Jeopardy! Platinum now supports Game Center for leaderboards, achievements and multiplayer gaming support even adds push notifications that can be used to notify hardcore players when they change positions on the leader board. While this feature sounds interesting, we were sadly not able to get it working even after testing it on several different iOS devices-the iPad application would simply crash to the home screen when starting the game. A new “Party Game” feature is also included that promises to allow players with an iPad and multiple iPhone or iPod touch devices to display the game on a common iPad, with each player using their own iPhone or iPod touch to play. Jeopardy! Platinum and Jeopardy HD both now provide multiplayer support as well via either pass-and-play on the same device, local Bluetooth or Wi-Fi or online play. Daily Doubles are also present and if the player ends the first two rounds with the most money they will move on the Final Jeopardy. Players choose questions from the board and can respond or pass on any given answer, gaining money for correct answers and losing money for incorrect answers.
The game progresses in much the same way as the TV show, with players working through six categories of five answers each with increasing dollar values. As with the previous version, the questions are presented in a multiple-choice format, removing some of the challenge of the TV show. Both editions provide the classic Jeopardy theme song and background soundtrack that were found in the earlier version.īoth versions remain true to their TV namesake, bringing players through two rounds where they are presented with answers and required to come up with the matching questions. Interestingly, Jeopardy! HD takes a slightly graphical design approach for character avatars, presenting more “cartoony” characters versus the more realistic avatars of the iPhone/iPod touch version. A separate iPad version, Jeopardy! HD ($5) is sold separately and includes most of the same features subject to the limitations of having been developed for iOS 3.2 features such as Game Center integration are naturally missing here.
