- Block: click it to show the question.
- Hint: reveals the hint.
- Answer: reveals the answer.
- Check: adds that block's points to a team.
- X: takes that block's points away from a team.
- Reset: clears everything so you can start over.
How Scoring Works
Every row on a Jeopardy! board starts at 100, goes up to 200, and tops out at 300. That's the order I built it in, and it's the order you'll see on screen, so the easy questions sit at the top and the hard ones sit at the bottom. It isn't the 200, 400, 600 style you may be used to from the TV show, and I wanted the numbers to be simple enough that nobody has to do the math twice during game night.
Daily Doubles are where things get exciting. Drag a Daily Double block onto any spot and that block's points double when it's played. Scoring is just as direct: press the check to give a team that block's points, or the X to take them away. Whatever the amount on the block is, that's exactly what the check adds or the X removes, so hosts can trust the totals and teams can see the rules at a glance.
Daily Doubles double the points on the block they sit on, and the check and X keep every team's score honest.
