A game for Jeopardy! fans

What Jeopardy! is

Jeopardy! is the long-running American quiz show where clues hide behind dollar values on a board of six categories, and contestants must phrase every response as a question. It rewards wide knowledge and a quick buzzer finger.

What Jeopardy! fans will like in Icillion

• Wide knowledge pays: geography, history, science, culture, screen and words, the spread of a Jeopardy! board.
• Prompts for people who know a lot: Chinese dynasties, laws of physics, straits, Shakespeare’s characters.
• A round a day you can finish in three minutes, like one board.

Where they differ

Jeopardy! has one right response per clue and pays for speed. Icillion prompts have dozens or hundreds of right answers and pay for depth: the more obscure your correct answer, the more it scores. And you never have to phrase it as a question.
