Final Jeopardy

Last quiz question

Final Jeopardy is the concluding round of the television quiz show *Jeopardy!*, where contestants wager some or all of their winnings on a single answer-and-question.

Unlike regular play, contestants write their responses privately and reveal them simultaneously.

The term has become shorthand for any decisive final challenge: It all comes down to Final Jeopardy.
