Junkland Jam is an educational video game (intended for children aged 6 through 10) released in 1998 for PC and IBM and produced by SouthPeak Interactive. It features packrat named Simon Fehfer, who must retrieve his harmonica, which was sucked up by his mother's "JUNK Sucker 2000". Simon get sucked himself into the "JUNK Sucker 2000", where he finds himself in a magical world called Junkland, where the junk is now considered treasure. The game was designed and written by children's author Bill Bloom.

In Junkland Jam, the player helps Simon build musical instruments out of everyday items and also try to play them. Throughout the game, the player learns interesting facts about magnetism and electricity, to name a few. The game is packaged with a Hohner harmonica and a booklet on how to play the instrument.[1]
