Synopsis
Pairs of contestants played this affable lunchtime quiz. In the style of the classic US panel game Password, one member of the pair would have to describe a mystery word to their partner using up to three one-word clues (for 20, 15 or 10 points). The partner had a guess at the mystery word after each clue. After three clues were used up, the other team could guess it for 5 points.
Often the way the clues were said, in order to provide context to the clue, would prompt much hilarity. Another favorite tactic would be to inflect the last syllable to imply the first half of a phrase ("Zebraaaa..."), only for the partner to guess it wrongly. They'd often give the same first clue three times until the other person eventually got the right one.
The winners played against a new team, winners staying on for up to six games. The prize was cold hard cash.
