How Is the Game Played?
The game will be played in a similar style to vintage television gameshows of the 70s and 80s in front of a live audience at the historic Latchis Theatre on “BrattFM Gameshow Night” happening on Friday, February 21, 2020 starting at 7p. The full team of (5) members must be present to play in front of a live audience.
• One member of each team faces the other in a face-off as the host reads survey questions.
• The team that buzzed in with the correct answer receives control of the board and has the option of playing or passing control to the other team.
• The team that has the control tries to reveal all of the correct answers to the question before receiving three strikes. (If the answer is not on the board)
• If the team receives three strikes without clearing the board, control is passed to the other team.
• The team that now has the control is able to give one answer in the hopes that it is found on the board.
• If it is, points are added to the team’s score. If not, the other team gets the points.
• Points are collected as each team finds its answers to the question on the board.
• Each team tries to collect the most points. The team with the most points at the end of three rounds wins.
