I wondered the same thing....but purchased a version of these games for
PowerPoint (through FTC Publishing--- http://www.ftcpublishing.com )

When I went online to search for the information to order the books /
software, I found PPT programs already available including one from a
Regional Service Center (here in Texas) that offered them "free of
charge"---still, I wonder.

However, I do have my book with the directions to make the PPT games
including those for Jeopardy, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, etc.  (but I
won't be posting it on the Internet...only for use in the classroom /
library with my students).

Hi Everyone,

Once again I seek your collective wisdom.  I have seen many Jeopardy game
powerpoint templates online and am currently in the process of designing my
own for teachers in my district to use.  As I did this, I started wondering
what the copyright implications were.
Can I call the game Jeopardy?
I am assuming I can't use the Jeopardy sound effects.
I have numbers in the squares not dollars.... can I still use 100 - 500?
The game will be used for face to face instruction/review--- however, what
are the ramifications if we start posting these teacher made games online
for students to review at home?

Thank you in advance for your advice and input.  I look forward to hearing
your feelings about this situation and any recommendations you may have.
