Are You a Jeopardy! Pro?

Jeopardy! is an American game show in which contestants are given clues as answers and must identify the question that the clue describes. The show debuted in 1964 and has since aired over 8,000 episodes. The show has had several hosts, with Alex Trebek serving as host for over 35 years until his death in 2020. The show has a worldwide following with regional adaptations in many other countries. Each game features three contestants competing in three rounds: Jeopardy!, Double Jeopardy!, and Final Jeopardy! In each round, contestants are presented trivia clues phrased as answers, to which they must respond in the form of a question. The Jeopardy! and Double Jeopardy! rounds each feature large electronic game boards consisting of six categories with five clues each. The Final Jeopardy! round features a single clue and contestants must make a final wager. The contestant with the highest score at the end of the round is that day's winner. The top scorer in each game is paid their winnings in cash and returns to play in the next match. Non-winners receive consolation prizes instead of their winnings in the game.Jeopardy!
