This is cool, congrats on launching!

Jeopardy is an extremely popular “playing in Discord with friends” activity in Russia / CIS (called Svoya Igra here, lit. “own game”, or just svoyak for short). I think this is the most popular app of this kind here: https://vladimirkhil.com/si/game

Great Implementation!! Jackbox games are ever more popular with remote work. There's a huge market for games like these.

I think bundling a few of these and selling B2B to corporates as FunFriday activities would bring huge sales.

You should pitch this for the next Chaos Computer Congress. They used to play "Hacker Jeopardy" with some self hosted solution. Yours looks much better.

Chrome+WebUSB should allow supporting Buzz! USB buzzers.

A classic thing I was looking for back when I was doing technical training, well done.

You're going to want to change the wording to "Jeopardy-style" rather than implying that it's a Jeopardy product. I would also recommend changing the default color scheme; it's inviting a lawsuit.

Yeah, the wording is a good point. I'll think about the color scheme.

IANAL but I had one who advised us our Trade Dress was defendable.

Love it! It's not really Jeopardy without the buzzers, is it?
