Stardew Valley is an open-ended country-life RPG where players build and manage a farm. On top of growing crops and raising livestock, Stardew Valley features various quests and offers the possibility to befriend the townspeople – or even marry one of them. Since its release in 2016, Stardew Valley has sold over 30 million copies, making it one of the best-selling games of all time. Stardew Valley is also frequently cited as one of the best farming games of all time, alongside popular titles like Harvest Moon, Farming Simulator, and My Time at Portia.

In a recent Jeopardy episode, host Ken Jennings gave the three contestants the clue “Type of place you inherited from Grandpa in Stardew Valley.” As the game begins with the main character getting a worn-down farm from their grandfather, this Jeopardy clue was meant to make the contestants guess the question “What is a farm?” One of the contestants found the answer, making Stardew Valley players watching Jeopardy glad to see a fellow gaming enthusiast guessing the correct question from the “Game-Pourri” category.
Jeopardy Previously Mentioned Among Us and Ghost of Tsushima
Stardew Valley isn’t the first game being mentioned in Jeopardy. Contestants of the popular TV show had to guess “What is sus?” from the clue “Slang adjective for someone you think is not what they seem, especially if they might be the impostor in the game Among Us” in 2022, back when Among Us was among the most popular games. Ghost of Tsushima also appeared in Jeopardy as a clue for “What is a samurai?,” with developer Sucker Punch Productions sharing its excitement on social media.
Fans of Stardew Valley can look forward to a new game from ConcernedApe, although its release date hasn’t been announced yet. Haunted Chocolatier is a confectionery store simulation game with RPG elements, where players can collect various ingredients to make chocolate confections, fight against enemies, and get some well-deserved rest while socializing with townsfolk. Those who would rather play Stardew Valley and enjoy a peaceful farm life are not left behind, as ConcernedApe released the Stardew Valley 1.6 update a few months ago, adding various content and features to keep giving players fresh content eight years after the game’s original release.
