How do I make my own Jeopardy game?

Choose Jeopardy, then add your categories and the clues under each one with a point value and an answer. Save it, press Host, put the screen on a TV or projector, and players join with the PIN on their phones.

Can players buzz in from their phones?

Yes, in Buzzer battle mode. Every phone that joins is a buzzer: you open the buzzers once the clue is read, the first buzz gets to answer, and you mark it right or wrong. In Take turns mode nobody needs a phone.

Do players need to download an app or sign up?

No. Players join in the phone's browser with the game PIN and pick a name. Only the host needs an account.

Yes. Playing is free, and you can make, save and host up to 2 games of your own for up to 10 players, including you. Plus adds more games, more images, audio and YouTube clips, private games and rooms of 50 players: a 7-Day Pass for $4.99, or $6.99 a month.

Can I play a board someone else made?

Yes. Any public game in the library can be hosted for free, straight from its page. With Plus you can also copy it into your account and edit the categories or clues.

How a game works

Build the board
Add categories and clues, set the point values, and write the answer for each square. Values are free text, so a themed board can play for sips or chores instead of dollars.
Put it on the big screen
Host from a laptop on the TV or projector. For a buzzer battle, players open pardytime.app on their phones and type the PIN: no app and no account for players.
Pick, answer, judge
A team picks a square and the clue fills the screen. Either that team answers, or the first phone to buzz does. You mark it right or wrong, or let the next team try.

What you get

Take turns or buzz in
Take turns needs no phones at all: teams pick and answer in order. Buzzer battle turns every phone into a buzzer, with a countdown for the team that buzzed first.
One phone per team
Every phone that joins plays as its own team, so a table can share one phone. You can also add teams without a phone and score them from the host screen.
Pictures, audio and video in clues
A clue can be text or an image, and with Plus an audio clip or a YouTube video. Blur or pixelate part of an image to make a picture clue harder.
You stay in charge
Wrong answers lose points unless you switch that off. Adjust a score by hand, cancel a question that went wrong, or hand the pick to someone else.
