TriviaMaker
Build custom Jeopardy-style trivia boards for classrooms, events, and game nights. TriviaMaker turns anyone into a quiz show host.
About This Game
TriviaMaker is the tool for people who want to host their own Jeopardy-style trivia games. Rather than answering questions from a pre-made database, you create a custom game board with your own categories, point values, and questions. The result looks and feels like a professional quiz show, complete with the familiar grid layout, Daily Doubles, and Final Jeopardy rounds.
The platform is especially popular with teachers, trainers, and event organizers. Creating a board is straightforward — you define 3-6 categories, add 3-5 questions per category at increasing difficulty levels, and TriviaMaker handles the presentation. You can include text questions, image prompts, audio clips, or video embeds. The host controls the board on one screen while players or teams buzz in from their own devices.
TriviaMaker also offers templates and a library of community-shared boards, so you do not always need to build from scratch. The free version lets you create a limited number of boards, while the paid tier unlocks unlimited creation and premium templates. For anyone who has tried to recreate Jeopardy in PowerPoint and been frustrated by the effort, TriviaMaker is the purpose-built alternative you have been looking for.
How to Play
Create your game board
Sign up at TriviaMaker and build a Jeopardy-style board with categories, point values, and questions. Or choose from pre-made templates.
Set up teams or players
Divide your group into teams. Each team needs a device to buzz in, or you can manage buzzing manually.
Host the game
Display the game board on a shared screen. Teams select categories and point values, and the host reads the question aloud.
Score and advance
Award points for correct answers. Include Daily Doubles for extra excitement and finish with a Final Jeopardy wager round.
Tips & Strategy
- Keep categories specific enough to be interesting ("80s Action Movies") rather than generic ("Entertainment").
- Scale the difficulty genuinely — 100-point questions should be easy and 500-point questions should make people sweat.
- Test your board once before the live event to catch typos and broken media links.
- Use the timer feature to prevent teams from deliberating too long.
