### Code Name

YDKJ2015

**You Don't Know Jack 2015** is an entry in the You Don’t Know Jack series. It was released as part of the Jackbox Party Pack in 2014. The game supports 1-4 players using mobile devices, as well as (for single-player games) a controller or keyboard.

## Features & Question Types

The game functions virtually identical to the previous entry in the series. However, new to the series is the ability to play using a phone or tablet device as your controller through entering a room code. Aside from that, most of the changes are cosmetic or in the form of different round types from previous games.

Each episode consists of 11 questions: 5 in round 1, 5 in round 2, and the Jack Attack, which is played differently than the earlier rounds. Players are asked multiple-choice questions, typically relating a pop culture reference to an ordinary trivia question. Players buzz-in by selecting an answer on their device. Each question has a timer of 20 seconds. Players win money for a correct answer, but lose money for a wrong answer. The money at stake is $1 ($2 in round 2) for each hundredth of a second left on the clock when the player buzzed in.

In multiplayer games, every player is given a screw. During a question, a player may choose to "screw" another player by tapping the "Screw" button on their device, which pauses the game clock. The victim will only have 5 seconds to pick an answer, and gains or loses money based on their answer and the time remaining on the game clock (failing to answer counts as wrong). The 'screwer' then loses or gains the same amount of money, respectively. The screwed player's answer is revealed as right or wrong immediately. If it is wrong, the game clock resumes, and all players that have not yet answered may answer with one fewer wrong answer on the board; if it is right, the question ends immediately.

The Jack Attack has been changed slightly, and now no longer replays questions that were passed or not answered correctly the first time. Once the final question is over, the final scores are shown and the player with the most money is the winner.

## Trivia

* This is the first game in The Jackbox Party Pack franchise that allows the optional use of a keyboard and gamepad to play instead of a digital device connected to Jackbox.tv, with the second being Quixort.
* This is the only Jackbox game that was directed by Harry Gottleib, as for now on.
* Episode 8: Vegan Cannibal Supply Company is more commonly known as the 'Paul Rudd' episode, because almost every question is in some way about Paul Rudd and that he was *allegedly* going to feature as a guest host but never appears. At the end of the game, it is revealed that Paul Rudd had in fact NOT been contacted, suggesting that the events that took place were done purely for comedy effect.
	+ Interestingly, Paul Rudd is referenced in another famous episode from *You Don't Know Jack 2011*, where his name appears during the Jack Attack with no context.
* This game reuses episodes 36-50 from the Ouya game.
* Question 6's segue may sometimes have different text for the second speech, followed by the rope-bound 6 NOT appearing in the question number itself.
* The Question 8 segue has a chance to instead read '8cho' instead of '8ight'.
	+ In the game files, there is an alternate version of the Question 8 segue that is completely different. It is possible that it was for an early version of the segue.
* There is a small chance that in Question 9's segue, instead of a shark swimming by, the 4 that got shot in YDKJ 2011 will have it's dead corpse floating by instead.
* Donny, Kim, and Chad from You Don't Know Jack 2011 is not present in this game. It is unknown what happened to them, and it is likely that they quit or were laid off sometime after the final episode of 2011. Or that they were simply cut. However, each game usually has a new set of crew members exclusive to that game. If that is the case, then this is the first game to not include any new characters in any YDKJ game.
* The fonts used are JackRoman, JackRoman Italic, JackRomanPhat, JackCondensed, JackCondensed Italic, JackCondensedPhat, JackCondensedPhat Italic, JackExtraCond, JackExtraCondPhat, Arial & TradeGothic.
* If any player in the game sets their name to "F\*\*\* You", It will be automatically renamed and the player will be penalized with -$1,000. If you do the exact same thing again, the player will be penalized with -$50,001, If you do it one more time, you’ll be rewarded with a goat.
