Reddit reviews Game Show Trivia 6th Edition

Here’s what helped me:

Use Anki. Create multiple decks for each category you want to focus on, and spend hours every day working them. Buy this book immediately and use it to create the decks. That book should be with you wherever you go. Be reading it constantly when you have free time (and are not working Anki). [If I only had more time and had created a US Cities deck from that book, I would’ve certainly known about Leadville and won at least 1 more game, along with ~$15,000 more, so yeah, it’s a good resource.]


Virtually play through tons of past games found on the J archive site. Do this as realistically as possible, ideally with a friend who acts as the host and maybe even someone else who plays another contestant. You should be working with a signaling device for this as well (even if it’s just a clicking pen). Track your Coryat. This will get you very comfortable with the flow of the game, answering and moving on to your next choice, dealing with giving bad answers (it happens).

Practice signaling in response to a stimulus. This site works, but there are other methods too.

Spend some time studying wagering strategies for all the different situations you might find yourself in at FJ. Check out DD heat maps, and formulate a plan of action for your gameplay (though it doesn’t always work quite like you want it to!).

That seems pretty solid.
