Running a classroom Jeopardy game

Put the board on one screen and this timer in a second window or tab. Five seconds keeps the game moving; give younger players the 10-second option. For the final question, everyone writes an answer and wagers while the 30-second clock runs. Track points with the classroom scoreboard.

Frequently asked questions

How long do you get to answer on Jeopardy?

On the TV show, a contestant has about five seconds to respond after being called on, and Final Jeopardy uses a 30-second think period. This timer offers both, plus 10 and 60 second options.

Does this play the Jeopardy theme music?

No. It uses an optional ticking sound for the longer timers and a buzzer at zero, so it is safe to use anywhere.

Can I restart the clock quickly between players?

Yes. Press Enter or the “Restart now” button and the clock starts again from the full time instantly.
