The Multiple Ways of Loading Games
The Multiple Ways of Loading Games
j-archive ID
The tried and true method of loading games in TTS J! is by loading real games that have happened on the show. You go to the website https://j-archive.com/ and head over to the recent games, or use the search feature, and find yourself a game. The end URL would look something like this: j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=7903
The game_id=7903 **is the ID you are wanting to use, not the Show #. There are (for some reason) 2 separate identifying IDs that j-archive uses.

Random
A game crafted with randomness. There is no algorithm or magic that determines how games are formed. The only thing it does is make sure it is selecting categories that are complete (at least 5 answered questions). This means that if there are categories like "MOVIE TITLES", there are probably dozens of answers but it will only pick 5. The good news, it will pick 5 with the appropriate price scale so that it is fair, but the bad news is if a particular category had an overall theme that theme could be lost. A category called "IN TROUBLE" could have appeared multiple times. One of those times could have been literal questions about the people in trouble but maybe one game was a trick category and surprise, it is actually a word game where the answer is formed using the letters in TROUBLE. So you could end up with a category with mixed results, but this is very rare and ultimately doesn't ruin the whole game.

Host Pre-Selected Categories
With the website https://ugleh.com/jeopardy/ you can select every category you want from single, double, and final, and their position on the board. Generate an ID, and load it in the same place you would load the j-archive ID. The questions/answers are selected the same way they would in Random.

Player Category Selector
Going through the players each player can choose 1 of 6 random categories, and around the table it goes until all 12 are selected with the final being random. Very rare is a bug that prevents a game from loading and it is typically a packet issue with the data being sent and should just be retried.
