Update: we love playing but the categories are redundant. When will the categories be updated and more random? My parents are elderly. Dad is 85, Mom will be 84 in September. Me and my 2 sisters (and random other family members depending on the time/day) visit my parents every Sunday. We have lunch and then we clean up and do whatever. Then my Dad sits down in his chair and says, “Okay, I’m ready”. I cannot tell you how long we’ve been playing this game. Regardless, this game has been a Godsend!!!! First and foremost it stimulates and re-engages my parents’ brains and thought processes. They forget a lot more of day-to-day things, but I swear, this “game”? God sent! They are so smart, makes us kids (ages +50) look like dummies! There have been a few wrong things with the answers and spelling within the game, but I tell you, as much as my folks look forward to Sunday visits, they REALLY look forward to playing this game. (I couldn’t go a couple of weeks ago and they told my sisters to be sure t bring their iPads so they could play without me.) Lastly, this game has brought family together! Even when the grands and great grands visit, we still play Jeopardy (if they don’t want to play, they are excused from the room....seriously!) Thank you to whomever created this game. You have NO idea what a positive impact this has had on my parents lives and the lives of our whole family. It has truly become a weekly ritual. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I like it but…

I really like watching/playing along with Jeopardy. So when I downloaded the app, I thought it’d be like the show. It is in some ways and it isn’t in others.. it’s the same as far as the funny category names, questions, and having two competitors. But it’s different because there are only multiple choice questions (you can’t type an answer), you don’t have to wait for your competitor’s response (which, to me, is a plus), and you don’t have to beat someone to press your buzzer to answer. The graphics are good and it’s fun that you get to go to different virtual locations and play Jeopardy. One of the things I didn’t like about this app was that you have to earn “cash” and pay at least 5k of it to play a game. That makes it very hard to play. You earn at least 12k dollars if you win a game so if you’re good at it, you get your money back and more. But.. if you’re not so great at it (like me) then you have to wait to get more cash to play again. You get payed by watching adds, actually buying money (by the way, the prices are crazy), or waiting to earn cash (you get one dollar every couple seconds). Anyway I really like this game because it’s fun to play when you’re bored, but the major and minor problems I have with it make it kind of hard to enjoy.

They never fix problems

I’ve been playing Jeopardy now for several years. I was the leader of a team, but I quit the team because I feel your games are all predetermined and fake. Here’s why I feel they are predetermined and fake: 1. In all the years that I’ve been playing, not once have I been notified that I have been in a random game versus someone else. Why is that? One would think that maybe even once over the past several years I would have known I was randomly chosen to play in a game? I feel all games are similar. Predetermined and fake. People don’t even know they’re playing because they’re NOT! Your computer is playing for them. 2. Another reason that your games are predetermined and fake. Why is it that in Final Jeopardy, the person in the lead NEVER gets a wrong answer and COULD lose, except ME!! 3. About a year or two ago, for about one week, I never lost a game and my winnings went up many many millions!! How could that happen unless the games are predetermined and fake. Also, whoever I contact you via email I’m always asked to send a screenshot!! But nothing ever happens to fix anything. For example, virtually ever other screen while I’m in the App, I keep getting this “oops something went wrong “ when nothing did. This has been happening for over a year. Not fixed. Fix these issues once and for all and do the games like Words with Friends. LIVE GAMES. That’s the only way we the players will know that there are no shenanigans going on.

Game could be great, but....

I'm a big trivia nerd and watch Jeopardy every single day, so I thought this game would be great. It has potential, but falls short of what it could be. For one, I wish it played more like the real game and instead of points converting into money, you simply played for money. It's hard to know what your points convert to in dollars. And it's absolutely absurd that you can win the entire game and not even break even with how much you paid to play. I understand that the more points you have, the more money you get, but there shouldn't be a situation where you win and don't cover your cost of playing, that's just dumb and clearly trying to get you to have to pay in order to keep playing. I've also only been playing for a couple of weeks now (Level 12) but am already getting a lot of repeat questions. Clearly too, you aren't playing against real people but rather the computer as it never works out that "they" don't make it to the final Jeopardy round - they always manage to eek out some points at the end, even getting more than one double jeopardy in a round when I've always only gotten one at most. The game is just ok. The developers could make some improvements to make so much better and not have players feel like they're just trying to make us pay for being able to play. I'd rather pay a set fee to "buy" the game then have it nickel and dime me along the way.

Don’t give any money to this game, it’s just a scam.

I enjoy the challenging questions and gameplay of this game more than any other mobile trivia game I’ve tried. However, it’s virtually impossible to advance or even do well in this game without spending actual money because it is too difficult to raise enough in-game money to actually play more than once a day. Only rarely do you win more money in a game than you pay to play it. I could win 10 games in a row (which would already be very hard to do), and even then I would have less money than when I started, because if you pay $5000 to pay you will likely only “win” ~$4500. So now I have to raise $80,000 to play a single game on the level that I’ve reached, but if I don’t win I probably won’t be able to play that level again for several days because I have to wait for my bank to fill back up. So disheartening to lose the whole bank that you’ve saved up for days in a matter of 3 minutes. This game is set up for everyone to lose constantly, in one way or another. I know Jeopardy is based on wagering, so there should always be an element of risk, but this feels almost predatory when I just want to play trivia for fun. Changed my review from 2 stars to 1 when I read more reviews and realized that everyone already agrees with me. This developer is downright dirty for not changing something that so many people have complained about for YEARS.

Great game

Love the game it is fantastic! Tons of categories and questions. Rarely do you see a duplicate question. Lifelines make the game fun because most of us are not human encyclopedias. They can get a little carried away with the shoving challenges down your throat and the constant showing your standing is unnecessary. I wish I could shut off the people challenging me and my standings. I don’t care about either of those but I have to click through them each time I log in. They love to try and force you to sign on with Facebook. I refuse to do it but lately every. Single. Time. I log in I have to hit cancel because it is trying to force me to sign in with Facebook, starting to really frustrate me, if I haven’t done it by now I am not interested in doing it! Sadly I really like the game BUT if one of these days I accidentally hit confirm instead of cancel on the force Facebook login I will immediately delete the app and not down load it again. That’s why I am giving 3 stars, don’t try and force stuff on me if I have clearly said no. I send money on the game, so I get to choose what I do on it. Honestly I considered the monthly subscription till they started that force Facebook sign in. For the developers seriously guys stop with the repeated request, let us click yes or no once.

it’s my first playing in online game and I watched Jeopardy understand every night on TV I love Jeopardy! however this game is so hard to understand there’s not enough directions on how to play it I have no clue about the points in dollars and know when you’re playing against somebody you’re not and yeah I have never played any game online but I’ll tell you this one just makes no sense to me I just enjoy being able to answer questions correctly makes me feel smart feels good if ever I can raise my status but I have no idea how to win more or raise my points more just isn’t clear there’s not enough direction. And capital letters don’t biggest thing I noticed is on final Jeopardy there’s absolutely no time to both read the question and think about it and answer compared to the TV program the amount of time you have to answer is half and I feel like that’s completely unrealistic and unfair to the player I’ve enjoyed playing but I don’t know how much longer will it needs to be set up differently needs to be a lot more user-friendly and I was shocked to know that you were asked actually asking for more money in order to play more I didn’t realize games operated that way otherwise it’s fun to have jeopardy and playing sometimes I just wish I knew more about how to play itIt definitely is not explained well at all from start to finish how to play thank you

Completely rigged!!

This is super fun when you first start… I won seven in a row then 10 in a row, and was sucked into buying extra gold bars in cash because then you are trying to just keep your status As you climb the ladder to different cities, yet they cost a hell of a lot more for work basically zero progress unless you put money into it!! That’s how you’re able to play only if you have enough money. My biggest issue and problem; However, the game is completely rigged as far as the questions you answer... I know this for a fact because I purposely did not answer any Shakespeare questions so every single time I started to play the game Shakespeare questions appeared. After you have put in money all of a sudden you get categories that the game realizes you are not adept to answer as proficiently as you are others so, consequently you’re fighting a losing battle because it particularly picks the Categories, and sets you up for failure knowing that you were not well suited for the (certain categories you’re not proficient) those are the only categories it gives you! That becomes extremely frustrating! Don’t waste your money, and just play for fun… Do not buy anything it’s just a set up and you will then find yourself with categories consistently that you are Not well-versed in, and then becomes frustrating to no end!!

I don’t understand

I’ve won a good amount of times, and sometimes I win by a lot. But I’ve never gotten any more than 3k when I win. Which is ridiculous considering I’m spending 5k-10k to play a round. How does that make any sense and how does this game have good reviews? Supposedly you can win up to 40k on one and 80k on the second one I unlocked. But i can’t even make enough back to play another round when I do win. What a waste of time. And I’m assuming it’s possible I’m not making very much because even though I’ve won I have a “low amount of points still” but I should atleast have enough to play again. Seems like you win and get no reward. I’m also not the only one with this problem, my boyfriend mentioned it as well and we enjoyed playing against each other but at the end of the day it’s not worth it and there’s tons of other games that we can play against each other and actually play the actual game as well. Obviously the game isn’t terrible, and it probably doesn’t deserve only one star, I enjoyed it while it lasted, but I don’t see why I would keep this downloaded if I can’t even play most of the time even when I'm winning. Hopefully they’ll get a better payout system for people who do win, whether they have a lot of points or not. Because I don’t want to wait around forever to get free cash just to win and not be able to play again until I can get more free cash.

Very Upset after $20 gold bar purchase changed my app!!

Cannot seem to find a way to contact customer service or I wouldn’t be writing a bad review and instead would’ve given Sony a chance to fix my issue. Unfortunately, this is the only way for me to hopefully get attention and my account working again. Developers, Please Please Please contact me. After purchasing Gold bars I now have no way to earn gold bars or cash. This is upsetting as the game progresses it requires more of both just to play a game. Forget completing daily goals, I’m lucky if I get to play a game a day. Please, someone help. I’d love to change my review to 5 stars. Again, apologies for my method of contact in attempts to change this. I hope we can resolve this issue in a fair and timely manner. I would have never spent that much actual money had I known certain features would’ve been taken away. I feel there should be a warning about that. Is there really even a way to play this game without spending money on it?? It’s rigged a little unfairly in my opinion. But I’m not deleting it until I give you all a chance to make it right. The way Customer Service handles this will have the power to change my whole experience. Hoping for a better experience... Also, there was an error in the beginning where it merged my 2 accounts?? That was weird. Just remembered that as I was writing this. Thanks in advance.
