Jackbox Games, Inc. (formerly Jellyvision Games, Inc.) is an American video game developer based in Chicago, Illinois, best known for the You Don't Know Jack (YDKJ) series of quiz-based party video games. Founded as a subsidiary of Jellyvision in 1995, the company was formerly incorporated as Jellyvision Games, until both companies formally separated in 2001. After seven years of dormancy, in 2008, Jellyvision Games was revived and rebranded Jackbox Games.

Jellyvision created its division Jellyvision Games to publish numerous versions of You Don't Know Jack for personal computers from 1995 to 1998. In 2001, Jellyvision Games was spun off into its own company, though shared the same office space as with Jellyvision. Around the same time, the computer game market shifted; the pricing for CD-ROMs shifted, and players moved from personal computers to home consoles of the sixth generation. The company attempted to enter the marketplace with console-based versions of You Don't Know Jack but were unsuccessful. Jellyvision had to drastically cut its staff, dropping from 75 to about 6 people by 2001, and Jellyvision Games was shelved. About a year later, the studio reinvented itself, creating its Jellyvision Lab to work on business software technology they called "Interactive Conversation" that would help assist customers and clients in filling forms or other processes. The company was able to grow from this, in part due to clients they obtained that had been fans of the You Don't Know Jack series before.
