For the office party and the family table
Holiday parties often mix people who don't know each other well, like coworkers' partners or the in-laws. A game in teams gives everyone something to do together, and holiday trivia is something everyone knows a bit about.
A buzzer on every phone
Guests join with a code and buzz from their own phones. Family who couldn't make it home this year can play along over a video call.
Name that Christmas song
Play the first few seconds of a carol or a holiday hit, and see which team names it first. Add a clip from a Christmas movie for a movie round.
Your party. Your board.
Fill it with carols, movies and family traditions, and let the teams go for it.
Create a JeopardyMore than a quiz game
Jippis is a social game where everyone talks and argues about the answers together. A great way for coworkers' partners and the in-laws to get to know each other :)
Final Jeopardy to finish
Teams bet their points on one last question, so the team in last place can still win the night. Perfect right before the countdown to midnight.
Frequently asked questions
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.
How long does a game take?
A board with five categories and five questions each usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. Make it smaller if the game is one of several things happening that night.
