Jeopardy Studio

The Jeopardy Studio is a building located in Sector 4, within the borders of San Escobar, southwest of Santo Subito. Coined up by ParrotAntics as the main designer, it was in February and March 2020 built by Parrot himself, as well as other players like BeomJunKoo and BUFFbeard. 
Its name derives from the American quiz show Jeopardy!, which is run since 1964First debut of the format worldwide, hosted in the years 1964-1975 by Art Fleming, the version most people know is aired since 1984, and was hosted by Alex Trebek until his death in December 2020. and is one of Parrot's favourite quiz show formats.
== Overview ==
From the outside the building resembles a giant custom opera house, having an enormous banner with lookalike quiz show name built to resemble the original font of the logo. The first thing visitors see inside is a foyer, containing the cloakroom compartment, ticket office, and the cafe on the first floor. On the second floor, it has two rooms described as "audition rooms", which resemble rather typical classrooms in schools. The central part of the building is a stage, consisting of three-player sets, the host set, and the clue board, designed to mimic the style of the scenography used in the show in the years 2017-2020. To give the theatrical vibe - an audience seating was placed, in order to allow people watch the game live. At the back of the stage a staff compartment is set - there are rooms prepared for service of command blocks, costume change rooms, the make-up rooms, as well as the director's office.
=== Clue Board ===
The clue board resembles in style the board from the show, having 30 "clue screens" and 6 "category screens". Due to Minecraft's nature, the category screens are wooden boards with categories written on them, and clue screens are just plain wooden buttons which trigger the command block with "say" command. Values for the clues are displayed on the sides of the construction. Each command block has a clue written in its memory. Under certain command blocks, a Daily Double command can be hidden - in this case, the clue is presented from the host's podium. Due to the fact studio is designed to host full length of the game, there are two variants of clue board: one for Jeopardy! round, and second for Double Jeopardy! round. In late 2020 Parrot implemented the switch circuit to allow switching the boards in order to provide the material for the game in full length. To avoid confusion he marked the boards to determine which switch should be used, along with piston-based protection relays.

=== Host podium ===
The host podium stands in the central part of the scene, it has a size of 3x3x1 cuboid and hosts 5 command blocks. Three of them are described as Daily Double Clues - those are used in case of Daily Double being triggered on the clue board. Latter two are destined for Final Jeopardy! round - one presents the category of the final round, and the second one contains a clue.
=== Contestants' podiums ===
There are 3 contestants' podiums, each one has a 3x3x1 layout, but they are merged together to form a single getup. In order to provide functionality, each podium has two boards at the front - lower one shows the contestant's name, while the upper presents the contestant's account during the game. To allow players to call for an answer, each podium has a button-triggered lamp. Because of close proximity of the lamps, there is no trigger-lock button for opponents - the host has to judge which player has called first. In order to hold the Final Jeopardy! round, each contestant has two command blocks for their needs - one is prepared to save information about the player's bid for the final clue, and the other is for the answer.

== Trivia ==
* Due to Parrot's inexperience with placing command blocks, the plans for timed background switch for Final Jeopardy! round are set in an undisclosed future.
* In 17. April 2020 Parrot added his own statue in the front lower corridor to create the Gallery of Champions. By this he wanted to commemorate every UMS player who has managed to win local version of Jeopardy!, as Parrot himself became a 2-day champion in Polish local version of the showHis games were aired in Polish public TV channel TVP2 on 8, 9. and 14. April 2020..
