3. Teams and rules
How to make a Jeopardy game, step by step
- Pick a source. Use your own flashcard decks (each deck becomes a category), start from a ready-made Jeopardy template, or type a board from scratch.
- Edit the clues. Row 1 is worth 100, row 5 is worth 500, so put the easiest clue first. Empty clues are simply left off the board.
- Set the rules. Add 1 to 6 teams, and choose classic deductions, a Daily Double, an answer timer and a final round.
- Play. Press Build the board, then Full screen on the projector. Click a value, read the clue, reveal the answer and tap the team that got it.
- Save or share it. “Copy share link” packs the whole board into a link. Open it on the classroom computer, or send it to a colleague.
How to play Jeopardy review in class
- Split the class into 2 to 6 teams. Teams take turns picking a category and value.
- Read the clue, give the team a few seconds (or turn on the timer), then reveal the answer.
- With classic rules on, a wrong answer loses the value and other teams can steal.
- The Daily Double is hidden behind one clue (never a 100). It is worth double, won or lost.
- In the final round each team secretly writes a wager, up to its score (or up to 500 if it has 0 or less), then everyone answers the same clue.
Because the clues can come from the same decks students study on StudyBlitz, you can post the decks beforehand as homework and use the board for in-class review. For a faster format where every question is multiple choice, try the multiplayer study game’s buzz-in mode on the same screen.
StudyBlitz vs a PowerPoint or Google Slides Jeopardy template
| StudyBlitz | Slides template | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Type or paste clues into a grid | Edit 25+ slides and their hyperlinks by hand |
| Used clues | Disappear from the board automatically | Depends on the template’s link tricks |
| Scores | Kept on screen for up to 6 teams | Usually on a whiteboard |
| Daily Double, timer, final wagers | Built in | Extra slides you set up yourself |
| Reuse | Build it from your decks, share as a link | Duplicate and re-edit the file |
Tips for a good review board
- Keep clues short enough to read aloud in one breath.
- Make the 500 clues about connections or “why”, not obscure trivia.
- Mix in a category the class finds fun (a vocab category, or a “name that diagram” set) to keep energy up.

Questions people ask
Is this Jeopardy game maker free?
Yes. It is completely free, needs no account and runs in the browser, so it works on any classroom computer connected to a projector.
Is there a free template for playing Jeopardy?
Yes. Pick “Ready-made template” for a science, US history or world geography board, or open the Jeopardy templates page to see every clue first. You can edit any clue before you play.
How do I make my own Jeopardy game?
Choose “Type a board from scratch”, name up to five categories, fill in a clue and answer for each value from 100 to 500, then press Build the board. You can also turn existing flashcard decks into categories.
How many categories and questions can a board have?
Up to five categories with five clues each, plus an optional final clue. That is 25 clues, roughly a 30 to 40 minute review.
Can ChatGPT create a Jeopardy game?
It can draft clues, but you still need a board to play them on. A quick route: paste your notes into our AI flashcard generator, save the cards as a deck, then pick that deck here.
Can I save or share my board?
Use “Copy share link”. The whole board is stored inside the link (nothing goes to our server), so anyone who opens it gets the same board to play or edit.
Does it have buzzers?
No phone buzzers, because nothing runs on a server. Teams answer out loud or raise a hand, and the host taps the team that answered. The optional timer keeps the pace up.
Is this the official Jeopardy game?
No. It is a quiz-board format inspired by the TV show, for classroom review, and it is not affiliated with Jeopardy Productions.
