John "J.B." Lewis is one of the top Chip's Challenge players, being second place in Chip's Challenge 1 (5,977,570), second place in Chip's Challenge Level Pack 2 (6,050,700), second place on CCLP3 (6,088,720) and first place on CCLP1 (6,005,770).

Among his many high scores, the most famous in each set are generally known as the first 306 in Follow the Glacier Brick Road, whose boosting was once thought to be humanly impossible to perform, and the almost inhumanly unlucky 436 route to Blobnet (though strategy, readable on its page, helps out quite a bit).

John's talent, often known as prodigious, is usually best seen in squeezing the last few seconds out of a level, using roundabout routes, efficient block pushing, and laser-accurate monster usage.

John has primary level sets avaiable online. JL1 contains 101 levels, many of which were available in a more primitive form in his previous set JohnL1, which since has been taken offline. JohnL2 was a set created to emulate the style of AndrewB1, and thus is only compatible with the MS ruleset. His most recent set, JBLP1, has had two different iterations. The first was a 100 level set that eased the difficulty curve of JL1 by swapping out some levels for new ones and making existing ones more fair. In August 2014, he revamped the set by adding new levels and swapping out others, bringing the level total to 149.

John was also the group leader of the CCLP3 staff. Thirty-three of his 99 eligible levels were placed into CCLP3, which was the most of any designer. He reprised his role as staff leader for CCLP1, and had 13 of his levels make it into the final set.

John maintains a YouTube channel where he posts Let's Plays, including Let's Plays of Chip's Challenge level sets. He has completed CC1, The Pit of 100 Tiles, Chip56, JoshL4, and JoshL5. He was also the first to do a Let's Play of Chuck's Challenge 3D.
