JumpStart Games (formerly known as Knowledge Adventure) was a well-known edutainment game company formed in 1991, most known for making JumpStart. In the late 1990s, it was later merged with another large education software firm, Davidson & Associates, which was best known for the Math Blaster series and other related games in the popular Blaster Learning System line-up.
Since then, the company was owned by various firms, including CUC Interactive in 1997, Cendant Corporation in 1998, and Vivendi in the same year (later known as "Vivendi Universal" in 2000). During the Vivendi ownership, Knowledge Adventure was part of the Vivendi Universal Games division. In late 2004, Vivendi Universal sold Knowledge Adventure to a group of investors interested in taking a more active management strategy, and in developing new educational software. The company has since released new products under both the JumpStart and Math Blaster brands.
In 2012, Knowledge Adventure was renamed to JumpStart Games. In 2017, JumpStart Games was acquired by NetDragon Websoft. On June 13, 2023, JumpStart Games announced the closure of the company and the end of support of all games, and on July 1, the company was officially closed, with the servers and website also shutting down, likely as a result of the lawsuit that arose as a result of the Neopets data breach in 2022 (a property JumpStart acquired from Nickelodeon in 2014).
Visuals: On a white background, a blue square fades in on the left of the screen. Then, the words "DISCOVER.", "LEARN." and "EXCEL." slide in, one-by-one, at the bottom right corner of the square, each forming a set of stairs each time. An orange star then appears at the top right corner of the square, and a blue person then comes near the square, walks up the steps (becoming white in the process), and touches the star, causing it to flash and freeze the logo. "Knowledge Adventure" fades in at the top of the orange text.Variants:There is a version with the company name in two rows and no slogan.In JumpStart Dino Adventure Field Trip, the slogan was added.Another rare version has a black background and the name below the picture. It can mainly be found in the installer for some KA games.An in-credit version is used on the US release of Play with the Teletubbies.In JumpStart Preschool: Who Left the Juice in the Caboose? and the the Jumpstart VHS promo video, it cross-fades from the Jumpstart Learning System curriculum pyramid table, as the logo is zoomed out, therefore being superimposed within a still white background.Some international versions of Jumpstart games (like the UK version of the 1997 remake version of Jumpstart Kindergarden (as Jump Ahead Starting School 2000), which had the space background from the previous logo appear before cutting to the finalized logo, the later shown in a white background), as in which, it replaces the 1993 logo (the same occurs with Jumpstart Adventures 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain, Jumpstart 1st Grade Math (as Jumpstart Math for 1st Graders) and Jumpstart 2nd Grade Math (as Jumpstart Math for 2nd Graders); a similar occurrence that happened was Jumpstart Kindergarten Reading (as Jumpstart Reading for Kindergarteners), which adds the logo instead of replacing the 1993 print logo on the title screen, but removed it instead). Other times, the black background is used instead, but the logo is sometimes in a white box with the slogan.There is a version where the slogan is in different languages. Some languages use the English version before changing it to its localized language. This excludes Japanese, which uses the English version.French (main): "DECOUVRIR. APPRENDRE. EXCELLER."French (alt; all uppercase): "DECOUVRIR. APPERENDRE. RESSUIR."French (alt; native): "Découvrir. Apperendre. Réssuir."German (main): "ENTDECKEN. LERNEN. BEGEISTERN."German (alt): "SPIELEN. LERNEN. ENTDECKEN."Spanish: "DESCUBRE. APPENDE. DESTACA."Finnish: "LÖDYÄ. OPI. TAIDA."Swedish: "Upptäck. Lär. Förstå."Norwegian: "UTFORSK. LÆR. BRILJER."A 30fps version can be found in some games.On Blaster's Universe, the website URL "www.blasternaut.com" appears. It is also sped up near the end of the logo.Technique: 2D digital animation.Audio: A mellow synth-piano/orchestral theme.Audio Variants:On Blaster's Universe, the show's closing theme is used.On JumpStart Preschool: Who Left the Juice in the Caboose?, as shown here, Frankie (voiced by Scott Martin) says "...helping children everywhere! Discover, Learn and Excel!" during the logo.On JumpStart Kindergarten: Why Did the Bus Stop?, as shown here, Hopsalot only says the company's tagline.On the Jumpstart VHS promo video, as shown here, Frankie only says "...everywhere!" before saying the company's tagline (the audio is from the former VHS video).Availability: Seen on post-1998 JumpStart games like JumpStart 1st Grade as well as post-1999 Math Blaster/Reading Blaster games. It also can be seen on other games like Play with the Teletubbies and Little People: Discovery Airport. Localized versions of the slogan can be found on international Jumpstart games (excluding Japanese versions); the alternate French version can be found on Franklin Après l'école, a Franklin video game from France. It is also found at the end of Blaster's Universe, as well as JumpStart Preschool: Who Left the Juice in the Caboose? and JumpStart Kindergarten: Why Did the Bus Stop? on VHS.
