Train a team 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.

When to use it

Safety or induction training that people work through at their own desk, in their own time. A revision board a pupil plays again the night before a test, chasing a better score. A check everyone takes alone before a training day, so you know where to start.

What makes it this

Built on the Jeopardy generator with these changed. Everything else is the default.

  1. How it's played

    Run the board from your screen, add buzzers on players' phones, or let each player work the board on their own.

    In the builder: How it plays › Who's playing

  2. Value drops while reading

    An open clue loses value, down to half, until the player commits to answering. Answering quickly scores more.

    In the builder: How it plays › Clock & steals

  3. Seconds to answer

    How long a team has once a clue is revealed. Set it to 0 to play without a clock.

Workplace safety basics: a solo study board

25 questions

Why the example is built this way

  1. Easiest clues at the top of each column.

    A clue's row sets its worth, 100 at the top to 500 at the bottom on the default Points per row. Order each column from what everyone knows to what only the keen will get.

  2. Thirty seconds to answer, not twenty.

    The default is written for a team saying an answer to a host. Playing alone, people type their answers, and some clues ask for a list of names.

  3. A pass mark of 60 percent.

    At the default of 100, anything short of a perfect board misses the finishing message. With Score needed for the message at 60, fifteen of the twenty-five clues is a pass.
