Players are presented with topical answers. They must ring in using their ring-in button and respond in the form of a question.
If they respond correctly, they are awarded the money value associated with the answer. If they respond incorrectly, the money value associated with the answer is deducted from them.
Play continues through two rounds and ends with a Final Jeopardy! question, where the player can wager all or nothing on a final clue. The player with the most money at the end of Final Jeopardy! is the winner.
The Main Menu
This is where you start games and set game play options. To navigate through the screens, simply use the up and down directional buttons. To make a selection, press the button. To "back up" at any time, press the button.
Normal Play
In normal play, you compete against other players or computer players to win as much money as you can. Select this item to start a "normal" game with up to 3 human or 2 computer players.
Each player must have their own controller. For three players, you will need to use the multi-tap optional accessory and have 3 controllers.
Next, using the up and down directional buttons and the button, select either "1, 2 or 3" for the number of human players. Computer players will be automatically added accordingly, to total a three-player game. All games must have at least one human player.
You will then be prompted to enter player names. In a game with one human player, computer players will be labeled as "Player 2" and "Player 3." In a game with two human players, the computer player will be labeled as "Player 3." In a game with three human players, there are no computer players.
If you want to challenge yourself to a complete game in which you test your wits alone against the Jeopardy! content, set up a normal game of 3 human players. When it is time to ring in and respond, play as one of the 3 players and leave the other two players alone. In this type of play, you can experience uninterrupted play through an entire game in standard format.
Entering Player Names
When prompted, you will have the choice of entering a new player name or using the default name of Player 1 (or Player 2 or Player 3, depending on the game).
New Player Names
To enter your name, you can use either the digital or analog controller to "script" your name into the Jeopardy! podium. To draw, hold the R1 button and move the left analog joystick control or the directional buttons.
Pressing the L1 button and moving the left analog joystick or the directional buttons deletes portions of the drawn area. Press the button to clear the scripted area. When finished, press the button.
Speed Game
Select this item to start a single-player game. Refer to Entering Player Names above on how to enter your name.
Speed Game gameplay takes place on a single Double Jeopardy! board (values $200 to $1000) of 30 clues and includes Daily Doubles. You play alone and may select from any of the available clues.
Once a clue is revealed, you do not have to respond to it. If you wish not to respond, you may pass and then view another clue. Play is stopped when all 30 clues have been viewed. If you attain a top 3 score, it will be posted on the Speed Game
