How to make a Jeopardy game

How to Make a Jeopardy Game (No PowerPoint)

The old way is fifty clue cards and a slide deck. The board builds itself in one pass — you keep the topic and the hosting.

Precipitation · 500 — Hori’s class. A Year 7 question, read out, answer still hidden.

Lantern Rite Trivia, mid-round. Five Liyue categories, four tiles played, two teams scoring.

Devil Fruits · 400 — Zoro. A 400-point clue with the giver’s portrait beside it.

Water Cycle Review — result. The winner, both totals, and a face on the last screen.

A board is one thing a world can build

Neta Studio is an AI world builder. A quiz board is a small object inside a bigger world: the same place already holds the cast, the places and the facts, so the categories are written from what the world knows. Change a clue, add a round, run the night again — the world stays put.

Clues from the world — a fan board draws on the world’s own cast and canon, so the answers stay right.
A face on every clue — each tile can carry a portrait, which is what makes it read as a game show rather than a spreadsheet.
One link for the night — both rounds, the wagers and the scoreboard ship as one page you can project.

Before you sit down to host

Do I need PowerPoint?

No. Nothing here is a slide deck. The board is a page you open in a browser and click on the projector, which is why the values stay on screen and the used tiles grey out.

How long does this take?

One prompt for the whole board. Both rounds, the clues, the wagers and the scoreboard come back together; changing a single clue afterwards is one follow-up.

How many clues does a board need?

Twenty-five in Round 1 and twenty-five in Double Jeopardy is the television shape. Ask for a short board, six categories or a classroom review and it is built to that size.

What makes a clue good?

One sentence, one short fact for an answer, and a difficulty that matches the value. The 100 should be gettable by anyone paying attention; the 500 should not be.

Can one person host and score?

Yes. Correct and Missed sit under the answer, so a solo host keeps both totals and passes the turn on a miss without leaving the clue.

Can I build it from my own lesson or notes?

Yes. Paste the lesson outline, a reading list or a PDF and the categories follow that material instead of general trivia.

Can two teams play on one screen?

Yes — two teams, a turn indicator and running totals. Ask for four teams and they are added, with the same board.

Can I print it or play it offline?

The board is a shareable link, so it wants a browser. Ask for a printable answer key alongside it if the host wants paper.

Nine steps, one prompt, one link.

Both rounds, the clues, the wagers and the scoreboard — for whatever your class or table is arguing about.
