In 5th Dementia, the amounts of money each role player sets add up to the total corporeality. In Mock 2, the host chooses a category and sets the amount of coin to either $one,000, $2,000, or $3,000. In the website, Y'all Don't Know Jack 2011, iOS, the Facebook version, OUYA, Party and You Don't Know Jack 2015, players win money based on how long it took to answer correctly within the twenty seconds. The money is not doubled on the website or the Facebook version, but it was doubled in You Don't Know Jack 2011, iOS, OUYA, Party and Yous Don't Know Jack 2015. In Full Stream, all questions in categories the host selected are worth $ane,000 (double in Round 2).

Some of the volumes have a feature chosen "Don't Exist a Wimp", which is activated if 1 histrion has a very large lead. If no ane answers a question, the host may deride the leading role player, calling on the audience to shout "Don't be a wimp!", and forcing the leader to reply the question.

In some volumes, the host as well punishes a player who buzzes in also early; the question disappears and a text box shows upward, leaving the role player with ten seconds to type the answer.^[6] For The Ride and 5th Dementia, this is replaced by different punishments: the player is forced to selection from a list of four nonsensical answers, all of which are incorrect, or both the question and answers are scrambled. This punishment is just triggered if a player buzzes in at the very instant that the question appears on the screen. In those three instances, the thespian that buzzed in as well early on is not permitted to "screw" the other players.

In some volumes, the host removes the question so the players don't cheat; the iv possible choices are still shown.

Question types [edit]

The majority of You Don't Know Jack questions are multiple choice, with four possible choices. Some questions are backup-the-blank, requiring a typed response.

Special questions are also played during the game. Each version of You lot Don't Know Jack has its own unlike types of special questions, but some of the about common are:

• DisOrDat: This exists in all versions except Vol. 1 and Sports. Simply i player plays the DisOrDat with a 30-2nd time limit (in earlier games, this is played past the player that got the question right, in afterward games, this is played by the player with the everyman score). The thespian is given two categories and vii different subjects, and it is up to the player to make up one's mind which category the subject falls under (or, in some cases, whether the bailiwick fits both of the two categories). For example, the player might accept to determine if Jay Leno was a daytime or a night talk show host, if orecchiette is a type of pasta or a parasite, or if "Urban" is the proper name of a Pope or a Britney Spears song. Money is added for every right reply, and deducted (or stolen by the other role player(s) in the offline version of You lot Don't Know Jack 2011, Roku, OUYA, Party and You Don't Know Jack 2015) for every wrong answer, as usual; any questions not answered earlier the 30 seconds expires are treated as wrong, and penalized appropriately. In Full Stream, all players play the DisOrDat simultaneously with a 5- or 10-second fourth dimension limit for each subject.
• Gibberish Questions: These be in all versions except HeadRush, the PlayStation versions, the website, You Don't Know Jack 2011, iOS, Roku, OUYA, Party and You Don't Know Jack 2015. Players are given a mondegreen: a nonsensical phrase whose syllables rhyme with a more mutual phrase or title. For example, "Pre-empt Tires, Like Crack" could be the gibberish to The Empire Strikes Back. The question has a time limit of 30 seconds, and the showtime player to fizz in and blazon the correct answer wins the money. Clues are given as time passes, but the money decreases by v% of the initial starting value with every 1.5 seconds that elapse. The money could get unrewarded if the amount goes downward to $0. In The Ride, the money decreases steadily over the entire xxx seconds. This question is famous for an Easter egg where if the first player types in the phrase "fuck you" ("fuck off" in the British version, and "Arschloch" in the German versions) equally the answer, the host will reply annoyed and will either deduct $fifty,000 from their score or reset their score to $0 (whichever punishment is bigger), may deduct an boosted $100,000 from their score, and may change their name. If another player does it, the host will respond by chastising that thespian for a lack of originality, but will not deduct any money from their score or alter their name. If a third actor does it, the host volition declare the game to exist over and leave, automatically closing out the software. If the player presses any key while the host is talking, the host will say an extra statement regarding that the game is ending regardless of what the player does before the software closes out. This Easter egg varies in later volumes of the game. In the 5th Dementia, the host will respond by deducting $100,000 from the starting time player that typed the offending respond and replacing the histrion'southward spaceship avatar with a bare foot. If another player does it, the host will deduct $2 from that player's score. If a tertiary thespian does it, the host volition declare the game to exist over and go out, automatically closing out the software as usual. No additional dialogue from the host is provided from pressing whatever keys. Furthermore, no name alter is given to whatsoever of the players.^{[7] [8]} In "The Lost Gold", the host will reply past deducting $52,681 from the first histrion that typed the offending answer and changing the player's name to "Arschloch" (a agree-over from the German Vol. 4, where the easter egg is triggered by typing "Arschloch"). If another histrion does it, the host will deduct $92,681 from that player'south score, only will non alter their name. If a 3rd player does it, the host will declare the game to exist over and leave, merely instead of forcing the software to close out, the host will have the players to a joke mini-game chosen "Gorilla Hunter"; the role player is given six bullets, but there's zip to shoot at and the gun cannot be reloaded, forcing the players to quit the software manually through the suspension carte.^[9] In the Facebook version, the host mocks the player proverb that he can say the "nasty words" as well and proceeds to say a lot of them bleeped-out of context; no extra coin is lost other than the normal wrong answer penalty. In Total Stream, afterward the respond is revealed, the host will beam an Easter egg to the device of whatever players who entered in "fuck you lot" which explains the history of the Easter egg to them, with the host bold they entered information technology in only for the Easter egg, and like in the Facebook version, no extra money is lost.
• Anagram Questions: These simply exist in 5th Dementia and "The Lost Gold", and follow the aforementioned rules as the Gibberish Questions; however, instead of trying to figure out a rhyme, players must rearrange the letters given into a saying, proper noun, or other group (as in the famous example of "genuine class" beingness an anagram of "Alec Guinness"). Unlike in other question types requiring a typed-in reply, the respond to an Anagram Question must be spelled exactly correct to win the money. This type of question also appears in the Facebook version, but instead of existence text-based, it is multiple selection.
• HeadButt: Only existing in HeadRush, these also follow the rules of the Gibberish Questions. Players are given a word equation (for example, "color of pickles + opposite of night") and have to put it together to course a name or other grouping (in this case, the colour of pickles is "Green", and the opposite of night is "24-hour interval", so the answer would be "Greenish Day").
• Cobweb Optic Field Trips: These only exist in Vol. i, Sports, Vol. 2, and Movies, and merely appear in total (21-question) games. The host calls a random person from out of the phonebook and asks them to come up with a trivia question. Fiber Optic Field Trips are initiated during the first half of the game, and the trivia question hosted by the special guest is the first question of the second half. All categories for this question type are worth $5,000.
• Celebrity Collect Calls: These simply exist in Vol. 2 and follow the same bones format as the Fiber Optic Field Trips. The host calls a celebrity and asks them to come up with a trivia question. Celebrities include Tim Allen, Florence Henderson, and Vanessa L. Williams. Sometimes, the conversation between the host and the glory lasts a very long time.
• Pub Quizzes: These replace the Fiber Optic Field Trips and Glory Collect Calls in the British version of the game. Instead of calling a random person in a city, the host calls a bartender in a random pub inside the Uk to give the players a question.
• Trash Talkin' with Milan: Only existing in HeadRush, "Milan the Janitor" (voiced past Igor Gasowski) hosts a standard multiple choice question virtually grammar.
• Problems Out: This just exists in fifth Dementia. The goal is uncomplicated: Bugs volition crawl and display a choice. When you come across a choice that does non match the clue, fizz in. In a multiplayer match, if you lot are right, your opponents pay you money, but if you are wrong, yous pay your opponents.
• Fill in the Blank: Instead of having four answers to choose from, you accept to blazon the answer out.
• Sequel Question: Some questions have questions that refer to them and are guaranteed to appear immediately later on them. When this happens, all three selectable categories will refer to the Sequel Question. In The Ride, 5th Dementia, Mock 2, the website, You lot Don't Know Jack 2011, iOS, OUYA, Party and Y'all Don't Know Jack 2015, all questions are arranged into 'episodes' whose questions always announced in the same order. This allows for a question to refer to any previous question, and for running jokes to be made. In You Don't Know Jack 2011, as the question sets are set into episodes, in that location will be questions that are 20 or 30 questions later the first. ('A Harp out of Harp' related to Cookie's party episode.) In Full Stream, in that location are too Sequel Questions, nigh notably in a series of questions with a "Special Guest" (run across Guest Host Question below). Additionally, in Full Stream, certain series of questions can also trigger a specific post-game event, similar with the question "This Question Is Calculator Generated", which is followed past Nate Shapiro hosting an episode of Truth Talk 23/7 after the game.
• Pissed About A Question: A special kind of Sequel Question. This just exists in both Offline volumes. Jellyvision creates new questions nearly angry letters they have received from irritated players. Each of these questions is based upon a letter from a viewer who complained about the previous question.
• RoadKill/Coinkydink: This merely exists in The Ride (as RoadKill) and Mock 2 (as Coinkydink). In this fast-paced question blazon, players are given two clues (for example, "Sexy vocalization" and "Hefty kid"). Several words fly past in rapid succession, and the players must fizz in when the word on the screen connects the two clues in a pair (in this example, the reply is "husky"). At the finish of the question, players can earn a bonus for choosing the category which all the correct answers have in common.
• Jack BINGO: This merely exists in The Ride. A five-letter word related to the episode'due south theme is first given (for example, W-I-Thousand-P-S in an episode about gym course). A clue to an answer is provided, later on which the letters in the given word are randomly lit. The players must buzz in when the beginning letter to the inkling'due south respond is lit. (In the example, the clue may exist "SNL's Doug and Wendy ______"; the player rings in when the "W" is lit for the word "Whiner.") $500 and that answer's letter is given to the first actor who is correct, and the next clue is given; a $500 penalty is received for wrongly timed responses. The first to collect enough answers to spell out the given word wins the prize declared earlier the start of this mini-round; it tin become unrewarded if nobody finishes the word after a set number of clues.
• ThreeWay: This only exists in Vol. 3 and the first PlayStation version. Players are given three words that have something in mutual (for example, solid, liquid, and gas) and several clues that just relate to one of the words (for case, "______ Plumr"). Players must match the clues to the proper words. The possible answers flash up on the screen, and the players must fizz in when the correct answer appears (in this case, "liquid").
• Wendithap'northward: This exists in Louder! Faster! Funnier!, Mock 2 and "The Lost Gilded" and its German version You Don't Know Jack Vol. 4 (equally Wann War Was?) and follows the same rules as the ThreeWay. The player is given an event (either in popular culture history, or in sequence order) and must make up one's mind if several other events occurred before information technology, after it, or never occurred at all.
• Invitee Host Question: Someone else hosts the question, and it appears in Vol. 3 and The Ride. In Full Stream, this question is known equally a "Special Guest" Question with Jimmy Fallon (which bleeds over into the rest of that particular game).
• Incommunicable Questions: Merely existing in Vol. 3 and the start PlayStation version, Impossible Questions are worth very big amounts of money, but as the proper noun implies, they are almost always very, very difficult. Examples of Impossible Questions include what color optics the bald guy has on the box of Yous Don't Know Jack Sports, the number of years betwixt the invention of the can and that of the beginning practical tin can opener within a two-twelvemonth range (high or depression), what number betwixt i and ix the host is thinking of, or what the tertiary give-and-take is in the 3rd scene in the third act of Richard III. They tin be either multiple pick or backup-the-bare. In a example of double-bluffing, one question, 'What has four legs, a tail, and barks?', has the category 'It's a Domestic dog!' and the answer 'a domestic dog'.^[ten] "The Lost Gilded" has a variation of this question likewise, not formally named and consisting of Pirate-themed questions such as "What was the name of Blackbeard's Parrot?" This was connected to the game'southward plot - as explained in the game's introduction, a pirate has been cursed to haunt the game until its players accrue enough 'haul'. The pirate has thus secretly bundled the pirate-themed questions, which he believes are still common knowledge, in an attempt to speed up the process, not realizing how obscure and archaic his knowledge has go.
• Super Audio Question: A sound will play, and the host will ask you a question about information technology.
• Whatshisname Question: In this question, the host is trying to remember a certain proper name of a person, place, or other grouping. A clue is provided every few seconds, and the actor must buzz in and type the name to win the money. This question is known in HeadRush every bit Former Human being's Moldy Memories and in You Don't Know Jack 2015 as Foggy Facts with Former Human being which both feature the graphic symbol of "Onetime Man" (voiced by Andy Poland) in which he hosts the question.
• Picture Question: This is like to the Super Audio Question, just based on a picture rather than a sound.
• Who's The Dummy?: This exists in You lot Don't Know Jack 2011, iOS, the Facebook version, OUYA, Party and You Don't Know Jack 2015. The host has taken up ventriloquism, and asks a trivia question by way of his ventriloquist dummy, Baton O'Brien (or his sis Betty O'Brien). As the host explains, he has difficulty pronouncing consonant sounds such as B'southward, P's, and K'southward (which get D's, T's, and North's, respectively, and are translated as such in the text of the question and the answer choices), which adds a small layer of difficulty to the question. The dummy also hosts one question in Full Stream.
• Cookie's Fortune Cookie Fortunes (with Cookie "Fortune Cookie" Masterson): This exists in Y'all Don't Know Jack 2011, iOS, the Facebook version, OUYA, Party and You Don't Know Jack 2015. This mini-round appears randomly and includes trivia questions inspired by platitude fortune cookie messages that Cookie Masterson receives. For case, the fortune "You take a magnetic personality." leads to a question regarding which metal-based fictional character might be most attracted to him.
• Funky Trash: This exists in Yous Don't Know Jack 2011, iOS, the Facebook version, OUYA, Party and Y'all Don't Know Jack 2015. The host roots through the trash of a famous person, and the players must identify that person by his or her trash. For example, a World State of war I ambulance driver'southward license, cigar butts from Republic of cuba, and a can of ointment for 6-toed cats would be clues to Ernest Hemingway.
• It's The Put The Choices Into Lodge So Buzz In And See If You lot Are Right... Question: This exists in You lot Don't Know Jack 2011, iOS, the Facebook version, OUYA, Party and You Don't Know Jack 2015. The host gives iii or four items and the player has to buzz in to the corresponding right reply. The question is multiple choice, significant that, technically, the player does not have to put the answers into the right society themselves but rather but pick the right order out of the four possibilities. For example, the player might have to decide the lodge in which the St. Louis Arch, the McDonald's Aureate Arches, and the Archie comic book series debuted. Answering correctly awards the player an extra $1,000, however, the actress money is not lost if a role player is wrong.
• Nocturnal Admissions (with Cookie Masterson): Only existing in You Don't Know Jack 2011, Cookie Masterson tells the player almost a dream he had, which is based on a movie. The player then has to tell which movie that dream was about. The characters of the movie are replaced past Cookie himself, his cats and his female parent, which often makes it difficult to figure out the right i. For case, Cookie tells of a dream in which he transferred his mind into a faux cat body so he could learn the civilisation of his two cats. He does this to help with his female parent's enquiry, merely falls into love with the cat world and is therefore attacked by his mother'south troops. The correct answer to this dream would be James Cameron's Avatar.
• Wrong Answer of the Game: Not a question in and of itself, the Incorrect Answer of the Game appears in You Don't Know Jack 2011, OUYA, Party and You Don't Know Jack 2015. Earlier the beginning of the game, Schmitty announces a satirical sponsor for the episode (like to The Ride). If a histrion manages to buzz in with the wrong answer associated with the sponsor, they win $4,000 (double in Round 2) and a 'prize' from the sponsor, instead of losing money. For instance, in the episode sponsored by 'BloodCo.', answering with the incorrect answer 'Dracula' awards money and a bucket of human claret.
• Elephant, Mustard, Teddy Roosevelt or Dracula? / Kangaroo, Peanut, Albert Einstein or Uranus? / Octopus, Coffee, Queen Elizabeth or Frankenstein?: Starting time appeared in the iOS and Facebook versions, questions in this category ever have the same four answer choices: Elephant, Mustard, Teddy Roosevelt and Dracula. The question is posed in definition form, such equally "Could be considered a Bull Moose". The player must make up one's mind, of the four answer choices, which one fits the definition. In this case, the answer is Teddy Roosevelt; he ran for president in 1912 as the Progressive Party's candidate, and his party was nicknamed the Bull Moose Party. The concept is the same in You Don't Know Jack 2015 with Kangaroo, Peanut, Albert Einstein, and Uranus, and in Full Stream with Octopus, Coffee, Queen Elizabeth, and Frankenstein, which could be either the monster or the Doc (and is specified in the question'south blitheness).
• Data Mining: This only exists in Full Stream. A choice of a well-known personality's search history, in the grade of queries or statements, are read to the players, who then take to choose the right person the searches came from. For example, the searches "Directions to get around that rails", "Is 'I own't no' grammatically correct?", and "Why exercise these bananas taste like [REDACTED]?" would belong to Gwen Stefani (referencing lyrics from her song Hollaback Girl). Data Mining is a spiritual successor to Funky Trash.
• Thespian's Option: This only exists in Total Stream. At a moment of the game, the Binjpipe host asks players, including the audience, to vote between two question categories. The question with the highest percent of the votes is the question that will be asked. (In case of a 50%/50% tie, the Binjpipe host chooses between the 2, presumably at random.) Examples of choices include: "An easy question" or "A hard question", and "A question with airhorns" or "A question ABOUT airhorns".
• Binjpipe Recommends: This only exists in Full Stream. A question is based on the genre, subject(s) or rating of a movie or TV evidence that is recommended by Binjpipe, presumably influenced by your prior "viewing choices" or net enquiry as referred to in the question.

Jack Attack [edit]

The terminal circular of the game, called the Jack Attack in about versions and also known as the HeadRush in HeadRush, is a discussion association question. The category for this last round—which generally describes the desired correct answers—was determined differently, depending on which version of the game is being played. In earlier versions of the game, this was based on the final selected category; in subsequently versions, the category is selected past the game or pre-assigned to an episode.

In nigh versions of the game, a word, phrase, or name appears in the middle of the screen, to which the histrion must find an associated word or phrase that fits the overall category. For example, Star Wars might be the associated give-and-take, and the right answer plumbing equipment "movie stars" could be Harrison Ford. Other possibilities offered might include actors not in that film, or other objects or concepts related to the film but which are non stars of the flick. For each associated subject area, several potential matches announced on screen one-at-a-fourth dimension for only a few seconds each earlier disappearing, and only one is correct. The topics and/or potential answers are sometimes humorous.

Players win money if they buzz in when the correct friction match is displayed on the screen. An wrong guess deducts money from the actor's score—not simply in one case, but every time the actor buzzes in incorrectly (it is possible to fizz in incorrectly multiple times while the same incorrect respond is shown). The coin earned or lost was $2,000 in most You Don't Know Jack volumes, $v,000 in HeadRush, an amount set up by the players in The Ride and 5th Dementia, $iv,000 in You Don't Know Jack 2011, iOS and Roku, $1,000 in the Facebook version, and $100, $500, or $1,000 in Full Stream depending on how long it takes the player to press the respond. Multiple players play simultaneously, playing to the same words. The words that are not matched will be cycled back in one time all seven subjects take been attempted.

Jack Attack ends after either all seven subjects are either (a) matched with the right respond, or (b) attempted twice (some subjects are attempted three times). The exceptions are in some episodes of Y'all Don't Know Jack 2011 and iOS, and all episodes of the Facebook version and Yous Don't Know Jack 2015, where all 7 subjects are simply shown once.

In Total Stream, only six subjects are given per "Assail". In each case, the aforementioned clue and discipline in the center of the screen are presented to the players, with six associated words—added two at a time—can all exist available at once, and more than than one answer can be correct. Players earn coin for right choices and lose money for incorrect choices. So the players choose their answers, the less money is earned or lost per choice (either $ane,000, $500, or $100). And since each player answers separately on their device, all players can score—either positively or negatively—on all the answers, but but one time per selected answer.

In all versions of the game, the running full of each player's score is not shown anywhere on the screen during Jack Assault, and this part of the game is usually accompanied past ominous music or ambient sounds. This creates tension between players because of the incertitude of ranking, and the unsettling atmosphere.

Game show theme [edit]

Throughout the Y'all Don't Know Jack franchise, there has been a running theme of Y'all Don't Know Jack taking place on a cocky-titled televised game show where the players are the contestants.

In Full Stream, instead of the game taking place on a traditional circulate TV game show, the game becomes a show hosted on a fictional streaming service called Binjpipe.

They besides featured phony news stories about everyday things. Examples: "Oxygen: Gas of Life? or Secret Military Death-Vapor?" or "People are falling unconscious for 8 hours every night. What is the 'sleeping affliction'? Do you take it? Detect out this night."

Most You Don't Know Jack games characteristic recurring characters like "Chocky the Chipmunk", a breakfast cereal mascot with the catchphrase "Pink and tartie!" or "Xenora: Queen of Boxing", a parody of Xena, Warrior Princess that gets involved in overtly erotic situations. Others are "The Movie Ending Telephone", "one-800-me4-sale", "Cancer Stick tobacco lip balm", "Momma's Pride Human being Breast Milk", "Buster'due south Bait Store" and parodies of public service announcements from the fictional "The states Section of Condescending Paternalism".

The first CD-ROM for The Ride features a CD of a selection of these commercials from the previous games in the series. The disc was titled Yous Don't Hear Jack and has since been released every bit a dissever product on CD. A 2d disc titled You Don't Hear Jack two was too released featuring commercials from newer versions of Yous Don't Know Jack. Both are available for digital download.

In Full Stream, commercials for Binjpipe are heard during the sign-in screen while players join in the game. In the post-game, radio shows are heard instead of commercials.
