BREAKING NEWS : Jeopardy! made fans angry for days because of the erratic changes

Jeopardy! set leaves fans puzzled for days as subtle change leaves them confused

Jeopardy! fans were left scratching their heads after spotting a subtle change that took them days to figure out – and they were relieved to finally have an answer

An updated Jeopardy! set was unveiled in October

Jeopardy! fans are known for their keen eyes and attention to detail. The American quiz show, a favourite since the 1960s, has seen its daily syndicated version air since 1984 with little change in gameplay.

However, an updated Jeopardy! set was unveiled in October, featuring a new game board. This week, fans took to Reddit to discuss a subtle change that took them days to figure out.

One user posted screenshots with the caption: “When I was watching this week, I thought something looked different and then I realised a few days later what it was.”

It appears there has been a slight change in the text size of the dollar amount displayed on player’s podiums – a subtle difference that is practically invisible to the untrained eye, reports the Mirror US.

One particularly detail-oriented fan explained the difference: “It seems that the monitors on the front of the podiums were replaced; and that the image is a little brighter, and the placement and size of the image is very slightly different on the new screens. The dollar values are not specifically larger, though. It’s just the entire image”.

Many fans missed the subtle alteration on the set, but some sensed a change without being able to pinpoint it. A user clarified: “It’s a testament to how our brains get used to tiny details that this very minor change caused so many people to feel something was different.”

The mystery unsettled viewers until it was resolved online, prompting reactions such as: “Thank you Reddit for making me feel a little less crazy. I thought things looked off today,” and another shared: “YES. I knew something was different but I couldn’t figure it out until this post.”
