Could someone please give me a quick idiot's guide to the game? Thanks!What are the rules of Jeopardy?
All 'answers' are in the form of questions.
The person who answered the last question right gets to pick the next question except at the very beginning of the game where the returning champion gets to start off, and at the beginning of double jeopardy where the person with the lowest score gets to start off.
There are two 'boards' full of questions. The first one is 'jeopardy', the second one is 'double jeopardy'. In double jeopardy the questions are a little harder and their values are twice as high. This makes the game more competitive, less predictable, because if you are behind at first you have a better chance of getting ahead in double jeopardy.
At the end is one question called 'final jeopardy' in which all the contestants can bet as much as they like, so the game is still very open unless one contestant has more than twice as much as the other two (which is rare). The idea is that even up to the last minute, anyone can win. Lots of game shows do this to maintain suspense. And since all three contestants answer this question, the answer must be written down.
Also in the single and double jeopardy rounds there are 'daily double' questions. One in single jeopardy, two in double jeopardy. When you hit one of these questions you can decide how much to risk, up to the amount you've won so far or $1000, whichever is more.
With six people you might do better with teams. We play Trivial Pursuit that way and it makes it a lot more interesting because two heads are better than one. Or you could do a tournament where you start with two games, 3 people in each game, and then the winners or the 3 highest scorers play a final round to pick one winner.
Also give some thought to the questions. They should start out easier and then get tougher as you go down the board, and a little harder in the double jeopardy round. The final jeopardy question should not be just the very hardest question you can think of, but should be pretty hard.What are the rules of Jeopardy?
Double jeopardy is when the person comes on the board and asks you a question example a guy comes on a board and talks about blank in a cave coming down. You get to kinda bet and doable the points of that question if you wish.
Final jeopardy is easy simply ask a open ended question and have ever one answer on a piece of paper with there wager of points if they will there points they wagered will be doubled if not they will lose them.
Watch a episode it should be clear
