I've only seen a couple of episodes on YouTube, being too young for its original run, and too cable-deprived in the '90s to have seen it on GSN. But what I've seen, I've certainly liked. There's no doubting the game's source material, but it's a well-done original twist with a great bit of strategy thrown in.
I know the syndie version offered a standard-issue B&E dumb-luck bonus game. A while back, I concocted this:
- The bonus board consists of 15 prize cards (3 each of 5 different prizes), and 5 money bags.
- Player selects a box, and borrowing from the last couple seasons of HS, the host reads a factual statement. The player must decide to which of the two celebs that statement applies.
- If the player guesses correctly, the prize or money bag in the box is revealed. If incorrect, a strike goes up, and the contents remain unknown.
- If the player successfully reveals 3 boxes containing the same prize, he/she wins that prize.
- If the player successfully reveals 3 money bags, he/she "Breaks The Bank", winning all 5 prizes plus the current cash jackpot.
- If the player makes 3 strikes, the game is over, and he/she receives $_00 for each captured box.
