Jeopardy!*
One player acts as the "Emcee" for two to four other players. The game features five categories, each with five dollar amounts that correspond to a clue or answer related to the category. Players signal when they believe they know the answer, responding in the form of a question. Correct responses earn players the corresponding dollar amount, while incorrect ones incur a penalty.
The process is repeated for "Double Jeopardy" with new categories and doubled stakes. Special "Daily Doubles" in both rounds allow players to wager part or all of their winnings on their answers. Finally, "Final Jeopardy" features a high-stakes question where players secretly wager their winnings before revealing their answers. The player with the most money at the end wins. The editions from Parker Brothers and Outset Media include the same number of categories as the TV show, reflecting its structure in the gameplay.
