Host checklist
- Choose categories players can understand from the board screen alone.
- Write accepted answers before the game so judging does not slow down the room.
- Test the player display, scoring controls, and final challenge before the group arrives.
- Decide whether teams can steal missed clues and whether wrong answers lose points.
- Prepare one sentence of explanation for each difficult answer reveal.
Mistakes to avoid
Do not make every clue the same difficulty, hide the rules until players are already competing, or use categories that only one person understands. A strong Jeopardy-style game feels fair because players know the rules, the board has a visible difficulty curve, and the host can quickly explain why each answer is correct.
