Have you ever wanted to experience what it’s like to be on Jeopardy!? Here’s your chance (minus the nationwide TV audience and the prize money, unfortunately). At the 2026 IAC National Championships, we will once again be organizing matches for charity. And for the first time at Nationals, adults will be able to take part in 4 of the games as well! Please see the schedule for when the different student and adult blocks for the Jeopardy! Charity Games are on offer.
Each game takes place at a different time (we will make sure you are assigned to a block during which you are not competing in any other competitions) and will feature 5 or 6 students playing at once. Otherwise, the rules of Jeopardy! apply as on the show. Each match costs $65, and all the proceeds will be split evenly between the Rainforest Alliance (for which IAC Executive Director David Madden serves as an ambassador), the Fisher House Foundation (a veterans charity for which David once hiked the length of the USA), and potentially one or two other charities.
