BLOOMFIELD, NJ — Bloomfield residents and Jeopardy! fans in New Jersey will have an extra-special reason to tune in to the iconic game show on Wednesday.

Do you think you have what it takes to be a contestant on one of the most challenging game shows in the nation? You can take an online test and audition to get the ball rolling. Learn more here.

Here’s what to expect if you decide to take the plunge, Jeopardy! showrunners say:

“First, you must take and pass the Jeopardy! test. If you pass the test and meet the minimum eligibility requirements, you will be placed into a random selection process for an invitation to an audition. Assuming you perform well at the audition, you will be placed into the contestant pool and could be invited to compete up to 18 months from your audition date. Making it to an audition is not a guarantee of being invited to compete on the show. The same process applies to teens and college students, with each test specific to the next scheduled tournament only.”

Potential contestants are able to submit one Anytime Test per one-year period, and have a limited number of attempts to submit a test during the test-taking period. If another Anytime Test period arises, they can submit one if it has been more than 365 days since the last time they submitted an Anytime Test. If a scheduled Jeopardy! Test occurs within that one-year period, they can take that test as well.
