Real teacher use cases
What's the best classroom Jeopardy game?
The best classroom Jeopardy game is the one whose clues match what your students just learned. The format itself is solved — five categories, six rows of point values, team scoreboards. The win is content tightly mapped to your unit, and a host view that runs cleanly on whatever screen you have.
- 5×5 boards fit a class period — about 15–25 minutes of play.
- 8×8 boards (Plus) handle cumulative semester or AP review in 35–45 minutes.
- Teams of 3–4 students keep more brains engaged than whole-class buzz-in.
- Making every team write the answer before the reveal turns recall into a whole-class exercise.
- Kleveroo's free tier covers unlimited manual boards on a projector, TV, or Chromebook.
What a classroom Jeopardy board looks like
Five categories across, six rows of point tiles down. Project it on the TV, split the class into teams, and run a 20-minute review round. Three team scoreboards with one-tap +/− scoring sit right under the grid.

Frequently asked questions
+What makes a classroom Jeopardy game actually good?
Three things: clues tightly mapped to what students just learned, a format that gives every team a chance to answer (not just the team that buzzes in), and a host view that runs smoothly on whatever screen you have. The format itself is half the work — the other half is content that matches the unit.
+Are Kleveroo's classroom Jeopardy games free?
Yes. The manual builder and host view are free forever, with no credit card. The free tier includes a growing library of community and curated subject boards. Paid plans (Boards $4.99/mo, Kleveroo+ $9.99/mo) unlock AI generation, premium boards, larger 8×8 boards, and visual themes.
+What grade levels do these work for?
Elementary through college. Use 5×5 boards with simpler clues for younger students, and 8×8 (Plus) with denser clues for AP, college, and test prep. The same host view scales across grade levels.
+How long does a classroom Jeopardy round take?
A 5×5 board fits a class period — about 15–25 minutes of play. An 8×8 board (Plus) runs closer to 35–45 minutes and works well for cumulative semester review.
+Do students play on a shared screen or on their own devices?
Both work. The most common classroom flow is one shared screen (projector or TV) with the teacher hosting and students split into teams. Kleveroo also supports live multiplayer rooms where each student joins from their phone or Chromebook with a 4-letter code.
+Can I build a Jeopardy game about my own lesson?
Yes. The free manual builder starts from a blank 5×5 board — you write every category, clue, and answer. With Kleveroo+, the AI generator can take a topic or a PDF lesson plan and produce a draft board you can edit.
+Can I save and reuse boards every year?
Yes. Boards are saved to your account. Duplicate, edit, and re-host them every semester. Many teachers maintain a per-unit library so review week is just "open last year's board."

Free forever for manual boards. Save them, reuse them, share them with your department.
