Pop Culture Jeopardy! is a new version of Jeopardy! focusing on nothing but popular culture.
Gameplay[]
The gameplay is the same as the original Jeopardy!, but will have two major differences.
The first difference is that all the clues & categories are devoted to popular culture. The other difference is that the contestants are played in three teams of three, marking this the first version of this franchise to be played with teams. This is similar to the Jeopardy! All-Star Games played in 2019.
Format[]
- As with all tournaments, the scores will be kept in points. The values will still be 200-1000 in the Jeopardy! Round and 400-2000 in Double Jeopardy!
- A total of 81 teams of 3 people will go through a total of 4 single-elimination tournament rounds--The "Knockout Round", the Quarterfinals, the Semifinals and the Final Game--to determine the final winner.
- Any player can ring in on a clue, but they cannot discuss their response with their team, except for Daily Doubles and Final Jeopardy! where collaboration is allowed.
- Along with Daily Doubles, each board will also have one Triple Play, which gives teams a chance to earn up to triple the clue's value if each member of the team can correctly provide one of three possible correct responses. Each correct response adds the clue's value to that team's score. An incorrect response loses the value and allows another team to signal in and give the remaining correct responses.
- A total of three episodes will be posted to Prime Video every Wednesday.
- Because this program is a spin-off, participants from this program may appear on the regular series in the future.
- A grand prize of $300,000 will be awarded to the winning team. Losing teams get consolation cash amounts depending on when they are eliminated ($1,500 in the "Knockout Round"; other amounts TBD).
