A little bit of serendipity hit my inbox yesterday. On Saturday, while looking for something to do, my wife suggested we play video games. Fine by me. She rummaged through our drawer of PS3 games and nonchalantly said, “We have You Don’t Know Jack, but I’d just wipe the floor with you anyway.” Game on. We played, and she beat me — she always does. It reminded me of just how much I love that kooky little quiz game.
Much to my joy, a press release showed up in my inbox this morning touting the availability of You Don’t Know Jack for Android. You might remember a YDNJ announcement from last year, when developer Jellyvision launched a Facebook version. That took home some awards, and is now also available on iOS. The Android version plugs into these networks, creating an even larger online community.
If you’ve never played YDNJ, there’s not much I can do for you at this point. The game is definitely a little wacky, which helps it stand out from your run of the mill quiz games. There are many different types of questions, so you’re not just answering multiple choice queries all day. And yes, you’ll get insulted if you answer incorrectly.
(Or you’ll get the Wrong Answer of the Day and turn a $2,000 loss into an $8,000 gain.)
Back in the day, YDNJ worked great on PC, because in those days you would gather your friends all in one place to play video games. Ah yes, the days when we played four-player Goldeneye on a 25-inch TV. Alas, these days video games are played online, which means you can play your friends no matter where your locale. It will certainly be nice to play YDNJ again with my old high school buddies.
As with most things Android, YDNJ is free. You can download it from Google Play.
