JumpStart (known as Jump Ahead in the United Kingdom) was an educational media franchise created for children, primarily consisting of educational games. The franchise began with independent developer Fanfare Software's 1994 video game JumpStart Kindergarten. The series was expanded into other age groups and beyond games to include workbooks, direct-to-video films, mobile apps, and other media under the ownership of Knowledge Adventure, which later assumed the name JumpStart Games.
A JumpStart online virtual world was officially launched on March 10, 2009, offering a blend of educational content and entertainment experiences.[2][3] On June 13, 2023, JumpStart Games announced the closure of the company and that they would end support for both their JumpStart and Math Blaster series on June 30, 2023.[4]
