Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

Back in the mid to late nineties, one of the best things going on your home computer was an online flash-based version of that Jellyvision game show, You Don’t Know Jack!. It’s hard to say what my favorite thing about the game was. Perhaps it was the crazy intros to each question, such as, “Whoo-whee! It’s question number three!” My favorite of those was, “Question number sixteen. And I like it too!”

I found myself wondering earlier today whatever happened to You Don’t Know Jack!. I know there was a long series of CD-ROM versions of the game (and I owned at least one) but what good is that when you eventually run out of questions? I ran a search online and it turns out you can still play the game online. Episodes are released as flash movies, fully interactive and in much the same style they’ve always been done, still by Jellyvision. The only caveats are that it all says BETA in big scary letters and I don’t see any multiplayer, which is where these games always really excelled.

It’s been back for about a year now, and I’m just catching on now. See you there. Or not, without multiplayer.

There are currently 59 individual episodes available, and you can check them out online starting right here.
