Installation

Unfortunately, jService.io, which is the third-party service from which Trebekbot sourced the questions and answers, has shut down permanently. As such, Trebekbot no longer works and cannot be installed. Thanks for playing!

Usage

After installing the bot, invite it into one or more channels with /invite @trebekbot. Pro-tip: Create a new channel (for example, #jeopardy) just for this purpose, to avoid creating a huge distraction in other channels.

After that, simply mentioning "@trebekbot" will start a new game in the current channel.

You can also say:

  • "@trebekbot my score" to see your current score
  • "@trebekbot leaderboard" or "@trebekbot scoreboard" to see the top scores
  • "@trebekbot help" to see a list of commands
