With Jeopardy! being as successful as it is, Jeopardy: The Greatest of All Time takes things up a notch further. This special edition of the show features three winners of Jeopardy—Ken Jennings, James Holzhauer, and Brad Rutter—competing against each other to crown one of them as the ultimate Jeopardy! GOAT.

In this high-stakes showdown, the first contestant to win three matches is declared the winner and receives a prize of $1 million. The runner-ups each receive $250,000.

2) America Says

America Says takes a patriotic turn on Family Feud. In this show, two teams of four participants compete to guess how Americans might respond to certain clues to fill-in-the-blank survey questions.

The length of the blank also helps to determine what the answer could be. However, what makes this game so interesting is that people have to actually get into the mindset of the typical American and give answers that they might go for instead of going with their natural instinct.

3) Family Feud

Similar to America Says, Family Feud features two groups competing against each other, but in this case, the groups are individual families with members aged 15 and above. Both groups are presented with questions that were asked to a survey group beforehand. The team that guesses the highest-ranked answer wins the round.

Family Feud originally premiered in 1976 and has had three different runs so far. The currently running show began in 1999 and is currently hosted by Steve Harvey.

4) The Weakest Link

Like Jeopardy!, The Weakest Link follows the typical game show concept, with the participants answering general knowledge questions for prize money. However, there is a twist that makes it one of the most popular game shows ever.

The Weakest Link is played with a group of eight to nine participants, each of whom has to answer a general knowledge question within a time period to create a chain of correct answers. At the end of every round, however, the participants are required to vote and eliminate one participant from the game.

5) Wheel of Fortune

Simply put, Wheel of Fortune brings together Hangman and a prize wheel.

The game brings together three participants, who are presented with the Wheel of Fortune, which has 24 slots. When they land on a cash space, the participant is required to guess a consonant, and if the consonant is present in the word, they win the cash amount. Alternatively, they can also choose to buy vowels for $250.

At the end of each round, if the person can solve the puzzle, they get to keep the prize and any cash money that they won through the round.

6) Who Wants To Be A Millionaire

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire follows a classic trivia game show format, where the contestants play for a prizepool of a million dollars. With every question they answer, they win a certain amount of money. However, as the prize money increases, the difficulty level of the question also rises, making the stakes as high as they get.

The game show has featured several hosts over the years, and it is currently hosted by Jimmy Kimmel.

7) Brain Games

If the 'brainy' aspect of Jeopardy! is what appeals to you, then you'll likely enjoy Brain Games. The game encourages participants to use various visual, audio, and other cognitive factors for experiments that help bring the focus of every episode into the limelight.

Brain Games was originally hosted by Neil Patrick Harris, but the role is currently filled by Keegan-Michael Key.

8) Cash Cab

Cash Cab has a unique approach to the trivia game show format, in terms of the location. The entire show takes place inside a cab, where contestants are informed that they are inside the "cash cab" as soon as they enter the vehicle, and the format of the game is explained to them.

They are then given the option to play the game or bow out. If they choose to play, they have the opportunity to win a cash prize for every question they answer correctly. The game show continues till the participant reaches their destination or till they get three questions wrong.

9) The Floor

The Floor is a game show based on a floor that has 81 grids—one grid for every participant who has in-depth knowledge about a specific trivia category. The game progresses as two contestants go against one another in a trivia duel that ends up with the winner taking over all of the loser's grids.

At the end of the season, the player who has control of the entire floor is crowned the winner.

10) Mental Samurai

Mental Samurai is a trivia show that tests both mental strength and physical endurance. Something like Who Wants To Be A Millionaire combined with something like Wipeout.

In this game, the contestant has to answer trivia questions while they are being transported through the set at high speeds by a large robot arm. Although the game is not easy by any means, the prize money motivates people to power through.

These are some of the most popular trivia shows that you can watch if you enjoyed Jeopardy!
