In the era of COVID-19, keeping students engaged with each other and the technical content of the course in an interactive, fun, and creative yet safe way was very crucial. To accomplish this goal as well as to allow students to review materials for the exams, a Jeopardy-style game was created in a junior-level structural analysis course. The current paper discusses the details of the creation of the game and its relation to the KEEN objectives on curiosity, connections, communications, and collaboration. Curiosity was assessed through problem selection, connections based on the style of the questions, communication from the written report, and collaboration per students’ reflection on teamwork and whether they were able to teach and learn from their peers. Such games can be played again and again and provide the students with a unique experience to review the course content within the course.
