Developed by Jellyvision and released for the PlayStation in 2000, You Don’t Know Jack – Mock 2 brings the fast-paced, irreverent trivia action of the popular PC series to consoles. Players compete to answer a variety of pop culture and general knowledge questions hosted by a sarcastic announcer. Filled with clever wordplay and humorous “mock commercials,” it’s a fantastic local multiplayer party game that tests both your wits and your reflexes.
How to Play
The objective is to earn the most money by correctly answering multiple-choice trivia questions faster than your opponents, while avoiding penalties for wrong answers. In the browser emulator, use the Arrow Keys to navigate menus and select answers. The PlayStation’s primary action buttons are mapped to your keyboard: press X or Z to confirm your choices, and use Enter for Start and Shift for Select to pause or join the game.
Tips
- Use Your Screws: You get a limited number of “screws” per game, which allow you to force an opponent to answer a tough question. Use them strategically when you’re confident they don’t know the answer.
- Don’t Guess Wildly: Incorrect answers deduct money from your score. If you’re completely stumped and it’s not a forced question, it’s often better to let the timer run out than risk losing cash.
- Prepare for the Jack Attack: The final round is a fast-paced matching game where clues and answers fly by. Keep your finger on the buzzer and rely on quick reflexes, as a massive amount of cash is on the line.
