Report an issue

Tell us what happened and we will look into it. Your mail app opens with the report filled in, so nothing is stored on this site.

Getting started

Open JoJab. After a short loading screen you see four onboarding pages; Skip is available on the first three.
Type a boxer name or tap one of the suggestions, then tap Enter the ring.
iOS asks about notifications. Reminders are optional; the game works the same without them.
A short tour shows your level card and the Train tab. Your first fight opens after one pad session.

The tabs: Fight for your next rival and the ladder, Train for pad work and gloves, Record for stats and trophies, Settings for your name, sound and reminders.

Training and levels

Pad work is the only way to earn XP. Each session has five hands. The coach calls a target from 15 to 19 and you draw cards toward it.

Reach the call without going over 21: XP equals your total.
Exactly 21: 30 XP. Short of the call: 4 XP. Over 21: no XP.
A JoJo (two of the same move first) doubles the hand's XP, and a finished session adds 20.
Three sessions a day; after that the Train tab counts down to midnight.

Fights

A bout is three rounds of four exchanges. Both boxers start each exchange with two cards.
Throw takes a card, Guard stops. Then the rival draws to their limit.
The higher total lands 8 damage plus 2 per point of difference. Exactly 21 is a knockdown for 30. A rival bust lands your punch for 18; your bust lets the rival counter. Equal totals are a clinch.
Health at zero is a knockout; otherwise the bout goes to points.
Pause any time. Save and exit keeps the bout, and JoJab offers to continue it next time. Give up counts as a loss.
Press and hold a card to see the move's name.

Rivals and the ladder

Sixteen rivals stand between you and the belt. Rival number N needs boxer level N, plus at least one training session since your last new win. Tap Ladder on the Fight tab to see everyone; beaten rivals offer a free rematch. After the belt come title defences against tougher challengers.

Gloves and trophies

Every level unlocks a new pair of gloves, sixteen styles in all. Wear any unlocked pair from Train → Gloves; they show on the Fight tab and in the ring.
There are 24 trophies for fights, training, levels, streaks and gloves. Open Record → Trophies and tap an earned one to share it as an image.

Settings and progress

Your progress is saved on your iPhone automatically. There is no account and no cloud sync inside the app.
Moving to a new iPhone: restore it from an iCloud or computer backup of the old one and your boxer comes along.
Settings → Reset progress starts over from creating a boxer. Deleting the app also erases everything.
Reminders, sound, haptics, trainer tips and quick play are switches in Settings. If reminders do not arrive, check that notifications for JoJab are allowed in the iOS Settings app.
Settings → Show tutorial again replays the tours; How to play opens the rules.
