**You Don't Know Jack 2011** is an entry in the You Don't Know Jack series. This is the first commercial game since You Don't Know Jack Volume 6: The Lost Gold was released 8 years prior. It is also the first You Don’t Know Jack game in High-Definition and the first to be in 16:9 widescreen.

## Description

### Features

The 2011 version of the game works just like every other game in the franchise. However, there are some changes made to improve the formula. All players answer simultaneously instead of buzzing in individually. The amount of money earned or lost on a question is now determined based on a timer of 20 seconds; for every 0.01 second left, the player will earn $1 (or lose $1 if they get it wrong). All cash values are doubled in Round 2. The game has also been shorted to just 10 questions, plus the Jack Attack.

New to *You Don't Know Jack 2011* is the "Wrong Answer of the Game!" At the start of the game, you are going to be shown the episode's sponsor. One of the wrong answers in the game will be loosely themed around this sponsor, and choosing it will give you $4,000 ($8,000 in Round 2).

Screwing returns and functions largely the same as it used to, with only minor changes. If a player gets screwed, the 'screwee' only has 5 seconds to answer. If they get it wrong, the player who screwed them will get the cash. However, if they get it right, the 'screwer' will be screwed instead and lose the amount of cash that would have been lost had the screw victim got it wrong. Screws are not restored at the start of Round 2, now.

## Differences Between Releases

### Wii

* Due to hardware limitations, the game is not available in HD, and the quality and amount of animations in the game have been reduced.
* The Wii version does not have the DLC available to purchase, leaving only the 73 initial episodes available to play on Wii.

### Xbox 360

* Achieving certain tasks (ex: play any episode and score over $0) awarded the player's Xbox avatar with unique YDKJ themed apparel, this includes a t-shirt (Classy♂, Trendy♀), short-pants (Fashionable♂, Beautiful♀), a ski mask and a replica dummy.

### Nintendo DS

* This version, unlike many Nintendo DS versions of major console games, is still heavily based on the console version, but included features are stripped back or altered in several ways compared to their console counterparts.
	+ The game is limited to 1 or 2 players, although 2-player mode doesn't require a second system to play.
	+ The game only has 37 episodes as opposed to the console version's 73.
		- The DLC is also not available.
	+ The presentation has been simplified due to hardware limitations, for example, the intro featuring the Jack head coming towards the screen is absent, as well as the intro music. However, in place of this, there are jokes separated with one line being the buildup, and a delayed punchline.
		- Surprisingly, the game still has full voice over.
	+ The Wrong Answer of the Game is completely absent.
		- Any questions that featured the Wrong Answer of the Game were rewritten to remove the references to the sponsors.
	+ For Dis or Dat rounds in 2-player mode, the player who isn't playing can't buzz in early and earn money if they guessed correctly when the main player guessed incorrectly, essentially making Dis or Dat harder on the leading player as a result.
