Knowledge Adventure designs and produces award-winning products under two primary flagship brands:

• Trusted by over 30 million parents, the JumpStart brand has been a leader in the educational software market for over 10 years. Recently, the internationally renowned brand expanded into the online gaming market with a new website at JumpStart.com. Launched live on March 10, 2009, JumpStart.com is a groundbreaking evolution in children's learning games and the first learning game delivered in a browser with high-quality 3D graphics and advanced game play. A completely safe and secure online environment where kids can interact, explore and learn, JumpStart.com is quickly becoming the epicenter of online gaming for the 3-10 year old demographic.
• Perhaps Knowledge Adventure's most beloved brand, Math Blaster products have been used in classrooms and homes worldwide for more than 15 years. Through a partnership with Majesco Entertainment Company, the award-winning brand was recently transitioned onto the Nintendo DS. The all-new Nintendo DS game, Math Blaster in the Prime Adventure, extends the proven brand into an age-appropriate handheld platform.
