What is Black history?
Black History Jeoparty flips the trivia format on its head by presenting answers and asking players to give the QUESTION that matches it. For example, if the answer presented is: “1976 is the year this holiday was officially recognized by a U.S. President," the player would respond with, “What is Black History Month?”
Black History & Culture topics include:
- African American Inventors & Innovators
- Historical Events
- Movies, Music and TV... and more!
An engaging host will guide participants through a fun and interactive Black history game show, and screenshare the Jeoparty board with everyone in a video chat. Using a digital buzzer, players buzz in to give answers and score points for their team, gaining points for correct answers in this fast-paced game.
The game culminates in a Final Question wager which can lead to a surprise twist!
