This is a barebones, but still fun, Jeopardy game for dummies and non-Americans.
It works just like regular Jeopardy, except when you buzz in you are presented with 3 possible answers. This is probably blasphemy for Jeopheads out there, but as an Australian with zero knowledge of NFL coaches or dead Vice Presidents, it helps even the playing field for what is an aggressively American show.
There’s online, local multiplayer or you can compete against the computer. I will give online a shot, but I’d be surprised if it is very active. Playing against the computer works well enough. There are three difficulty settings that determine how quickly they will buzz in and how often they will be correct. The “hard” difficulty setting still gives you a beat to beat them at the buzzer, but they will answer every question correctly. It is also fun to attribute personality traits to your artificial competitors. I am SO sick of Robert and his love of Old Testament quotes and the Royal family.

This game lacks Trebek or even a soundalike, which is unfortunate, but it is a nice introduction to a game show that I mostly knew from pop culture references.
