In the nineties, between rooting for Ross and Rachel to get together, Learn Television developed an education-focused trivia game called That’s A Fact, Jack! (see where this is headed?), distributed to schools on these shiny round objects you can find in museums called CD-ROMs.Īt the same time, Berkeley Systems, creator of the After Dark screensaver series, for which people paid actual real money, was looking for cool new ideas. (Not that curling up with a stack of encyclopedias isn’t awesome, but it’s nice to have options.) Jackbox Games began as Learn Television, founded in 1989 by Harry Nathan Gottlieb to realize his vision of making short, engaging educational films for schools.
