You Don't Know Jack is a series of video games developed by Jackbox Games (formerly known as Jellyvision Games^[1]) and Berkeley Systems, as well every bit the title of the first You Don't Know Jack game in the series. You Don't Know Jack, framed as a game prove "where loftier culture and pop culture collide", combines trivia with comedy. While it is primarily a PC and Mac-based franchise with over two dozen releases and compilations for those platforms, there accept 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^[2] with cross-platform versions subsequently released for iOS,^[3] Android^[4] and Kindle. On November 5, 2013, the majority of the franchise's many volumes and spinoffs were reissued onto Steam^[5] by Jackbox Games.

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

History [edit]

In 1991, Jellyvision's former identity, Learn Television, released the honour-winning picture show The Heed's Treasure Chest, which featured atomic number 82 grapheme Jack Patterson. When Learn Television sought to use new multimedia technologies to create a more active learning feel, the company teamed up with Follett Software Company and developed "That'due south a Fact, Jack!", a reading motivation CD-ROM game show series covering young developed fiction, targeted to 3rd through 10th graders. The game would give a title for a child to read, so inquire questions related to that title.

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

Gameplay [edit]

Almost versions of the game can be played by up to three players. The game can be played past only one histrion on the website and the iOS app. The game can be played by up to four players on the tabletop version, Yous Don't Know Jack 2011 (except for the PC and Nintendo DS versions, which are limited to two players), the OUYA version, Party and the game in The Jackbox Political party Pack titled You Don't Know Jack 2015. The Full Stream edition in The Jackbox Political party Pack 5 tin accommodate up to 8 players plus upwardly to 10,000 boosted "Audition" members. All versions of the game characteristic 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 dark-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 just graphics are a large "On Air/Stand up By" sign in the centre of the screen, visual representations of the players' push assignments, and a box for name entry. If the players take too long to recollect of their names or if the players printing the "return" or "enter" key without typing in their names, and then the announcer volition name the players. In games starting with the Netshow, on certain days, such as Christmas Eve, or certain times such as a Saturday night, or even during Twilight, the announcer volition mention the time of day or the special holiday, and sometimes grumble well-nigh the game beingness played at that time or on that day. There is no box for name entry in the second episode of The Ride. In the PlayStation versions, subsequently the game is finished, players tin can proper name themselves next to the score recorded. In the console versions of You Don't Know Jack 2011, the OUYA version, and the unmarried-player games of You Don't Know Jack 2015, the players are prompted to choose their names that they typed in before starting the game. (The panel versions of You Don't Know Jack 2011 besides allows players to make new names in the "Contestants" department.) If ane or more players choose the "I don't care" option, the announcer or the host volition 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 thespian types in the phrase "fuck yous" every bit their name. The phrase will be changed to a good name afterwards. In Y'all Don't Know Jack 2011 and OUYA, the announcer will tell the player that they have no friends or didn't use proper English. In You Don't Know Jack 2015, the host will punish the player for typing the offending name. If the thespian does information technology once, the host will deduct $1,000 from their score. If the player does it again, the host will deduct $50,001 from their score. (The deduction is only cinematic, and does non persist to the get-go question of the game.) If the player does it three or more than times, the host will terminate the game with a goat, forcing the player to quit to the main carte of Jack 2015.

Most versions of You lot Don't Know Jack offer the choice of playing a 7- or 21-question game; some versions offer only 15 questions (the Netshow, Louder! Faster! Funnier!, 5th Dementia and Mock 2), and others offering only xiii questions (The Ride), 11 questions (HeadRush, You lot Don't Know Jack 2011, iOS, OUYA, Party, You Don't Know Jack 2015 and Full Stream), or 7 questions ("The Lost Aureate" and the Flash website). In a 21-question game, there is a brief pause later on the tenth question. About questions are multiple selection, with some occasional free-entry questions, or mini-games. The Facebook version offers only 5 questions.

In its original format (Vol. one, Sports, Vol. 2, Movies, Tv, Vol 3, HeadRush, Offline, Louder! Faster! Funnier! and "The Lost Gold"), before each question, one player is given a selection of three categories. Each has a humorous championship that has some connexion to the topic of the corresponding question. Afterwards a short animated introduction, which is ofttimes followed by a sung jingle well-nigh the question number, the host asks the question. Typically, the question is multiple choice and players are given 10 seconds to select an respond. The first player to "buzz in" and give the right answer wins the money for that question and gets to choose the next category. If a role player answers incorrectly, they lose coin, but not before the host wisecracks about it. If all players answer incorrectly, or if none of the players buzz in and answer the question earlier the timer runs out, the host will reveal the correct answer; not answering doesn't give any players coin, the host volition and so randomly choose a thespian to select some other 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 chosen by the host or pre-assigned to an episode. Players tin still fizz and answer within ten seconds in The Ride, fifth Dementia and Mock 2, while in You Don't Know Jack 2011, the Facebook version, OUYA, Party, You Don't Know Jack 2015 and Full Stream, all players answer separately within 20 seconds (more i player tin can select the same respond). At that place are occasionally other question types offered (see below).

In before versions' multi-actor games, each player is allowed one take a chance to "screw" an opponent in each one-half of a full (21-question) game, or once in an entire brusque (7-question) game. Using the "spiral" forces the opponent to give an answer to a question within 10 seconds. If the player who is "screwed" answers correctly, they win the money while the actor who "screwed" them loses coin. This bones blueprint has changed slightly in some versions of the game. For case, in the teen spinoff HeadRush, the screws are replaced by pairs of false teeth, and then 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 fifty-fifty if the question is no longer readable. In German-language versions of the serial, nails are used instead of screws.

In You Don't Know Jack 2011, OUYA, Party and Yous Don't Know Jack 2015, if a thespian uses the spiral on an opponent, they but take v seconds to answer the question. If the screwed player answers incorrectly or fails to reply before the 5 seconds are up, the player who used the screw takes the money from them. It is possible to use the screw on yourself, but after the host tells you about the screw, you lot volition still lose the money based on the time y'all used it at.

In Full Stream, either one or two screws (depending on the total number of players in the game, not counting Audience members) could be awarded in one of two ways: (ane) they could be given to the actor(due south) who gave the fewest correct answers in Question 3, the "DisOrDat" round; and (2) to the lowest-scoring actor(s) at the intermission before Question 6, which starts Round Two. (Several factors—also numerous to name here—determined how many screws would exist awarded in each example, and players could but hold one screw at a fourth dimension.) Unlike previous versions of the game, screws can affect all other players instead of just one (about notably if they have not nevertheless answered before the screw is activated), and they make the question more hard to answer for the players instead of forcing them to answer inside a short 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 minor or large, making the answers hashtagged on their devices, putting the answers on their devices into shades of greyness, or bouncing the answers around the screen in the style of a screensaver program. Others include forcing the players to enter a password, scroll through an excessively long "Terms of Service" form, or change their screen names earlier being able to select an answer. Subsequently the correct reply is revealed, the player who used the screw earns extra coin.

In earlier games, dissimilar category options were worth differing amounts of money, which was revealed afterward a category was called. This corporeality indicated how difficult the question would be. Amounts initially varied betwixt $1,000, $2,000, & $iii,000, and were doubled during the 2d circular of questions. However, Vol. one, Sports, Vol. two and Movies occasionally featured questions hosted by guests spawned from Fiber Optic Field Trips and Glory Collect Calls; these were worth $5,000 and appeared as the first question of the second round. Later games in the series didn't give players iii randomly generated categories, but instead gave a set number of questions in a set up order. In The Ride, players 'buzz in' to set up the amount of money the question is worth. Values could range from only a few hundred dollars to $10,000 or more. In 5th Dementia, the amounts of coin each player sets add together upward to the full amount. In Mock ii, the host chooses a category and sets the corporeality of money to either $1,000, $2,000, or $iii,000. In the website, You 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 xx seconds. The coin is not doubled on the website or the Facebook version, only it was doubled in Yous Don't Know Jack 2011, iOS, OUYA, Party and Y'all Don't Know Jack 2015. In Full Stream, all questions in categories the host selected are worth $i,000 (double in Round 2).

Some of the volumes take a feature called "Don't Be a Wimp", which is activated if i role player has a very big lead. If no one answers a question, the host may deride the leading thespian, calling on the audience to shout "Don't be a wimp!", and forcing the leader to answer the question.

In some volumes, the host too punishes a player who buzzes in too early; the question disappears and a text box shows upwardly, leaving the player with 10 seconds to type the answer.^[6] For The Ride and 5th Dementia, this is replaced by different punishments: the thespian is forced to option from a list of 4 nonsensical answers, all of which are wrong, or both the question and answers are scrambled. This punishment is only triggered if a player buzzes in at the very instant that the question appears on the screen. In those three instances, the actor that buzzed in likewise early is non permitted to "screw" the other players.

In some volumes, the host removes the question so the players don't cheat; the 4 possible choices are still shown.

Question types [edit]

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

Special questions are besides played during the game. Each version of You Don't Know Jack has its own different types of special questions, but some of the most common are:

• DisOrDat: This exists in all versions except Vol. 1 and Sports. Only ane actor plays the DisOrDat with a xxx-second time limit (in earlier games, this is played by the role player that got the question correct, in subsequently games, this is played by the player with the everyman score). The player is given two categories and seven different subjects, and it is up to the player to determine which category the subject area falls under (or, in some cases, whether the subject fits both of the two categories). For instance, the thespian might have to determine if Jay Leno was a daytime or a nighttime talk show host, if orecchiette is a blazon of pasta or a parasite, or if "Urban" is the name of a Pope or a Britney Spears song. Money is added for every correct reply, and deducted (or stolen by the other player(south) in the offline version of You lot Don't Know Jack 2011, Roku, OUYA, Party and You Don't Know Jack 2015) for every incorrect respond, as usual; any questions not answered before the 30 seconds expires are treated equally wrong, and penalized appropriately. In Full Stream, all players play the DisOrDat simultaneously with a 5- or 10-2nd 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 Yous 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 exist the gibberish to The Empire Strikes Back. The question has a time limit of 30 seconds, and the commencement histrion to buzz in and type the right answer wins the coin. Clues are given as fourth dimension passes, but the money decreases by 5% of the initial starting value with every 1.five seconds that elapse. The coin could get unrewarded if the amount goes down to $0. In The Ride, the money decreases steadily over the entire 30 seconds. This question is famous for an Easter egg where if the showtime role player types in the phrase "fuck yous" ("fuck off" in the British version, and "Arschloch" in the German versions) as the reply, the host will respond bellyaching and volition either deduct $l,000 from their score or reset their score to $0 (whichever punishment is bigger), may deduct an additional $100,000 from their score, and may change their name. If another player does it, the host will respond past chastising that player for a lack of originality, but will not deduct whatever money from their score or modify their proper name. If a third player does it, the host will declare the game to be over and leave, automatically closing out the software. If the role 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 fifth Dementia, the host will respond past deducting $100,000 from the first player that typed the offending answer and replacing the actor's spaceship avatar with a bare foot. If some other role player does it, the host will deduct $2 from that player's score. If a tertiary player does information technology, the host will declare the game to be over and leave, automatically closing out the software as usual. No additional dialogue from the host is provided from pressing any keys. Furthermore, no name alter is given to any of the players.^{[7] [8]} In "The Lost Gold", the host will respond past deducting $52,681 from the first player that typed the offending answer and changing the role player's name to "Arschloch" (a hold-over from the German Vol. 4, where the easter egg is triggered by typing "Arschloch"). If another player does it, the host volition deduct $92,681 from that player's score, merely will not modify their proper noun. If a 3rd player does information technology, the host volition declare the game to be over and leave, but instead of forcing the software to close out, the host volition take the players to a joke mini-game chosen "Gorilla Hunter"; the histrion is given vi bullets, but at that place's nada to shoot at and the gun cannot be reloaded, forcing the players to quit the software manually through the pause carte.^[nine] In the Facebook version, the host mocks the thespian proverb that he can say the "nasty words" as well and proceeds to say a lot of them bleeped-out of context; no extra money is lost other than the normal wrong answer penalisation. In Total Stream, after the answer is revealed, the host will beam an Easter egg to the device of any players who entered in "fuck you" which explains the history of the Easter egg to them, with the host assuming they entered information technology in simply for the Easter egg, and like in the Facebook version, no extra coin is lost.
• Anagram Questions: These only exist in 5th Dementia and "The Lost Aureate", and follow the same rules as the Gibberish Questions; nonetheless, instead of trying to figure out a rhyme, players must rearrange the letters given into a proverb, proper name, or other grouping (as in the famous example of "genuine course" beingness an anagram of "Alec Guinness"). Unlike in other question types requiring a typed-in answer, the answer to an Anagram Question must exist spelled exactly correct to win the coin. This type of question also appears in the Facebook version, but instead of being text-based, it is multiple choice.
• HeadButt: Only existing in HeadRush, these also follow the rules of the Gibberish Questions. Players are given a word equation (for example, "colour of pickles + opposite of night") and have to put it together to course a proper noun or other grouping (in this case, the color of pickles is "Greenish", and the opposite of night is "Day", then the answer would exist "Green Day").
• Fiber Optic Field Trips: These simply exist in Vol. 1, Sports, Vol. ii, and Movies, and simply announced in full (21-question) games. The host calls a random person from out of the phonebook and asks them to come up upwardly with a trivia question. Cobweb Optic Field Trips are initiated during the starting time 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 only exist in Vol. two and follow the same bones format equally 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 50. Williams. Sometimes, the conversation between the host and the celebrity lasts a very long time.
• Pub Quizzes: These replace the Fiber Optic Field Trips and Celebrity 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 within the UK to give the players a question.
• Trash Talkin' with Milan: Only existing in HeadRush, "Milan the Janitor" (voiced by Igor Gasowski) hosts a standard multiple choice question well-nigh grammar.
• Bug Out: This simply exists in 5th Dementia. The goal is simple: Bugs will crawl and brandish a selection. When you see a pick that does not lucifer the clue, buzz in. In a multiplayer match, if you are right, your opponents pay you money, but if yous are wrong, y'all pay your opponents.
• Fill in the Blank: Instead of having iv answers to choose from, yous have to blazon the answer out.
• Sequel Question: Some questions have questions that refer to them and are guaranteed to appear immediately afterwards them. When this happens, all three selectable categories will refer to the Sequel Question. In The Ride, 5th Dementia, Mock 2, the website, Y'all Don't Know Jack 2011, iOS, OUYA, Party and Yous Don't Know Jack 2015, all questions are bundled into 'episodes' whose questions always appear in the same order. This allows for a question to refer to any previous question, and for running jokes to be fabricated. 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 xxx questions after the first. ('A Harp out of Harp' related to Cookie'due south party episode.) In Full Stream, there are also Sequel Questions, nigh notably in a series of questions with a "Special Guest" (run into Guest Host Question below). Additionally, in Full Stream, certain series of questions can as well trigger a specific post-game event, like with the question "This Question Is Calculator Generated", which is followed by Nate Shapiro hosting an episode of Truth Talk 23/7 after the game.
• Pissed Virtually A Question: A special kind of Sequel Question. This only exists in both Offline volumes. Jellyvision creates new questions about aroused letters they take received from irritated players. Each of these questions is based upon a letter of the alphabet from a viewer who complained about the previous question.
• RoadKill/Coinkydink: This only exists in The Ride (every bit RoadKill) and Mock two (as Coinkydink). In this fast-paced question blazon, players are given two clues (for example, "Sexy voice" and "Hefty kid"). Several words wing past in rapid succession, and the players must buzz in when the word on the screen connects the two clues in a pair (in this case, the answer is "husky"). At the end of the question, players can earn a bonus for choosing the category which all the right answers have in common.
• Jack BINGO: This only exists in The Ride. A five-letter word related to the episode's theme is showtime given (for example, W-I-Grand-P-Southward in an episode almost gym course). A clue to an reply is provided, after which the letters in the given word are randomly lit. The players must buzz in when the first letter to the inkling'south answer is lit. (In the case, the clue may exist "SNL'south Doug and Wendy ______"; the histrion rings in when the "W" is lit for the word "Whiner.") $500 and that answer's letter is given to the offset role player who is correct, and the side by side clue is given; a $500 penalty is received for wrongly timed responses. The starting time to collect plenty answers to spell out the given word wins the prize alleged before the start of this mini-round; it can go unrewarded if nobody finishes the word afterward a gear up number of clues.
• ThreeWay: This merely exists in Vol. 3 and the commencement PlayStation version. Players are given three words that have something in common (for example, solid, liquid, and gas) and several clues that only relate to one of the words (for example, "______ Plumr"). Players must match the clues to the proper words. The possible answers flash up on the screen, and the players must buzz in when the correct respond appears (in this case, "liquid").
• Wendithap'n: This exists in Louder! Faster! Funnier!, Mock 2 and "The Lost Gold" and its German version Yous Don't Know Jack Vol. 4 (as Wann War Was?) and follows the same rules as the ThreeWay. The thespian is given an consequence (either in popular civilisation history, or in sequence society) and must decide if several other events occurred earlier it, later it, or never occurred at all.
• Guest Host Question: Someone else hosts the question, and it appears in Vol. iii and The Ride. In Full Stream, this question is known as a "Special Guest" Question with Jimmy Fallon (which bleeds over into the residue of that particular game).
• Impossible Questions: Just existing in Vol. iii and the first PlayStation version, Impossible Questions are worth very large amounts of money, merely every bit the name implies, they are almost always very, very hard. Examples of Incommunicable Questions include what color eyes the baldheaded guy has on the box of You Don't Know Jack Sports, the number of years between the invention of the can and that of the first practical can opener within a two-year range (high or low), what number between 1 and 9 the host is thinking of, or what the third word is in the third scene in the tertiary act of Richard Three. They tin can be either multiple selection or fill-in-the-blank. In a case of double-bluffing, one question, 'What has 4 legs, a tail, and barks?', has the category 'Information technology's a Canis familiaris!' and the reply 'a dog'.^[10] "The Lost Gold" has a variation of this question as well, not formally named and consisting of Pirate-themed questions such every bit "What was the name of Blackbeard'southward Parrot?" This was connected to the game'due south plot - every bit explained in the game'due south introduction, a pirate has been cursed to haunt the game until its players accrue enough 'booty'. The pirate has thus secretly arranged the pirate-themed questions, which he believes are all the same mutual knowledge, in an attempt to speed upward the procedure, not realizing how obscure and archaic his knowledge has get.
• Super Audio Question: A sound will play, and the host will ask you a question about it.
• Whatshisname Question: In this question, the host is trying to call up a certain name of a person, identify, or other group. A clue is provided every few seconds, and the player must buzz in and type the name to win the money. This question is known in HeadRush every bit Quondam Man's Moldy Memories and in Yous Don't Know Jack 2015 every bit Foggy Facts with Onetime Man which both feature the character of "Quondam Homo" (voiced by Andy Poland) in which he hosts the question.
• Picture Question: This is similar to the Super Audio Question, but based on a picture rather than a sound.
• Who's The Dummy?: This exists in You Don't Know Jack 2011, iOS, the Facebook version, OUYA, Political party and You Don't Know Jack 2015. The host has taken up ventriloquism, and asks a trivia question by style of his ventriloquist dummy, Billy O'Brien (or his sister Betty O'Brien). As the host explains, he has difficulty pronouncing consonant sounds such every bit B's, P'due south, and M's (which become D's, T'southward, and N'south, respectively, and are translated every bit such in the text of the question and the answer choices), which adds a modest layer of difficulty to the question. The dummy too hosts one question in Full Stream.
• Cookie's Fortune Cookie Fortunes (with Cookie "Fortune Cookie" Masterson): This exists in You Don't Know Jack 2011, iOS, the Facebook version, OUYA, Political party and You Don't Know Jack 2015. This mini-round appears randomly and includes trivia questions inspired by cliche fortune cookie messages that Cookie Masterson receives. For case, the fortune "You lot have a magnetic personality." leads to a question regarding which metallic-based fictional character might be most attracted to him.
• Funky Trash: This exists in You Don't Know Jack 2011, iOS, the Facebook version, OUYA, Party and You 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 instance, a Earth State of war I ambulance driver'south license, cigar butts from Cuba, and a tin can of ointment for half dozen-toed cats would be clues to Ernest Hemingway.
• It's The Put The Choices Into Order Then Buzz In And See If Y'all Are Right... Question: This exists in You Don't Know Jack 2011, iOS, the Facebook version, OUYA, Party and You Don't Know Jack 2015. The host gives iii or iv items and the histrion has to buzz in to the respective correct answer. The question is multiple selection, meaning that, technically, the player does not have to put the answers into the right order themselves simply rather merely choice the right order out of the four possibilities. For instance, the actor might have to determine the order in which the St. Louis Arch, the McDonald's Golden Arches, and the Archie comic book series debuted. Answering correctly awards the player an extra $i,000, however, the extra money is not lost if a player is wrong.
• Nocturnal Admissions (with Cookie Masterson): Simply existing in Yous Don't Know Jack 2011, Cookie Masterson tells the player about a dream he had, which is based on a motion-picture show. The player then has to tell which movie that dream was about. The characters of the movie are replaced by Cookie himself, his cats and his mother, which often makes it hard to figure out the correct one. For instance, Cookie tells of a dream in which he transferred his mind into a fake true cat body and then he could learn the culture of his 2 cats. He does this to assistance with his mother's enquiry, only falls into honey with the cat world and is therefore attacked past his mother'south troops. The right answer to this dream would be James Cameron's Avatar.
• Wrong Answer of the Game: Not a question in and of itself, the Wrong Answer of the Game appears in You lot Don't Know Jack 2011, OUYA, Party and You Don't Know Jack 2015. Before the beginning of the game, Schmitty announces a satirical sponsor for the episode (similar to The Ride). If a thespian manages to buzz in with the wrong answer associated with the sponsor, they win $4,000 (double in Round two) and a 'prize' from the sponsor, instead of losing money. For case, in the episode sponsored by 'BloodCo.', answering with the incorrect answer 'Dracula' awards money and a bucket of man blood.
• 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 aforementioned four answer choices: Elephant, Mustard, Teddy Roosevelt and Dracula. The question is posed in definition form, such as "Could be considered a Bull Moose". The player must determine, 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 Political party's candidate, and his party was nicknamed the Bull Moose Party. The concept is the aforementioned 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 exist either the monster or the Physician (and is specified in the question's animation).
• Information Mining: This only exists in Full Stream. A selection of a well-known personality'southward search history, in the form of queries or statements, are read to the players, who then have to choose the correct person the searches came from. For example, the searches "Directions to get effectually that runway", "Is 'I ain't no' grammatically right?", and "Why do these bananas taste similar [REDACTED]?" would belong to Gwen Stefani (referencing lyrics from her vocal Hollaback Girl). Data Mining is a spiritual successor to Funky Trash.
• Player's Choice: This but exists in Full Stream. At a moment of the game, the Binjpipe host asks players, including the audition, to vote between two question categories. The question with the highest percentage of the votes is the question that will be asked. (In case of a 50%/50% necktie, the Binjpipe host chooses between the two, 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 picture show or TV show that is recommended past Binjpipe, presumably influenced by your prior "viewing choices" or internet research as referred to in the question.

Jack Attack [edit]

The final circular of the game, called the Jack Attack in nigh versions and too known as the HeadRush in HeadRush, is a give-and-take 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 later versions, the category is selected by 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 player 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 correct 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 motion picture merely which are not stars of the motion picture. For each associated subject field, several potential matches announced on screen one-at-a-time for just a few seconds each before disappearing, and just one is correct. The topics and/or potential answers are sometimes humorous.

Players win money if they buzz in when the correct match is displayed on the screen. An incorrect guess deducts money from the player's score—not just one time, only every time the player buzzes in incorrectly (it is possible to buzz in incorrectly multiple times while the aforementioned wrong respond is shown). The money earned or lost was $ii,000 in most You lot Don't Know Jack volumes, $5,000 in HeadRush, an amount set by the players in The Ride and 5th Dementia, $four,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 histrion to press the answer. Multiple players play simultaneously, playing to the same words. The words that are not matched volition be cycled back in one time all seven subjects take been attempted.

Jack Attack ends later either all seven subjects are either (a) matched with the right reply, or (b) attempted twice (some subjects are attempted iii times). The exceptions are in some episodes of You Don't Know Jack 2011 and iOS, and all episodes of the Facebook version and You Don't Know Jack 2015, where all seven subjects are only shown in one case.

In Full Stream, only six subjects are given per "Attack". In each instance, the same clue and discipline in the middle of the screen are presented to the players, with six associated words—added 2 at a time—can all be available at once, and more than ane respond tin can exist correct. Players earn money for correct choices and lose money for incorrect choices. Then the players cull their answers, the less money is earned or lost per choice (either $1,000, $500, or $100). And since each player answers separately on their device, all players tin can score—either positively or negatively—on all the answers, only only once per selected answer.

In all versions of the game, the running total of each player's score is not shown anywhere on the screen during Jack Attack, and this part of the game is unremarkably accompanied by ominous music or ambient sounds. This creates tension betwixt players because of the dubiousness of ranking, and the unsettling atmosphere.
