J! Archive: Nearly 350,000 Jeopardy Questions Spanning 34 Seasons

Remember when the Internet was filled with ‘single serving’ websites or websites that just did one thing really really well – and there weren’t ads everywhere? J! Archive is a throwback to what once was, while it continues to be what still is: an almost entirely text-based archive of 34 seasons of the Jeopardy gameshow’s questions & answers. No video. No codecs. No embeds. (Not even a Twitter account.) Only some lightweight JavaScript and text:

(Occasionally there are JPGs for images that were broadcast as clues.)

The J! Archive is created by fans, for fans. The Jeopardy! game show and all elements thereof, including but not limited to copyright and trademark thereto, are the property of Jeopardy Productions, Inc. and are protected under law. This website is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or operated by Jeopardy Productions, Inc. Join the discussion at JBoard.tv.

Simply scroll over the price associated with the column tier question and you’ll reveal the answer. For instance this question was “It’s a little weird to say, but Queens is bounded on the west by this river”:

TIP: the search function is actually incredibly robust and will display a page of answers that you can skim.

So.many.questions.
