The 2010 version of the venerable game show Jeopardy! brings Alex Trebek and 2,400 new questions to Nintendo's two major platforms. Both versions allow up to three players to participate in a full episode of the show, with computer-controlled contestants optionally filling empty seats. The Jeopardy, Double Jeopardy, and Final Jeopardy sections of the show are all recreated, with an authentic virtual recreation of the set and stat tracking for profiles (including question answers, lifetime earnings, etc.) .

There are three difficulty levels. The simplest level offers four multiple-choice answer options for each question. Medium and Hard levels require the player to start typing their answer, but provide a list of autocomplete options in a corner window. Medium difficulty starts suggesting at 3 letters, while hard difficulty will not suggest until 5 letters are entered. Due to the auto-completion capability, perfect spelling is required much more in this version than previous console ports.

Players can enter their answers with a virtual keyboard. Optionally, players can use handwriting recognition on the Nintendo DS to write their answers, or use the Wii Speak to speak their answers on the Wii version. Mii support is included for the Wii, allowing players to attach their Mii to their game profile and view their character during gameplay. As an alternative (and on DS), players can choose from pre-rendered Mii characters -ish. Prizes in the form of additional costumes and accessories (for use in the game) are awarded at various stages. Players can also activate brief trivia mini-games between rounds (in place of commercial breaks) where more outfits and concept art from the game can be earned.

Danger! features the voices of announcer Johnny Gilbert, host Alex Trebek and traveling "Clue Crew" member Kelly Miyahara. Trebek and Miyahara also appear in-game in a stylized, big-headed form similar to Miis.
