Based on the animated series of the same name, Jack’s adventures continue online with a high-colour website! Intended for fans of the series, this virtual component lets them take part in exploration missions both on Earth and on unfamiliar planets.
After choosing an avatar, players can step inside Jack’s world and experience the incredible adventures of their favourite hero. They will also become real explorers and will be rewarded with virtual stickers! As they play, they will learn all about the different environments around them. Each mission that the players take on gives them the opportunity to analyse and understand fascinating scientific phenomena. As they play, they will improve their observational and analytical skills, their logic and their thirst for knowledge.
Who’s ready to become a space explorer, then?
In the Jack mobile and tablet app, the player helps Jack train Rocket, his cute alien dog, so he can become a Super Explorer Dog. By using various touch controls and device manipulations, the player helps Rocket perform a variety of cool skills, such as the Super Jump, Upside Down Walking, the Super Flair, Tongue Stretching, Supersonic Hearing and Air Acrobatics.
During the game, the young player can collect mini-chips and trade them to obtain various accessories for Rocket or to customize his avatar in the Jack web-based game. This wonderful game combines colorful graphics, original game mechanics and an adorably funny character!
