Weekend Launches on Amazon Fire TV with Jeopardy!

Weekend, the leading creator of voice-AI games, announced today the launch of the Weekend App on Amazon Fire TV. The app’s debut title, Jeopardy!, brings the iconic game show experience to the platform. Weekend is the first gaming company to develop a voice-controlled game natively for Fire TV.

How to Play Jeopardy! on Fire TV

Aspiring Jeopardy! champions can get a round started by searching for Weekend on their compatible Fire TV Sticks with their Alexa Voice Remote. Players respond to clues using their voice, rack up points across the board, and wager on Daily Doubles—just like real contestants.

“As someone who once auditioned (and, alas, was rejected) for a Jeopardy! Teen Tournament, I know firsthand the irresistible appeal of stepping into the world of this game show,” said Max Child, CEO of Weekend. “To date, more than two million people have played Weekend's Jeopardy! game, and we're excited to bring this immersive experience to Fire TV, a platform ideal for casual gaming."

Streaming Meets Game Show Gold

"Jeopardy! has been a runaway hit on Echo devices, and we're thrilled to bring this beloved game show to our Fire TV customers," said Tapas Roy, vice president of Fire TV. "With the launch of the Weekend app on Fire TV, starting with Jeopardy!, we're combining the world's most popular streaming media player family with one of the most iconic game shows of all time. This exciting collaboration with Weekend showcases our commitment to bringing premium, interactive entertainment directly into living rooms across the U.S."

Weekend was able to create this experience thanks to the powerful developer tools that the Fire TV team offers, including APIs that allow them to create web-quality designs and layouts. Rather than a traditional touch screen or game controller, Weekend feature an AI voice interface, which works perfectly with Fire TV’s voice-powered remote.
