Jeopardy! Bar League

media release: Think you can hold your own against real Jeopardy! champions? Now’s your chance! Jeopardy!Bar League is hosting a special event, “Challenge the Champs,” at Buffalo Wild Wings on Wednesday, December 10, at 7 PM. The event celebrates the launch of new weekly quiz nights in Monona.

Two former Jeopardy! contestants from Wisconsin —Ben Chan and Christopher Tillman—will each play as separate challengers, facing teams from across the community, including local media groups and small businesses, in an exciting trivia showdown.

• Ben Chan, a 9-game Jeopardy! champion and 2023 Tournament of Champions first runner-up, is known for his calm precision and lightning recall. Ben is a philosophy professor from Green Bay.

• Christopher Tillman, who recently played, impressed audiences with his sharp gameplay and buzzer speed. Christopher is from Plover and serves as a pastor.

The evening will be hosted by Niki Peters, a former Jeopardy! College Championship contestant herself, who will bring her own insider flair and energy to the competition. Teams will play using their mobile devices; the top-scoring teams will win prizes, and a donation will be made to the Boys & Girls Club in the champion’s name, courtesy of Jeopardy! Bar League and Buffalo Wild Wings.

The event is free to play, and all are welcome to form teams to test their trivia skills and enjoy a night of competitive fun and community spirit.
