Jump-in Jeopardy!

about 7 years

Who's the smartest in Sandbox? TV's toughest trivia competition comes to Epicmafia--can YOU beat it?

Rules

Six categories. Each category has five questions, or "clues". The easiest ones are worth $400.

Somebody picks a category and a dollar amount. The clue is revealed. First person to buzz in and correctly answer it wins the amount and gets to pick again. Get it wrong, you lose that amount.

You must phrase your responses in the form of a question. ("Who is..?.", "What is...?", etc.)

When you buzz in, you must also include your pick for the next category.

Daily Doubles

Two clues are "Daily Doubles". The player who picks it gets a special clue only they can answer; they choose how much of their score to bet.

Final Jeopardy!

At the end of the game players can bet part of their score on one final clue. Everybody answers via PM instead of buzzing in.

Highest score at the end wins the game.

Jumping in

If you know the answer, just buzz in before anybody else does. You should be able to jump in and out of the game at pretty much any time without too much trouble.

  • If a revealed clue is not answered within 10 minutes, we'll just move on to the next clue down in the category. If it's the last clue in the category, we'll go to the top of the next one.
  • If you pick a Daily Double but don't wager within 10 minutes, your bet defaults to 1/2 your score.
  • If a Daily Double isn't answered in 10 minutes, it counts a wrong answer.

Prizes

  • 1st place: 40 tokens
  • 2nd place: 20 tokens
  • 3rd place: 20 tokens
  • Door prize: Everybody with at least one correct response will be entered in a random drawing for 20 tokens.

For the door prize: 400+800+7200 equals 8400.

I'll use random.org to generate a number from 1 to 8400.

If it's 1-400, bane wins
If it's 401-1200, somethingwhatever wins
If it's 1201-8400, sana wins

Somethingwhatever had $400.
What is saw?
HOLY COW THAT'S THE RIGHT ANSWER HOWEVER DID YOU GET THAT

And wagered... $400, doubling up to $800

Bane had $800. He didn't respond in time to the wager, so he gets the default bet of 1/2 your score.
He missed the answer, so he drops to $400

Joga had $2000. They bet it all on "Lost". Nope, sorry
