If you want to get into trivia but are unsure where to start, let this compilation of Jeopardy! questions be your guide. We at Trivia Bliss have collected a whopping 105 questions and answers from the beloved quiz show Jeopardy! to get you on the right track in your trivia journey.
Most of these questions were pulled from the top couple rows of the Jeopardy! board, A.K.A. the $200 and $400 rows (or the $100 and $200 rows if the show aired before November 2001). However, sometimes easier questions sneak into rows worth more money, so we’ve featured a handful of questions from the third row down on the Jeopardy! board, too.
Plenty of these questions would not be so easy without the artful wordsmithing of Jeopardy!’s writers. That’s the beauty of Jeopardy!: The show takes tricky questions and drops some hints in as they write so the answer will be much more obvious to the contestants. This doesn’t always ring true, but often occurs at least a few times per game.
In contrast, other questions have obvious answers but are made harder by more confusing wording. It all depends on the episode and the category—or perhaps just on the writers’ whims that day!
Without further ado, here are 105 favorite easy and fun Jeopardy! questions to help you grow your trivia skills. Let’s get into it!
