## What is J?

J-Challenge is a clean, fast scorekeeper built for at-home trivia in the
  classic TV game-show format. Playing solo or going head-to-head? Just tap a
  clue value, mark it right or wrong, and let J-Challenge handle the math —
  including the wager clues and the final round.

  HOW IT WORKS
  • Tap a clue value to lock in the row, then hit + for a correct answer or − for
    a miss. Scores update instantly.
  • Two rounds of increasing clue values, plus wager clues and a final wager round.
  • Negative scores are fully supported and shown in red, just like the show.

  FEATURES
  • One- and two-player scoring
  • Correct / incorrect sound effects
  • Remembers player names between games
  • Saves every game to your history automatically
  • Tap any past game for a full round-by-round breakdown
  • Big, easy-to-read buttons and a bold game-show look
  • Built for both iPhone and iPad
  • No account required — open the app and start keeping score

  GREAT FOR
  • Family game nights and parties
  • Classrooms, quiz clubs, and trivia teams
  • Tracking how you and your friends improve over time

  Stop juggling pen and paper or doing wager math in your head. J-Challenge keeps
  the score so you can focus on the questions.

  Download J-Challenge and make your next trivia night a real game show.

Unofficial rules (or make up your own!):

- The person with the app keeps the score.
- Players must wait until the question has been read aloud completely before answering.
- First person to answer correctly wins the points for that round. In the event that both people blurted out the correct or incorrect answer at the same time, both players may either be scored or the points for that question can be skipped (its up to the players to decide).
- For the Daily 2x wagers, each player must state their wager (up to their current amount) before the question is read.  Note - It helps to pause the TV in order to set the bets before hearing the question.
- For the Final round, players must state their wager before the question is read.  In order to keep the answers secret, write them down privately on a piece of paper, once the answer is revealed on the show. Players reveal their answers and are scored accordingly.

Notes:
- the game moves fast, so sometimes its easier to pause the show in order to catch up.
- You can touch the scoring value in the middle of the screen to set the betting level as soon as a contestant on TV calls out the value. (Example: "Ill take Movies for 400" - then you would select the "400" value so that you dont accidentally either forget the value or press the wrong score afterwards.

The app allows you to view your game history and track your performance in the various scoring levels over time.
