The RulesThe RulesThis game plays the same as

traditional Jeopardy, except there is only one round and then Final Jeopardy.

No one is allowed to ring in until the host has finished reading the answer.

Once a category and point value have been chosen, click that point value to go to the answer.

The RulesThe RulesWhen an answer is on-screen,

push the space bar to have the question appear. Then a click on the u-turn button will return the game to the Jeopardy screen.

You may decide to appoint a judge to decide who rings in first.

Push the space bar to continue on to the gameboard…
