For each game, the players would be presented a board with sixteen different 'answers' to a category-style question. Eleven of the answers would be real, while five of them would be incorrect "wipeout" answers. Contestants received increasing amounts of money for each correct answer, but risked losing everything if they wiped out before passing control to the next player. After each game, the two higest scoring players would go on to compete in a head-to-head challenge round, where the difficulty and the prize money increased. Written by Jean-Marc Rocher See less
