Classroom game show
You run the board from your screen, teams answer out loud, and a wrong answer costs. Steals included.
When to use it
The last lesson of term, reviewing a whole unit with the class split into teams. A revision session where you want a team to talk an answer through before anyone says it. A school quiz evening, with the board on the big screen and you running it from your own device.
What makes it this
Built on the Jeopardy generator with these changed. Everything else is the default.
- Wrong answers cost the clue's value
Classic scoring — a 400 miss takes 400 off. Off means a wrong answer simply costs nothing.
In the builder: How it plays › General
- Answers must be phrased as a question
The classic rule — "What is Paris?" rather than "Paris". A reminder on screen; you still decide what counts.

- Reveal the answer when time runs out
The board shows the correct response itself instead of waiting for you.

How a round runs
- 1 Open the host console and put it on the big screen.
- 2 Type the team names and start the game.
- 3 A team picks a clue, answers out loud, and you judge it right or wrong.
- 4 A wrong answer can pass to the next team. The Daily Double asks for a wager first.
Preview
View only — copy it to play.End-of-term science: a classroom game show
Five columns, twenty-five clues and one Daily Double. Put the board on the big screen, split the class into teams and run it from your own device — answers are said out loud, in the form of a question.
25 questions
Why the example is built this way
-
Responses written as questions.
With Answers must be phrased as a question on, write each response as a question and add the plain word as an accepted answer. A team that forgets the form is then visibly right too, and you decide.
-
Thirty seconds, not the default twenty.
Teams say a whole phrase out loud, in question form, so set Seconds to answer to 30. A steal runs on half the clock, which is still a real chance.
-
The Daily Double sits on an easier clue.
A miss on the Daily Double always costs the wager, so put it on something most of the room will know rather than on the hardest square on the board.

More with the Jeopardy
Solo study board
A Jeopardy board each person works alone. A clue loses value while it is read, so knowing it fast scores more.
Phones as buzzers
Everyone joins with a name and their phone becomes the buzzer. The clue shows on their own screen, so it works remotely too.
