Game summary

The 2010 version of venerable TV game show Jeopardy! brings Alex Trebek and 2,400 new questions to Nintendo's two major platforms. Both versions allow up to three players to compete in a full episode of the show, with computer-controlled contestants optionally filling in any empty seats. Jeopardy, Double Jeopardy, and Final Jeopardy sections of the show are all recreated, with an authentic virtual recreation of the set, and stat tracking for profiles (including questions successfully answered, lifetime winnings, and more).

Play Jeopardy! on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Jeopardy! on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

Jeopardy! installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Jeopardy! like you would on any PC.
