UPDATE - On April 9th 2019, contestant James Holzhauer, achieved a new single day score record by earning $110,914. (At the time of writing this article, the highest single day score achieved in a game of Jeopardy! Is $77,000 by Roger Craig, in 2010).
The highest achievable score in a single game of Jeopardy! So, by wagering his entire $283,200 the player can double up one more time to get final score of $566,400 The last question of the game allows a player to wager, again, anything up to his current score. Successfully answering the two Daily Double questions will bring the score, at the end of this round, to $70,800 x 2 x 2 = $283,200 Final Jeopardy! So, adding in the score from the Jeopardy! Round, before answering the first of the Double Jeopardy! Daily Double the player would have a score of: $35,600 + $24,000 + $11,200 = $70,800 These squares need to be the last two squares, and also need to have been placed under $400 question squares (the lowest scoring squares on the board). The Double Jeopardy! Round is very similar to the Jeopardy! Round with just two small differences: The first is that all point values are doubled, and the second is that this round contains two Daily Double squares.Īs before, to maximize our score we need to answer all the vanilla questions before revealing the two Daily Double squares. If our player then bets it all on the last question this round he would finish the Jeopardy! Round with a score of $35,600 The Double Jeopardy! Round The total maximum score a player could obtain, before the Daily Double square is encountered is, therefore, $17,800. Thus, by having the Daily Double under the lowest cash value square, we maximize our earning potential of cash before being allowed to double up. * When a daily double is encountered, the player does not obtain the cash value depicted on the square, instead he wagers. The Daily Double square needs to be have been found under a $200 square * The player needs to wager all the money he/she has. The daily double square must be the last question answered. Successfully answering the Daily Double question earns the player the amount of their wager, allowing them to, potentially, double up their score (failing to answer the question loses the player their entire wager).Ĭlearly, to maximize our score we’d want our player to have earned the highest possible score before answering the daily double question, and to maximize our score the following requirements need to be met: When this square is revealed, the contestant can wager any dollar value up to his current balance (or up the value of the highest question on the board whichever is the highest). It does not matter what order the questions are answered in, however there is a subtlety in that one of the squares (selected at random by the show creators) is the Daily Double square. In the first round, there are six categories, each with five different scoring questions: $200, $400, $600, $800, $1000.

If you need a summary of the full rules of the game, read this article. To calculate the highest possible score, it’s assumed that you ring-in first and correctly answer each question, beating out both opponents. There are three rounds in a Jeopardy! Game: The Jeopardy Round, Double Jeopardy and Final Jeopardy. I like to watch Jeopardy! The other night I was wondering just how much money it’s possible, theoretically, to win in a single game.
