Mark,
We are playing Jeopardy on another Forum and it is not always a picnic to play, because some people post Answers that stump everyone, then the only way to revive the game is for that person to post an easier Answer.
It is a challenge to come up with Answers, but I have good luck searching for Questions.

Hi Doug,
I don’t think that the lack of response is necessarily a condemnation of the Jeopardy idea. I can’t image most of the characters on this BB passing up a chance to show off their knowledge a little. Try a few questions and see what we get! Just my 2% of a dollar; I’m sure others will disagree—they always do. 8T
Jeopardy Rules:
Go ahead and Google search “Answers & Questions”
It is up to the Player, who posts the Answer, to intervene, when there is an incorrect “Question”, or to move on and try another “Answer”, if everyone is stumped. In order to keep the Jeopardy game from turning into an argument, or discussion session, please PM each other, with your thoughts, requests, or any dialog you want to participate in.
All of the above is from past experience, but Please! feel free to add input if you have any ideas!
Thanks!
