I was curious if any loyal watchers of Eye Guess, may have seen an episode late in the series run, with its updated format. An acquaintance of mine says he has seen an episode, featuring Bill Cullen plugging an updated board game, using the show's new format, used in its last few months.
I've never seen an episode of that format, nor such a box game. I also wondered if a model was added to the show during that time, or if the announcer (Jack Clark or Don Pardo) appearred on-stage, since one of my television history books described the winner (under the new format), being "escorted to the Eye Guess Risk Board."

Remind us please, how was the updated format different? Just the bonus round, right?

Okay, and I'm sorry I haven't responded earlier!
Under the new format, instead of scoring points for locating the correct hidden answers, a prize was credited to the player when correct. The first player to be credited with seven prizes, won the game, kept the prizes, and played the bonus round (as described earlier, the Eye Guess Risk Board).
In the new bonus round, seven of the eight numbered spots on the board concealed a card with the word "GO" on them, and one said "STOP." If all seven "GO" cards were located before hitting the "STOP," card, the winner received a new car!
The acquaintance I heard about the box game being updated described it as containing prize racks similar to the ones used in Concentration games, and a new box cover showed Bill Cullen (w/straight hair, instead of crewcut), holding a slightly redesigned game board.
Whether or not it existed, I don't know, but I highly doubt it. The bonus round would've been easily updated, though if such a game existed.
