Frequently asked questions

Is the PLEJGO Jeopardy maker really free?

Yes — the Jeopardy maker is 100% free. No sign-up, no credit card, no watermark, no question or category limits. Build a full 5×5 board in minutes and host it from any browser.

How do I make my own Jeopardy game?

Choose a board size, name your categories, write a clue and answer in each cell at rising point values, then hit host. The Jeopardy maker handles the board layout, scoring, Daily Doubles, and Final Jeopardy automatically.

Can I create a Jeopardy game with AI?

Yes. Type any topic and our AI will generate a complete 25-question Jeopardy round in under 30 seconds. You can edit every clue and answer before you play.

How do players join the Jeopardy game I made?

After you start hosting, players scan a QR code or enter a 6-character code at plejgo.com/join from any phone. No app, no account.

Can I save the Jeopardy game I made and reuse it?

Every game you create is saved on your device and shows up on your dashboard. You can clone, edit, and replay it whenever you want. Signing in — also free — backs the library up so you can reuse boards from any device.

Does the Jeopardy maker work on iPad and Chromebook?

Yes. PLEJGO runs in any modern browser — Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox — on Windows, Mac, Chromebook, iPad, and Android tablets.

How long does a Jeopardy game take to play?

A full 5×5 board with 25 clues runs about 30 to 40 minutes with three teams. A 3×3 quick game runs about 15 minutes, which fits a class period or a meeting slot.

How many categories and questions should a Jeopardy game have?

The classic format is 5 categories with 5 clues each, for 25 questions. If you have less than 20 minutes, use 3 categories with 3 clues. PLEJGO supports anything from 3×3 up to 6×5.

Do I need PowerPoint or a Jeopardy template?

No. PowerPoint Jeopardy templates need manual hyperlinking for every cell and someone keeping score on paper. PLEJGO builds the board, tracks scores, and runs the buzzers for you in the browser.

How many players or teams can join?

There is no cap on teams, and each player buzzes in from their own phone. Most hosts run three to six teams; classrooms often split into rows or tables.

Can I play Jeopardy remotely over Zoom or Teams?

Yes. Share your screen with the board while players buzz in on their phones — the buzzers work over any network, so remote players are on equal footing with people in the room.

Can I share a Jeopardy game I made with someone else?

Yes. Every board has a share link. Anyone who opens it gets a copy they can host or edit themselves, which is how most teachers pass review games between classes.
