Welcome to Game Night! 🎮
In this video, I’ll show you how to build your own Jeopardy-style Game Night Buzzer using an Arduino Uno, 16×2 LCD display, and arcade buttons. Each button lights up when pressed, and only the fastest player wins — perfect for trivia nights, classrooms, and family game fun!
This project includes LEDs, a piezo buzzer for sound effects, and a reset button to start the next round. I’ll walk you through every step — from wiring the LCD screen to coding the Arduino — and even share a demo at the end.

🎁 November 2025 Giveaway Announcement!
Hey everyone! Welcome to November 2025, and thank you for following my Game Night Timer series — my DIY, one-button turn timer that keeps game night moving.
Over the past few months, we’ve built this project on multiple platforms:
🧠 Raspberry Pi, Raspberry Pi Pico, Arduino Uno, and even the Google AIY Voice Kit v1.
Each version adds its own twist—from LEDs and buzzers to LCD screens, Bluetooth speakers, and full voice announcements recorded right inside the AIY kit.
🎉 Congrats to Alana in South Dakota, who won the September giveaway!
🎉 Congrats to Alan in Virginia, who won the October giveaway!
If you enter in November, I’ll draw that winner live in December.
Now for November — I’m giving away one final Google AIY Voice Kit v1 this month!
