Indie Trivia Game Developer Expands into New IP and New Generation Publishing, including OuyaĬHICAGO, ILLINOIS – J– Independent developer Jellyvision Games today announced its re-branding initiative with the new moniker: Jackbox Games.Īfter nearly two decades of entertaining players with their landmark YOU DON'T KNOW JACK franchise, the former PC and console developer has expanded into a full-fledged new-generation publisher for multiple games on social and mobile platforms, Roku, and now Ouya. JELLYVISION GAMES, MAKERS OF YOU DON'T KNOW JACK, RE-BRANDS AS JACKBOX GAMES

But Jackbox is doing good work, and hopefully it'll be able to build an even stronger reputation with its new identity. It is sort of a bummer to see a longtime brand pass on. Additionally, Jackbox has two more upcoming apps to release, in addition to the recent Lie Swatter. Jellyvision always was, but this should give Jackbox a chance to do more with the upcoming next-generation platforms, as well as other devices like Roku and Ouya. The new branding makes a lot of sense: It definitely allows the company to focus on You Don't Know Jack and that brand, and it sets the company up as a multiplatform studio. Now, after nearly 20 years of work, the company has decided to rebrand itself, and Jellyvision is going to become Jackbox Games.

The title originally began as a series of PC and Mac games, though, of course, Jellyvision has taken the series to consoles, and then more recently to Facebook and iOS. Jellyvision Games has been making variations of You Don't Know Jack for a while now, which is of course the irreverant and very popular trivia game.
