-
1Say, "Alexa, open Jeopardy!" This starts the Jeopardy skill on your Echo device.
- Say, "Alexa, open Teen Jeopardy!" or "Alexa, open Sports Jeopardy!" to access these versions of the game.

2Do your best to answer the questions. After a brief intro, the skill will go right into asking you questions after telling you the category. Be sure to answer in the form of a question or your answer won't be accepted!
- Here's an example question, "The category is: Medical Words and Phrases. This word that starts with 'C' is a fancy word for a bruise." You will now have about 10 seconds to answer. In this case the correct answer is, "What is 'contusion'?" There's no need to say "Alexa" before saying your answer.
- Say "I don't know," if you don't know the answer. If you don't say anything, the game will simply close without telling you the right answer.
- You can say, "Repeat the question" to hear the question again.
