How Do You Play Bridal Shower Jeopardy?
Here are a few frequently asked questions about Bridal Jeopardy:
What is wedding Jeopardy? How do you play Bridal Jeopardy
Wedding Jeopardy (or Bridal Jeopardy) is a game that is based on the popular TV game show Jeopardy (formerly hosted by Alex Trebek).
Split your guests into 3 teams. Each team will get a buzzer (they can use one on their phones or you can grab one of these or one of these from Amazon if you want it to be more like a real game)
Typically there are 4-5 different categories that are wedding-related. Each category has 5 different questions ranging from $100-$500 ($100 being the easiest and $500 being the hardest).
Players or teams take turns getting questions for the dollar amount and category that they want. Once the questions are read, any one of the teams can buzz in to answer, so it pays to be quick with the buzzer.
If they get the answer right, they get that dollar amount added to their total. If they get the answer wrong, they lose that dollar amount from their total.
At the end of the game, teams or players can wager as much as they want (from their total) for the final Jeopardy question.
The team or player with the most money after Final Jeopardy is the winner.
