It seems there are tons of ways to make Jeopardy style games online. Usually these techniques force PowerPoint or Google Slides to do things they aren’t designed to do. Then along comes JeopardyLabs.

JeopardyLabs allows you to create your own Jeopardy style games for free and without having to create an account. The site offers a $20 lifetime account that offers additional features.

To get started, navigate to JeopardyLabs and click the create. Next, the site will ask you for a password. This password is used to edit the game. If you lose the password, you will never be able to edit the game again. There are tons of already created Jeopardy games. You can also copy (the site uses the term clone) those games and edit to your liking. That’s an easy way to get started.

Once your game is complete, you can play the game in class or over video conferencing.
