YOU DON'T KNOW JACK (also known as the Webshow) was an online trivia video game developed by Jellyvision (now Jackbox Games) and launched on the official You Don't Know Jack website on March 5th, 2007.

The game is no longer available to play as of October 2010.

Gameplay

The game consisted of 7 questions in total, of which the third question would always be a Dis or Dat, and the final question would always be a Jack Attack.

The scoring worked exactly the same as YDKJ 2011 (aswell as its other releases at the time, like YDKJ 2015, YDKJ Facebook, etc.,) where the remaining amount of time you had since you answered the question would be the same amount of money you'd either win or lose.

Episodes

YDKJ Flash was packed with 100 episodes, all of which followed the same question structure. Although most of YDKJ Flash's episodes didn't have an overall theme to them, some of them did. These include:

• Episode 57: An April Fools episode where the some of the questions were related to the date itself. Aswell as having a Jack Attack that just consisted on just repeating what the prompts told you to do, just like Episode 47's Jack Attack in YDKJ 2011.
• Episode 60: A special episode where Cookie tries to assassinate Nate. All of the questions that appear in this episode are related to bad omens, violence, or death. At the end of the episode, Nate would go to a honeymoon with an elephant that Cookie tried to kill him with.
• Episode 100: The finale episode, where it's heavily shouted that this was the last episode of YDKJ Flash. This is also the first and only episode to feature Old Man, who reads out a Bingo-related prompt on the fifth question. The Jack Attack also consists of some final lines famously said in popular TV shows/movies.

The VMA Edition of YDKJ Flash only consisted of only two episodes.

VMA Edition

The VMA Edition of YDKJ Flash was uploaded to the official MTV site in mid-2011 for the Video Music Awards event happening on the same year.

Its structure was the pretty much the same as the regular Flash version, with only a couple saturation and font adjustments added to it, aswell as a different start-up loading screen.

Every question had something related to the celebrities that would star at the VMA, like Taylor Swift, for example.

So far, only the first and second questions of the first episode are ever archived on the Web Archive's page, which makes this version of YDKJ considered lost media.

Trivia

• There were only two special questions in the entirety of these Flash episodes, which only consisted of the Dis or Dat and the Jack Attack.
• After you've finished the game, if you had an account, you could save your score to a personal and a global leaderboard (also nicknamed "the Big Scoreboard".)
• Jack's eyes would follow your mouse cursor everytime you'd move around the main screen.
• There were three easters eggs that were present if you interacted with Jack at the title screen.
  • If you were to hover inbetween Jack's eyes, they'd get cross-eyed. If you were to click him whilst hovering him in that spot, his pupils would spin around. This easter egg was featured in both versions of YDKJ Flash.
  • There was a thin black line that, if hovered, Jack's eyes would turn neon red and purple, with a moving flame around his irises.
  • If you were to hover over Jack's forehead, his pupils would dilate. This is also featured in both Flash versions.

• YDKJ Flash uses Franklin Gothic Black for its question titles and a slightly thinner condensed version of Franklin Gothic for its answers; however, the VMA edition uses JackRoman for its titles, and a thicker condensed font for its answers.
