Wordplay: In a procedure too tedious to describe,[/quote] A correct answer is worth the amount of money on the box as well as any boxes connected to it.
Wow, I think I need to like down and have a pull from Grampa's oxygen tank*. Jeez.
You can slap whatever scoring you want onto the game, but if you have celebrities being funny, that's what viewers should pay attention to. Because I'm feeling lazy after typing out the old way, award each player 50 points for a correct judgment, and have some big Final Word thing. Don't take away from the reason people are watching.
Showdown: The bonus round was called 'Triple Treat.' If each player chose the same multiple choice answer and that answer was correct everyone won the bonus prize. Otherwise, everyone loses. Before the game began, the wining team would chosen a number and hope that the number chosen was to be the correct answer.
What kind of questions are we talking about? "What kind of cheese did I put on my sausage biscuit?" or something you could possibly know, like South American capitals? If you have a chance to know it, I'd rather cast my lot with hoping that we'll all know it.
Solution: make the final question short answer rather than multiple choice. (Big deal! The game was cancelled after thirteen weeks anyway!)
You must be knew here. This is what we do.
* I no longer have a grampa from which to commandeer his oxygen tank.
