Objective

Reveal popular survey answers and bank the points attached to them. After three strikes, the opposing team gets one chance to steal the pot.

How to play

  1. Before each board, teams take part in a face-off. The first team to buzz in with the right answer chooses to play or pass.
  2. The playing team guesses answers from the survey. Each correct answer is revealed and adds to the pot.
  3. A wrong answer earns a strike. After three strikes, the next team gets one guess to steal the accumulated pot.
  4. A successful steal wins the pot for the other team; a failed steal leaves it with the original team.
  5. Choose the number of survey boards in the round settings. The last board is double points.

Scoring

Each answer's displayed survey value is multiplied by 10 and added to the pot. The last board doubles those values. The team that clears the board or wins the steal receives the pot; after a failed steal, the original team keeps it.

Tips

  • Think of answers that many people would give, not just your personal favourite.
  • Use the face-off to choose the option that best suits your team.
  • Keep track of revealed answers so you don't repeat them.

Host tip: The Host panel displays the survey answers and the controls for revealing them, marking strikes and deciding a steal. Keep the answer list private until each answer is guessed or the board is over.
