This is a party game designed for a group of players divided into two teams.. The basic premise is to have players call out answers (entered by a designated team captain) based on topics randomly supplied by the program. Each topic contains ten pre-determined Target Answers, which earn the team a single point when matched, and games consist of seven rounds with six variations. To speed up gameplay, only the first three letters of each answer need to be typed, as the program is designed to recognize correct responses. Rounds 1, 2, and 4 feature "Regular Outburst," which gives teams 60 seconds to come up with answers and earn bonus points. In Round 3, "Reverse Burst" has players guessing the topic instead of the answers. Round 5 has two options: "Sloppy Seconds" and "Challenge Clock." In the former, teams have 30 seconds to make five correct matches, and the opposing team has 30 seconds to "steal" any answers not correctly matched for double points. The latter, a timed, winner-take-all event, has one team trying to match five pre-determined answers within one minute and the other team getting an equal amount of time on a different topic. Round 6's "Shout Burst" features multiple-choice questions, while "Mondo Burst" in Round 7 offers a multitude of different Target Answers per topic. It has thousands of questions and a multitude of categories. Single-player and network games (playable with up to eight players via LAN or Internet) have variations on the standard "party" game rules, but gameplay remains basically the same. It's hosted by actor Timothy Stack and co-hosted by Lani Minella. |
