Jeopardy! fans have proved they pay attention to every detail when it comes to anything associated with the hit game show.
On Thursday, one avid fan took to Reddit to share a very embarrassing error that they noticed on a piece of Jeopardy! merchandise.
Posting a picture of the back of a Jeopardy! game, which allows fans to play at home, the Reddit user revealed their surprise about finding an error on the box.
The sentence in question read: 'The clue is printed on the front of each page and the correct answer is printed on the back so try not to peak.'
'Anyone else notice this error on 2025 Jeopardy calendar packaging?' they asked members of the forum.
The fan added: '"Peak" instead of "peek"? Obviously a minor quibble, but strange to see this lack of professionalism on a Jeopardy! product.'
Peak means 'the pointed top of a mountain' - along with other more risque connotations - while peek means 'a quick or furtive look.'
The error immediately amused fellow Reddit users as one wrote: 'It's unreasonable the amount of satisfaction I get from finding these mistakes.'
