Fun + Games ... Jeopardy! Goes Interactive on DVD

The Jeopardy! loving fans here at the Audio/Video Buzz team are very excited about the new Jeopardy! interactive DVD game.

While you may think that it's just a DVD that you pop into your DVD player and play along by talking out loud in front of your screen while using your remote to navigate about, this new Jeopardy! game takes it a step...actually,...several steps further: this game tries to take you in a live experience, with Alex Trebek asking the questions, and wireless buzzers for players to use. Here's what's said on the press release:

Hosted by the show’s very own Alex Trebek, the Jeopardy! DVD game system uses exclusive interactive technology to recreate the live experience of America’s Favorite Quiz Show®. Up to three players compete in 20 original “episodes” and answer over 1200 challenging questions -- all read by Alex Trebek. Wireless buzzers allow players to navigate an interactive game board and respond to clues that appear on the TV screen.

Jeopardy!, Sony Pictures Consumer Products and MGA Entertainment worked together throughout the year-long production to ensure that the Jeopardy! fan was considered in each and every element of the game. In addition to Alex hosting, some of these elements include digitally recreating the set, players using individual buzzers and the voice of Johnny Gilbert introducing the game. Many categories also feature video clues by the fan-favorite “Clue Crew” -- a first for a Jeopardy! home game!

With real-time scoring and the chance to wager on Daily Doubles and Final Jeopardy!, the Jeopardy! DVD game is the next best thing to being an actual contestant on the show!
