Introduction:
Jeopardy! is the PS3 port of the popular TV game show. This is also a direct port of the Wii game that came out a few years ago. In regards to trophies, the game is very straight forward but does require some grinding.

**NOTE** I will note, that all of the questions on the game are directly pulled from the TV show. The website J! Archive catalogues all the questions and answers from previous TV shows. You can use the search function on this site to "cheat" and look up the answers for your categories ahead of time. I strongly recommend for at least your first 3 games, that you use this website to answer every question correctly as this will unlock the overwhelming majority of the trophies within your first 3 games.

Walkthrough:

Step 1 (Play a few games to get to $1M earnings):
There are 3 trophies that have to do with winning a game on each difficulty (Easy, Medium, and Hard), however, playing your first game on "Hard" will unlock the other three (credit to MikeKeese for testing that). The main difference between the difficulties is AI speed of buzzing in, and on Medium/Hard you must manually enter answers. On Easy, all the answers are available in Multiple Choice format. Once you've won a game on Hard, just keep playing on Easy. If you are using J! Archive to answer every question correctly, you should be able to get to $1M within 3-5 games.

During your first few games, you should be able to unlock the following without much effort:
That is Correct!
Showoff
We Have a Champion!
Dressed Smartly
Daily Double winner
No Brainer
Clue Solver

What is the Correct Response?

Thinking Ahead
A $25K Game!
It Really Pays Off!
Quick on the Buzzer
I Never Guess
A $35K Game!
What a Pay Off!
Know It All
Category Expert

Step 2 (Play Online):
Once you've got the general gist of the game, now you can go online to get the only 2 trophies required online:
Challenge Accepted
Welcome to the Winner's Circle

GLITCHED TROPHY ALERT: In order to achieve Challenge Accepted, you must HOST the online game. If you join another game, it will not unlock.

Because this game is not super-popular, it can be very difficult to find a random opponent online. I highly recommend using the Trophy Boosting Thread. The other option is to have a second controller option join your game, that way you only need to find one random opponent online.


Step 3 (Grind to 50 Wins):
The most time-consuming part of this game is undoubtedly getting to 50 Wins. Each game takes roughly 20-30 minutes, so you can expect this to take you a while. On your way to 50 wins, you will unlock:
Clue Master
Returning Champion
Sweep Week
Still the Returning Champion
Jeopardy Pro!
Jeopardy! Champ
Jeopardy! Master

Step 4 (Clean Up):
Most likely, if you've gotten to 50 games and still don't have Platinum, the only trophy you'll probably be missing is How Did You Know?. This is a completely random trophy that can be a royal pain. See guide for more details.

  • Win a game on Easy difficulty

    Stackable trophy, see Know it All for more information.

  • Finish an online game

    GLITCHED TROPHY
    To earn this trophy, you MUST HOST an online game. Visit the Trophy Boosting Thread to find a partner, and once the game finishes, your trophy will unlock.

  • Respond to five clues correctly

    Simply answer 5 questions correctly. If you are using J! Archive to answer every question correctly for an entire game, you will have no problem.

  • Simply finish an online game as the winner. Visit the Trophy Boosting Thread to find a boosting partner.

  • Win five games

    Requires 5 Wins, see Jeopardy! Master for more details.

  • Finish a category with the correct response

    When there is only 1 question of a category remaining, select that question and answer it correctly.

  • Respond correctly after someone does not

    Quickest way to get this is to have 2 controllers. Have controller 2 intentionally miss a question, and controller 1 buzz in after and correctly answer it.

  • Requires 10 Wins, see Jeopardy! Master for more details.

  • Solve the highest dollar value clue in a category first

    The "traditional" method of playing jeopardy is to start at the lowest dollar amount and work your way down to the highest. For this trophy, simply select the $1000 clue first (or $2000 if you're in Double Jeopardy) and answer it correctly.

  • Answer Final Jeopardy! correctly with a $0 wager

    Final Jeopardy! is the third round of the game. In this round, you will place a wager of your money based on your knowledge of the category. Simply wager $0, then answer the clue correctly.

  • Win $5,000 in one game

    Must win $5,000 in a single game, see A $35K Game! for more details.

  • Become a Minigame Champ

    **Requires 2 controllers or an online partner**
    Mini-Games are the "Commercial Breaks" between the Jeopardy!/Double Jeopardy! rounds and the Double Jeopardy!/Final Jeopardy rounds. To enter a minigame, you must have 2 user players in your game. Use a second controller and make sure at the "Start Game Lobby", you have the "Multiplayer Minigame" option turned "ON".

    See Ultimate Minigame Champ! for more detail.

  • Play every minigame

    **Requires 2 controllers or an online partner**
    Mini-Games are the "Commercial Breaks" between the Jeopardy!/Double Jeopardy! rounds and the Double Jeopardy!/Final Jeopardy rounds. To enter a minigame, you must have 2 user players in your game. Use a second controller and make sure at the "Start Game Lobby", you have the "Multiplayer Minigame" option turned "ON".

    See Ultimate Minigame Champ! for more detail.

  • Respond to five clues correctly in a row

    Answer 5 questions correctly in a row without answering one incorrectly. Again, if you are using J! Archive this won't be an issue.

  • Respond to every clue in a category

    A Category is the vertical column on the board. This trophy requires you to buzz in on all 5 questions in a single category.

  • Pick the Daily Double before any other clues are revealed

    This will probably be the most frustrating trophy on the list. The Daily Doubles are randomly assigned to 1 of the 30 squares on the board (2 Daily Doubles in Double Jeopardy), and this trophy requires you to select one of these squares first. My personal strategy was to always select the highest $ value on the second category from the left and I eventually got it on my 13th game.

  • Win 25 games

    Requires 25 Wins, see Jeopardy! Master for more details.

  • Win $10,000 in one game

    Must win $10,000 in a single game, see A $35K Game! for more details.

  • Win $100,000 total

    Cumulative trophy, see What a Payoff! for more information.

  • Win all Daily Doubles in a single game

    There are 3 Daily Doubles in each game of Jeopardy! One in the first Jeopardy! round, and 2 in the Double Jeopardy! round. If you are playing by yourself with no AI, you will automatically get all 3 selected and you can use J! Archive to get the correct answers.

  • Wager everything and respond to a Daily Double correctly

    When you have found a Daily Double and it's time to wager, select the "MAX" option to wager everything you have. Once you answer correctly, you will double your winnings, making it a "True Daily Double".

  • Be the only one to respond to Final Jeopardy! Correctly!

    If you are playing by yourself with no AI, once you answer the Final Jeopardy question correctly, the trophy will pop since you are the only contestant.

  • Respond to all Clue Crew clues correctly in a game

    Clue Crew clues are when you see a random character give you the clue, rather than Alex Trebek reading it directly off the board. If you are using J! Archive, as long as a Clue Crew appears, you shouldn't have any issues.

    **NOTE** Clue Crews do not appear in every game, but most. If you don't get one in your first or second games, just keep playing, eventually you'll get it.

  • Win every minigame

    **Requires 2 controllers or an online partner**
    Mini-Games are the "Commercial Breaks" between the Jeopardy!/Double Jeopardy! rounds and the Double Jeopardy!/Final Jeopardy rounds. To enter a minigame, you must have 2 user players in your game. Use a second controller and make sure at the "Start Game Lobby", you have the "Multiplayer Minigame" option turned "ON".

    This trophy requires you to win each type of minigame throughout your entire career (not one game). There are 3 minigames:
    -Point it Out
    -Stumpers
    -Correct Order

  • Respond to ten clues correctly in a row

    Answer 10 questions correctly in a row. If you are using J! Archive, this will be no issue.

  • Wager it all in Final Jeopardy with a correct response

    Once you reach the Final Jeopardy! round and it's time to wager, click the "MAX" option to wager everything you have. Once you answer correctly, the trophy will unlock.

  • Correctly respond to all five clues in a single subject

    The subject in question in the trophy description is the Category (the vertical column on the board). Answer all 5 questions in a single category correctly to unlock the trophy. If you're playing by yourself with no AI and using J! Archive, this won't be an issue.

  • Win a game on Medium difficulty

    Stackable trophy, see Know it All for more information.

  • Win $25,000 in one game

    Must win $25,000 in a single game, see A $35K Game! for more details.

  • Win $250,000 total

    Cumulative trophy, see What a Payoff! for more information.

  • Be the first to respond to every clue on a board

    A single board is a single round (IE Double Jeopardy). There are 30 questions on each board, and this trophy requires you to be the first person to buzz in to each question. If you're playing by yourself and not using AI, you'll get this automatically as long as you buzz in to each question.

  • Complete a game without entering any incorrect responses

    For this gold trophy, you must not enter an incorrect answer. You don't necessarily have to buzz in for every question, you just can't make a mistake. Use J! Archive to ensure you don't make any mistakes. If for some reason you are given a clue that isn't on J! Archive, just don't buzz-in.

  • Win $35,000 in one Game

    This is a stackable trophy that will unlock all previous "A $X Game!" trophies under it. You need to finish a single game with a final $ total of $35,000 or more. This is very simple and it's possible to finish games with $200K or more in a single game.

    I would suggest for your first game using J! Archive to answer every single question correctly as that will help you unlock a large number of trophies, including this one.

  • Win $1M total

    This trophy requires you to have a lifetime earnings of $1,000,000. Using J! Archive to answer every question in a game correctly can help you net $200-$350 in a single game, so this won't take long at all. You can check your progress in the "Player Stats" screen under the "Extras" menu.

  • Win a game on Hard difficulty

    At the "Start Game Lobby", make sure the difficulty setting is set to "Hard". Hard difficulty requires you to manually enter answers, rather than having multiple choice options.

    This trophy does stack with the other difficulty trophies Thinking Ahead and No Brainer.

  • Win 50 Games

    The most time consuming part of this game. You must win 50 games over your career. This includes any online wins you rack up as well.

    At any point, you can visit the "Player Stats" screen under the "Extras" menu to see where you are at.

    Some tips:
    -Use a single user player and turn off the AI Players. Even though there's only 1 contestant, it still counts as a win.

    -My personal strategy was to use J! Archive to get myself to just over $10K as quickly as possible (to speed things up for Jeopardy! Champ!), then "PASS" on every answer by pressing . The animations for when you "PASS" take less time than you buzzing in, answering, and having the celebration after your answer. It may only shave off a few seconds per answer, but in the long run it's worth it.

    -Another strategy I have used when I was bored of playing, was start a game, answer one of the questions correctly, then let the CPU timer auto-select all my questions for me. You'll notice there is a timer that counts down when you're supposed to be selecting a category. Once that reaches 0, it will auto select one for you. This method allows you to not be at your screen for the game, and you can do other things like watch TV. It will GREATLY increase the time it takes to 50 wins, but doesn't require your immediate attention.

  • Respond to 200 Clues Correctly

    Simply answer any 200 clues correctly. Using J! Archive to work towards What a Pay Off! will let you unlock this trophy during your 4th game (Each game has 60 clues).

  • Acquire all contestant clothes and logos

    There are 43 different articles of clothing and logos to be unlocked on your way to Platinum. You can earn these items in 2 ways:
    1)Win a game with more than $10K
    2)Win a mini-game

    If you're going for platinum, just make sure that each game you win you have at least $10K and this will come over time. If you're looking to speed things up for this one trophy in particular, play each game with 2 controllers and Minigames "On".

    *NOTE* You do NOT need the Concept Art prizes for this trophy, just the clothing items/logos.

  • Win five games in a row

    This will unlock once you have won your fifth game in a row. If you are playing with only 1 user and no AI, it's impossible to not win a game unless you end up in the negative range.

  • Respond to Clues Correctly from 25 categories

    There are 6 categories in each round of Jeopardy! and Double Jeopardy!. If you are using J! Archive to get every answer correctly, this will unlock during your 3rd game.
