About Jeopardy trivia

The Jeopardy category is the biggest collection on SMARTICINIG: more than ten thousand hand-picked clues in the style of the famous television quiz show, rewritten as clear multiple-choice questions so you can play them one tap at a time. Each clue gives you a fact, a description or a bit of wordplay, and you pick the answer from four options.

Because the clues come from countless different themes, no two rounds feel the same. One question asks about a Roman emperor, the next about a chemical element, a Broadway musical or a famous line from a movie. After you answer, a short explanation tells you the story behind the fact, so every round teaches you something new.

Jeopardy trivia is perfect for players who like variety and want to test general knowledge rather than one narrow subject. If you play regularly, you will notice favorite themes coming back again and again, and your score will climb with them.

What you'll find

  • World and U.S. history
  • Science and nature
  • Literature and authors
  • Words, language and wordplay
  • Music, film and pop culture
  • Food, sports and everyday life
Tip: Read the whole clue before looking at the options — the last few words often contain the key hint.
