Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune games from Sony Pictures Television

Published by at

Sony Pictures Television has published official Windows Phone games for two much-loved US TV game shows: Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. Jeopardy sees you answering trivia questions, but with the caveat that answers must be phrased in the form of an answer. Wheel of Fortune sees you solving word puzzles, similar to those used in hangman.

Jeopardy!

As an official title the Windows Phone Jeopardy game closes matches the style and format of the TV show. A virtual copy of the TV studio is present, along with the familiar graphics and sounds, including a voice over from announce Johnny Gilbert. More than 2,700 clues, from a broad range of categories, are included with the game.

Wheel of Fortune

Like Jeopardy, the official Wheel of Fortune game for Windows Phone, draws heavily of the TV show for its design and implementation (sounds effects, music, graphics). The word puzzles takes the form of a missing letters puzzle. Competitors are required to guess whether a letter in included in an answer, and, if correct, guess the full answer (each playing taking a turn until the puzzle is completed). In Wheel of Fortune the prizes are determined by spinning the wheel, which gives the game its name.
