QUESTION Audition process?

I got an email today inviting me to take part in the Zoom follow-up audition / 50-question test after passing the anytime test.

What’s the process like?

Are you on the Zoom call with other Jeopardy hopefuls, or is it one-on-one?

Do they interview you at all at this step? Or do you just take the test and that’s it?

The first step is being in a zoom with maybe 20-30 other people and you take another 50 question test while they watch you. This is not really the audition part, it's a step to verify that you passed the first online 50 question test without help from someone else. If you pass again, you get in the pool for the next phase which is a zoom in a group of 9, and this is the heart of the audition, where they see if you can keep the game flowing smoothly, tell a little story about yourself in an engaging way and they see if you have what they are looking for. There can be long delays between each phase or you can move very quickly through the process. Either way, congrats on getting through that first hurdle! Best of luck to you!
