YOU DON'T KNOW JACK Party was a trivia video game developed and published by Jackbox Games.
It is a mobile port of YOU DON'T KNOW JACK (2011), and was initially released on the OUYA console as YOU DON'T KNOW JACK for OUYA on June 11th, 2013.[1]
It was later brought over to iOS under the name YOU DON'T KNOW JACK Party on September 19th, 2013.[2] A version for Amazon Fire TV followed on April 2nd, 2014.[3]
The game is no longer available for download as of 2016.[citation needed]
Gameplay
JackPad
The JackPad app was a separate mobile app that was downloadable on the App Store that would let you play You Don't Know Jack through an Apple device's AirPlay feature.
Once you connected your app to the screen, a textbox saying "What's your name?" would pop up. You'd then type in whatever you'd want your name to be in the game, then hit the "OK" button.
When the devices were connected and the lobby was loaded up, players would press the "A" button on their device in order to join the game.
During a regular question, the player could pick one of the buttons on their device (Y, X, B and A) to guess with their respective answer. Players could also screw another player by pressing the "SCREW" button at the bottom of the screen and pick the player they want to screw with their respective button, this could also mean that they could screw themselves as well.
During DisOrDats, only the X and B buttons would be read thru the app. And during the Jack Attack, only the A button would be read.

Trivia
- You Don't Know Jack 2015 used basically the exact same button layout as the one from the original JackPad controller. It only came with a couple of background differences, though:
- The JackPad controller was grey, with a slightly noticeable "X" slit in the middle of the buttons. The name given by the player was typed out in solid yellow text, and was case-sensitive.
- The YDKJ 2015 controller has a wavy neon green background. The game also disabled the Y and A buttons during the DisOrDats and only showed the A button during the Jack Attack. The name was also in all caps and in neon yellow text.
