Nerd Jeopardy! Online!

I’m fighting self-isolation with a literary trivia show for my fellow book folks. We’ll enact the popular game show on zoom and provide some much-needed levity.

Sign up here to get the password. (Yes, you’ll need a password.)

How does this work? First create a Zoom account and test your microphone and webcam. Sign into the "meeting" five to ten minutes before 8pm. Everyone will compete simultaneously, using the chat window to write answers in the form of a question. Is this a good idea? Probably not! The first correct response to gets the points. There are 25 clues per round, and after two rounds the top three players advance to Final Jeopardy. The winner will be declared, receiving our heartiest applause.

Can I just watch? Sure!

I have money. What should I do with it? We'll highlight a guest author or two in each game. First up: Kevin Nguyen (New Waves) and Chelsea Bieker (Godshot)! We'll also highlight different indie bookstores and ask for donations to the Book Industry Charitable Foundation.

I have questions. I might have answers. Email me.
