I thought I’d post some documentation and mechanics to get everyone psyched up for DRUNK JEOPARDY.
\n<\/em>
\n\"\"<\/a>I started with Jeopardy, mostly because of the popularity of Watson. I kept the questions intact, and for the purposes of prototyping and because I’m not that bright, I chose to use the currently airing Teen Tournament. This archive site<\/a> helped a lot, as Jeopardy is not available online to watch (because it’s syndicated.) So that will be our game board.<\/p>\n

Can Jeopardy be made into a drinking game? One that engages a group of people mentally AND physically, while socially drinking? Because I’m not much of a gamer, the impetus for this was to do something I would play, as a pre-game drinking activity before hitting the clubs. I wanted to bring fellowship (see Costikyan) and physicality to the game. Since I’m not a strict gamer, I think I responded most to the Huizinga reading, with Frobenius quoted that play was cosmic. We created a unique environment of festivity and intoxication.<\/p>\n

THE RULES.<\/strong>
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a03-5 players. The fewer players, the more exercises and drinks per person.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0Questions go in order that they were asked on the show, which is random for us. Each player gets one question and then a punishment\/reward. If the player answers correctly, he\/she drinks. If incorrect, there’s a physical challenge.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Each of the 2 game boards is divided into five horizontal levels, with the top level generally considered easiest. For our purposes these levels 1-5 equal the count for beverage consumption as a reward. A 5-count can also be exchanged for a shot or chugging a beer. The 1-5 also equates to the number of reps for the physical challenges.
\n\"\"<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Like reward drinking, the physical challenges are self moderated and can vary in intensity. A few suggestions are: pushups, traveling lunges, jumping jacks, bicycles, crunches, chair dips. We added weights and did some bicep curls and down-and-ups (see Tami, right.) Pushups seemed to be the most active, while jumping jacks were quite a bit easier.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Daily Doubles (Several game elements are endogenous to Jeopardy.) are always a bet of a shot or a 5-rep physical challenge. There are 3 of these on the board.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Final Jeopardy. Each player writes down his\/her answer on a post-it. The bet is a shot, a run around the block, then smoke crack. Generally, it is best to do all three regardless of getting the answer correct.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Finally, you’re ready to go to the club! You’re a bit wasted, you got your muscles pumped for the ladies\/gentlemen, and you have a handful of factoids to sprinkle into casual conversation. Consider yourself well-rounded.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Findings:<\/strong>
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 It’s easy to let the game slow, but it’s more fun if you keep to a question time limit and keep moving forward, despite physical challenges and other game distractions.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Unless you are really clueless, you will probably get fu*ked up playing this game. You don’t have to drink a lot when you count 1-5, or trade a 5-count for a shot (though I repeatedly did just that).
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Jeopardy has a lot of Americanisms in it. During THREE separate game tests, international contestants complained about the bias.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 I would play this again. It’s perfect for the beach, before you go to the clubs. Get pumped up mentally and physically, then drunkenly bring your A-game.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Questions got tougher as we got drunker.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Nerds wind up drinking the most and getting the stupidest, while dummies get the fittest\/hottest and take all the girls\/guys. Everyone wins!<\/p>\n
