The structure of each episode is similar to the regular
Jeopardy! show. The "Jeopardy!" round is played with clues ranging from 200 to 1000 points, with one Daily Double hidden among them, allowing whoever selects it to wager some or all of their score on the clue. It is followed by the "Double Jeopardy!" round, where clue values are doubled and there are two hidden Daily Double clues. On regular clues, contestants ring in individually, with the host calling on that specific player, and may not confer with each other. An incorrect response by a contestant locks out that contestant's teammates for the remainder of the clue. On Daily Doubles, teammates are allowed to confer on both the wager and the response, with the contestant who selected the Daily Double announcing both. Unlike traditional
Jeopardy!, which is scored in
dollars, all of the games in this tournament are scored in points, just like in
Jep!,
Super Jeopardy!, the first two seasons of
Rock & Roll Jeopardy!,
Sports Jeopardy!, Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time, and
Jeopardy! Masters.
Pop Culture Jeopardy! games include a unique game element called the Triple Play. The board contains one Triple Play clue in each of the "Jeopardy!" and "Double Jeopardy!" round. Each Triple Play clue has three correct responses and begins as a toss-up for all players. When a contestant rings in and provides a correct response, their next teammate (in a preset order) has the opportunity to provide another correct response, rotating through the team until all correct responses are given or an incorrect response is given. When an incorrect response is given, the remaining teams have the opportunity to ring in and begin their own rotation of giving responses. Each correct response is worth the face value of the clue and each incorrect response is worth minus the face value of the clue, so a team can score up to triple the clue's face value. "Final Jeopardy!" is played after the third round. Teams will first receive the category, then wager any amount from 0 to their current score. They then receive the clue and must write their response in 30 seconds. Teams' wagers are added to their score if they were correct, and subtracted if they were incorrect. The team with the highest score at the end of "Final Jeopardy!" wins the game. == Series overview ==
