I’m hosting a team building game of Jeopardy on Tuesday and can’t figure out what app to use as a buzzer. All but one player (who is remote in a different state) will be present in the same conference room. Most of us have iPhones but at least two have Androids. Any suggestions?

Is anyone else having an issue with the Coryat app where it loses track of your in game progress if your phone falls asleep or you navigate to another app?

I’ve reinstalled the app and the problem persists.

I tried messaging the developer and did not hear back.

If so, any other apps you like for scorekeeping?

Here is the list of 1-game winners ordered by their average Coryat:

1. Nam Nguyen - 22,300
2. Maddie Carwile - 17,200
3. Evan Dorey - 14,800
4. Mikey McCullough - 13,300
5. Evan Suttell - 13,200
6. Susan Stumme - 13,100
7. Chris D'Amico - 12,800
8. Kelly Gates - 12,400
9. Tristan Brown - 12,300
10. Adam Reiffen - 11,900
11. Adam Hersh - 11,700
12. Mark Palmere - 11,500
13. Ian Taylor/Rachel Marcus - 10,800
14. Kelly Proulx - 10,600
15. Mark Lashley/Cat Pisacano/Abby Mann - 10,300
16. Laurel Day - 10,200
17. Rachel Bradley - 9,900
18. John Liu - 9,600
19. Joseph Carlstein - 8,900
20. Kate Roesch - 8,700
21. Stephanie Asalone - 8,600
22. Matthew Smith - 8,500
23. Chris Lindsay - 8,000
24. Matt Brooks - 5,600
25. Lee Wilkins - 4,200

Using Coryat would replace Evan Dorey with Nam Nguyen and Adam Hersh's potential spot with Maddie Carwile. In case you don't remember, Nam Nguyen beat Marko Saric (2-game CWC contestant) and Maddie Carwile beat David Erb (3-game TOC contestant).

Nam's average Coryat is higher than any of the 3 contestants that the showrunners believe are good enough to seed into the TOC semifinals. Maddie's average Coryat is higher than 2 of the 3. Yet we never get to see Nam or Maddie compete again. That is the biggest reason I think CWC spots should be decided this way.

Isaac Hirsch avg Coryat: $20,400
Adriana Harmeyer avg Coryat: $16,363
Drew Basile avg Coryat: $16,800

I sourced all of this data from thejeopardyfan.com

No disrespect to Evan or Adam is meant by this post they are both great contestants!!

Our very own Ken Jennings ended his winning streak against Nancy Zerg.

Ever since Michael Davis took over as executive producer of Jeopardy after Alex's passing and the whole Mike Richards debacle, I think Jeopardy has been taking some really strange swings that no one saw the likes of in the 40 years of the Trebek era. Remember when a contestant lost on Jeopardy, it actually meant that they LOST??? As in, thanks for playing, goodbye? Now Michael Davies has created the 2nd chance tournament, the Championship Wildcard AND the Jeopardy Invitational Tournament and this is all on top of the Tournament of Champions. So now basically if you don't even win won game, you still stand a chance of coming back, and if you win but don't meet the threshold of making the TOC you can come back. And if you lose the Tournament of Champions you can STILL possibly come back in the Invitational! Whatever happened to the concept of "losing"? It seems they really have adopted an "Everyone's a winner, everyone gets a trophy" sensibility.

Every night she greets him with, “Hi, Ken!” And then when the show ends… “Goodnight, Ken!” Her absolute favorite song to aggressively dance to is the Jeopardy! theme song. It slaps harder for her than Tupac. The best part is she wants my husband and me to join in. “Hold my hand!” As she bounces on the couch.

I don’t want to push expectations here, but I do want to see her on that stage one day.

For example, an entire category of triple stumpers.

Speaking of which, is that a big embarrassment for anyone?

Introduced Jeopardy to my teen nephew. he was surprisingly doing good on the "Geography" category. it was a happy change from him being glued to his phone & we also had a post-game discussion.

I did notice that a couple of clues were adult-themed. like some clue about "no strings attached relationships" ; things which I would never notice if I'd watch alone. had a 2 sec awkward silence but quickly moved-on to the next clue. when did you introduce Jeopardy to kids around you?

DD1 - $800 - 8-LETTER WORDS - Latinate noun for the world of teachers & educators

DD2 - $1,200 - AMERICAN HISTORY - The first third party movement in the U.S., it was formed in 1826 to oppose a certain secret order

DD3 - $1,200 - RATTLE - Also called the Circum-Pacific Belt, it's home to about 90% of the world's earthquakes

Correct Qs: >!DD1 - What Is pedagogy? (The response the writers were going for is academia.) DD2 - What is the Anti-Masonic Party? DD3 - What is the Ring of Fire? !<

A few years ago I downloaded a Jeopardy game made for Powerpoint by Rusnak Creative ( I don't believe that they are around any more). I never set it up until just recently, but now that I did the fam really likes it and I need to create more! The program includes a spreadsheet that is used to upload answers and questions into the program. Because creating questions and answers can be quite time-consuming, I'm wondering whether there are fans of this game that would be interested in exchanging or offering their game data?

Here are today's contestants:

• Nick Peitrowicz, a diplomatic security service special agent from Arlington, Virginia
• Susan Beachy, a news researcher from Queens, New York; and
• Laurel Day, a project manager originally from Austin, Texas. Laurel is a one-day champ with winnings of $18,801.

"LAND" HO! // BOOKS FOR YOUNGER READERS // ANTIQUES & COLLECTIBLES // CAUGHT SNACKING // THE BILLBOARD HOT 100: APRIL 9, 1983 // 8-LETTER WORDS

DD1 - $800 - 8-LETTER WORDS - Latinate noun for the world of teachers & educators (Nick was initially ruled incorrect, but that was later reversed, so he added $500.)

Scores at first break: Laurel $600, Susan -$600, Nick $6,000.

Scores entering DJ: Laurel $1,800, Susan $1,400, Nick $6,900.

Double Jeopardy!

DD2 - $1,200 - AMERICAN HISTORY - The first third party movement in the U.S., it was formed in 1826 to oppose a certain secret order (Laurel lost $1,200.)

DD3 - $1,200 - RATTLE - Also called the Circum-Pacific Belt, it's home to about 90% of the world's earthquakes (Nick added $1,100.)

Susan gained the lead on the last clue of DJ worth $2,000 and entered FJ at $11,800 vs. $10,800 for Nick and $3,800 for Laurel.

Final Jeopardy!

WORLD AIRPORTS - This city's international airport opened in 1942, just in time to be the destination of a flight at the end of a movie

Everyone was incorrect on FJ, which was really more of a classic film clue than the topic suggested by the category. Susan dropped the least, wagering $2,500 to come away with the win at $9,300.

Final scores: Laurel $0, Susan $9,300, Nick $7,799.

That's before their time: Everyone took an incorrect guess at the turntable speed for antique records, 78 rpm.

Wagering strategy: Since Susan chose not to go for a bet big enough to cover double of Nick's score, she might have considered a wager of less than $1,000, to force Nick to be correct with a non-zero wager to defeat her.

Pop Culture Jeopardy! isn't listed as airing December 4th on Prime Video Canada in any of the posts that I've seen. Any official word if this is US only?

Here are today's contestants:

• - Laurel Day, a project manager originally from Austin, Texas;
• - Debbie Mercer, a retried special education teacher from Oak Park, Illinois; and
• - Kevin Laskowski, an Episcopal priest from Falls Church, Virginia. Kevin is a three-day champ with winnings of $52,999.

DD1 - $400 - HOW CONVENTIONAL - The 1899 Hague Convention explicitly forbade dropping bombs from these; nice idea, but technology soon passed it by (Kevin lost $1,000.)

Scores at first break: Kevin $200, Debbie $2,400, Laurel $0.

Scores entering DJ: Kevin $3,400, Debbie $1,400, Laurel $600.

Double Jeopardy!

GEOGRAPHY // ASIAN LITERATURE // DO YOU WANT TO BUILD A BUILDING? // A REAL SMOKE SHOW // A PROJECT // -OLOGY

DD2 - $1,200 - ASIAN LITERATURE - "Frog" by Mo Yan follows Gugu, a midwife during China's implementation of this policy (On the first clue of DJ, Laurel added $400.)

DD3 - $1,200 - DO YOU WANT TO BUILD A BUILDING? - In 1943 this art collector asked Frank Lloyd Wright to build a building for a museum unlike any other in the world (Debbie added $1,200 to her score of $3,800 vs. $6,600 for Laurel.)

Laurel broke what appeared to be a three-way tie into the last clue of DJ, then a judging reversal gave her a larger lead into FJ at $14,600 vs. $9,400 for both Kevin and Debbie.

Final Jeopardy!

U.S. BUSINESSES - In 2024 this company said only 4 of its 400+ locations will let Mr. Munch, Helen Henny, Jasper T. Jowls, and its namesake still perform

Everyone was correct on FJ. Laurel added $4,201 to win with $18,801.

Final scores: Kevin $18,799, Debbie $14,602, Laurel $18,801.

Triple Stumper of the day: For a top-row clue, no one knew the mysterious ABC show that featured a Smoke Monster is "Lost".

Wagering strategy: Laurel opened DJ by running a literature category, which makes it all the more curious that after selecting DD2 on the first clue of the round, she chose to bet just $400.

What categories would you be best at? What small bits of information do you wish would luckily come up? What rules would you do best under? This post is not just an opportunity to ponder about the show, but also to express who you are. So I guess an alternate name for this post would be ‘who are you as a person?’

Jeopardy! hasn't changed its format ever since Alex Trebek took over. With more and more people starting to understand how the game works and try to game the system, should the show consider changing the format to make the show harder to be hacked? Thanks!

I was looking for a website that would just give me a random jeopardy board from the past few years and a split host / player display to easily be able to play in person with friends. I figured this would be easy to find but surprisingly couldn’t really find anything? Do you guys know anything along these lines that exists? Thanks

Here are today's contestants:

• Julia Schan, a stay-at-home mom from Pleasanton, California;
• Drew Wheeler, a high school social studies teacher from Athens, Georgia; and
• Kevin Laskowski, an Episcopal priest from Falls Church, Virginia. Kevin is a two-day champ with winnings of $39,400.

DD1 - $1,000 - SLOGANS - In the 1980s this investors newspaper billed itself as "the daily diary of the American dream" (Drew added $500.)

Scores at first break: Kevin $600, Drew $2,900, Julia $200.

Scores entering DJ: Kevin $3,400, Drew $3,500, Julia $1,600.

Double Jeopardy!

DD2 - $1,600 - "E" BOOKS - This nonfiction Pulitzer winner is subtitled "Poverty and Profit in the American City"; the title happened to many families (Kevin dropped from first to third by losing $3,000 from his score of $7,800.)

DD3 - $1,200 - 4-SYLLABLE WORDS - Also a math term; the police sometimes set one up to secure an area (Julia remained in first place after dropping $1,000 from her total of $9,600.)

In a close game, Julia managed to avoid making as many costly mistakes as her opponents and came out on top into FJ at $8,600 vs. $6,800 for Kevin and $6,300 for Drew.

Final Jeopardy!

STATE SONGS - Its 15 official state songs include 2 that mention moonshine and 3 played in 3/4 time

Kevin and Drew were correct on FJ, so Kevin's late move into second place at the very end of DJ made the difference in his victory with $13,599, for a three-day total of $52,999.

Final scores: Kevin $13,599, Drew $8,700, Julia $3,599. Note that if Drew had bet his entire $1,800 on DD1 instead of $500, there's a very good chance he would have finished ahead of Kevin into FJ and won the game.

Clue selection strategy: After DD2 was discovered, the remaining three untouched categories were all played top-down with DD3 still on the board. DD3 eventually fell to Julia who used it to make a small bet and maintain her lead, while her opponents who chose not to shop for it didn't get the chance to make a move to the front with it.
