Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Brand Names) for Thursday, June 5, 2025 (Season 41, Game 194):

Founded in 1972, this company got its name from a term meaning “hit the target” in the board game Go

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Nikhil Joshi, a veterinarian originally from Montville, New Jersey

Sarah Fuller, a special education teacher from Athens, Ohio

Joey Quismorio, a product manager originally from San Antonio, Texas (1-day total: $17,201)

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

With primetime’s Jeopardy! Masters concluding last night, we now begin a seven-and-a-half week run to the end of the season of just one game per day. That run begins with Joey Quismorio of San Antonio as your defending champion, who took a come-from-behind victory on yesterday’s episode, unseating a very strong champion in Stella Trout. Today’s challengers are New Jersey veterinarian Nikhil Joshi and Ohio teacher Sarah Fuller.

Correct response: What is Atari?

More information about Final Jeopardy:

(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2025 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)

As a longtime video game player, I find today’s Final Jeopardy to be incredibly ironic, being that today is the launch date for the Switch 2 console from Nintendo. Atari was a pioneering company at the forefront of the video game and arcade industry of the 1970s and early 1980s, who rode the wave of the popularity of “Pong” to reach the top of the industry. However, the early 1980s video game crash saw Atari lose much of its market share as Nintendo became the major player in the video game space of the late 1980s. It was at that point when Nintendo and Atari became bitter rivals, reaching a point where Atari’s subsidiary Tengen developed a workaround to the “lockout chip” inside officially licensed Nintendo Entertainment System games to release NES classics such as “Gauntlet” and the “RBI Baseball” series, as well as ports of its arcade classics to the NES, outside of Nintendo’s licensing. This led to a protracted legal battle between the two companies.

When naming the company, founders Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney considered many different terms from Go, eventually settling on “Atari”, Japanese for “hit the target”.

Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:

(Scores: Joey $7,400 Nikhil $5,400 Sarah $1,400)

Joey: Standard cover bet is $3,401. If you have a really good inkling that Nikhil might go small, you could consider betting between $2 and $598—but your read of his strategy would need to be perfect. (Actual bet: $3,401)

Sarah: You can’t win, and even Nikhil’s less-than-ideal bets keep you locked out. Bet whatever you like. (Actual bet: $0)

Nikhil: Bet no more than $1,400 for your best chance of victory. (Actual bet: $0)
