YOU DON'T KNOW JACK 5th Dementia (originally announced as YOU DON'T KNOW JACK Volume 5[1]) is a trivia video game developed by Jellyvision (now Jackbox Games), and was published by Sierra On-Line on October 30th, 2000.[2] It is the sequel to Volume 4: The Ride, and the tenth installment in the You Don't Know Jack series.
It is the first You Don't Know Jack game not to be co-developed by Berkeley Systems, who up to that point had been involved with the franchise since its inception.
It is the first game in the series to offer online multiplayer, which is no longer operational as of August 16th, 2007.[3]

Development
Sometime in the same year, a "Psych Test"[4] was released on Jellyvision's website as a Flash game, where it would have the "licensed therapist" Dr. Sandy Whiteman ask you personal questions (like your gender, the size of your head, among others) as well as some Rorschach paintings, portrayed with bug splatters, and calculate them to make their character. Then you'd be presented with another patient, Jenny. A question will then pop up, which she'll get wrong, and you'll then have to answer it. After that, you'd be prompted with a DisOrDat, with either the answers being names from the movie Goodfellas or a Beanie Baby.
After all is set and done, he'll prescribe you with buying the game, of which another cutscene will pop up with bugs detailing the new features that the game has.
