Keep the 100-point questions easy and the 500-point ones hard. Beginners stay in, stronger players stay interested.
Match the board to your group
For kids, use the simpler stories and keep the wording short. For adults, add verse references and tougher clues. For a mixed group, keep the low-point questions easy and make the high-point ones harder.
Not every question has to be hard. In Jeopardy the first person to buzz gets to answer, so speed matters just as much as knowing the answer.
Bible Jeopardy FAQ
How many questions do I need?
As many as you'd like — there's no fixed number. You can stick to the classic six categories with five questions each, or build something smaller or bigger depending on how long you want the game to run.
How difficult should the questions be?
Generally, easier is better. Buzzing in first is a big part of Jeopardy, so reaction time ends up mattering as much as actually knowing the answer — and a room has more fun when most people can answer most of the questions, rather than everyone stalling on hard ones.
How can people join my Jeopardy game?
They join with a game code from their own phone or laptop — no app or account needed. That works whether everyone's in the same room or spread across a video call.
How do I turn this into a board I can actually run?
Open the Jippis creator, paste in whichever categories and clues you want to keep, and set a point value per question.
