How to play Jeopardy World

What you need

Up to 50 players can play at once. You, the host, need an account; the players do not.

Building your own game

1. Sign up or identify yourself with a Google account.
2. Press the button in the top bar New game. The new game appears in the list right away.
3. Give the game a name. The auto-generated name makes the game hard to find later.
4. Let AI write the clues. On the game page, press AIFill with AI. Describe what the game is about and who is playing. You get a prompt to give to ChatGPT, Claude or another AI. Paste the AI’s answer back, check the board and import it. You can also fill a single topic from the topic edit window.
5. Or write six topics with five clues and answers each yourself. You can edit AI-written clues the same way. Images, sound and video you always add yourself – AI writes only the text.

Running the game

1. Choose from the menu My Games and open the game you want to play.
2. Press start. A waiting screen opens with the game code in large type.
3. Players open on their phones jeopardy.world, enter the code and their name, then press Join game. Players appear on the waiting screen by themselves, no refresh needed.
4. Once enough players have joined, press Start game. Latecomers can join mid-game too — the code stays on screen.
5. Pick a cell on the board and click it. The clue grows out of the cell across the screen and the answer button opens on the players' devices.
6. Players press. Answerers appear on the right in the order they pressed — fastest at the top. The answer is given out loud.
7. Score the top player: ✓ adds the clue’s value, ✕ subtracts. Only then can the next player be scored.
8. Made a mistake? Click the player's name to score them again.
9. If nobody knows the answer — not even you — press the eye button in the clue window. The first player can then see the answer on their device.
10. Close the clue and pick the next cell. A played cell stays on the board, darkened.
11. Whoever collects the most points wins. The prize is up to you.

A picture in a clue

1. Save the picture to your device. .jpg, .jpeg and .png files work.
2. When editing the clue, press add image, pick the file and save the clue.

Audio in a clue

1. Find a suitable audio file. To take one from a YouTube video, search for "youtube to mp3" — you will find web tools that turn a video into audio. .mp3 and .wmv work.
2. If the file is too long, search for "online audio trimmer" and cut out the part you need. A short clip plays better than a whole track.
3. When editing the clue, press add audio, pick the file and save the clue.

A video in a clue

1. Open the video you want on YouTube and copy its link.
2. Paste the link into the clue's link field and save the clue.
