The goal is to reach 300 points by winning rounds, which feature face-offs, strikes for wrong answers, potential steals, and doubled/tripled point values in later rounds. The winning team plays "Fast Money" for a cash prize. 

Core Game Rules

  • The Face-Off: One member from each team approaches the podium for a question. The first to buzz in with a correct answer (or the higher-ranked answer) wins control for their team.

  • Points: Points correspond to the number of survey participants who gave that answer (e.g., 40 people = 40 points).
  • Round Progression: Points are doubled in round 3 and tripled in round 4.
