How do Daily Doubles and Final Jeopardy work?

A Daily Double is a hidden tile: the team that finds it bets and plays the clue alone. Final Jeopardy is one last clue after the board, and every team bets on it on paper.

Before you start

Both work on every plan, the free Home plan too. You set them on the Jeopardy setup screen before the board opens. Final Jeopardy needs a set with a final clue. Add one to your own set in the set editor with Add a final clue.

  1. Choose how many Daily Doubles

    On the setup screen, under Daily Doubles, pick None, 1 or 2. The default is 1. Higher rows are more likely, and there are never two in one category.

  2. Turn on Final Jeopardy

    Under Final Jeopardy, turn on Play Final Jeopardy. If the set has no final clue, the page says This set has no final clue. Then select Start the game.

  3. Spot the Daily Double

    Your board marks the Daily Double tile. Only you see this mark. The big screen shows a normal tile.

  4. Take the team's bet

    When a team picks that tile, ask for its bet out loud and enter it, or pick Lowest, Half or True Daily Double. Then select Show the clue. Only that team plays it.

  5. Judge the answer

    Select the Right button to add the bet, or the Wrong button to take it off. A wrong answer always costs the bet, whatever the Wrong answers setting.

  6. Play Final Jeopardy

    After the last tile, Final Jeopardy opens. To finish early, select End Game, then Play Final Jeopardy now. The big screen shows the category, and each team writes its name and its bet on paper. Select Reveal the clue to show the clue and start the 30-second clock.

  7. Reveal the papers

    Select Start the reveal. Teams come up lowest score first, the leader last. Enter each team's bet from its paper, then under Tap what they wrote select its answer. Select Next for the next team.

Tips

  • A team can bet from 5 up to its score or the top value on the board, whichever is higher. So a team at 0 can still bet.
  • In Final Jeopardy a team bets from 0 up to its score. A team at 0 or less bets 0.
  • Final Jeopardy is played on paper, so it needs no phones and works the same offline.

Questions

Can other teams buzz in on a Daily Double?

No. Only the team that picked the tile plays it.

Why is Play Final Jeopardy greyed out?

The set has no final clue. Open the set in the set editor and select Add a final clue: a category, the clue and its answer. A set has one final clue.

Can a team end Final Jeopardy with a negative score?

Only if it was already below zero. A team can bet no more than its score, so a wrong answer takes it to 0 at the lowest.
