Game play
The game play of this version of Jeopardy! is similar to the original version.
Jeopardy!
The first round has a game board with six categories, each have five clues ranging in value from $20–100. To start the champion picks the category and amount, and the host reads the clue, the first to ring in gets to answer but has to phrase it in the form of a question. A correct response adds the money while it is deducted if it is wrong. If correct the next selection is made until the board is cleared or time runs out. One clue contains Mise du Jour ("Bet of the Day", the equivalent of a Daily Double), which if selected could wager any amount of their current score.
Double Jeopardy!
Gameplay in this round is basically the same as the first except that the values double and two Mise du Jours are hidden as well.
Jeopardy! Final
Only contestants who finish with a positive score get to play. The category is revealed and the contestants must write down their wager during the commercial break. The clue is then revealed and they have 30 seconds to write down the question and again it must be in that form. The responses and wagers are then revealed and the one with the most money wins and comes back the next show. If they win 5 shows, they go on to the Tournament of Champions and retire undefeated.
