Round 1 - Rhyme Time

Show the title graphic.

Explain to the contestants that a pair of questions will be asked at a time. The answers for the questions rhyme. This is a buzzer round, and a contestant scores one point if they are the first to buzz in with the correct answer to BOTH questions.

There are no categories for this round.

Each question comes with three images/slides. Open the first, containing the first question, and read it out. Then open the second, which adds the second question, and read that out. The third contains the answers to both questions, so only open that after a contestant has answered correctly, or if no one can answer it.

The round has a very simple flow of asking questions and receiving answers until all questions in the round have been asked and answered.

If a contestant buzzes in with the wrong answer then they are not penalised but are locked out from answering the question again.

Round 2 - Distinctly Average

Show the title graphic.

First, announce that this is a pairs round (assuming you're running it this way) and that the player in last place gets to choose their partner. If last place is tied, you choose who gets to pick.

Once the pairs are decided, explain that they'll have to make their best estimates on questions with numeric answers and the pair whose AVERAGE is closer to the actual answer gets a point.

Each question has just two images/slides: question and answer.

Start by showing and reading the question.

This is a tablet round, so all of the contestants secretly writes their answer to the question at the same time.

Once written, ask the contestants to reveal their answers one at a time (ideally in a different order each question). This gives them a chance to explain their reasoning, which can be funny if someone is miles out. This also gives you the time to open a calculator and calculate the pairs' averages.

Confirm the two pairs' averages, ideally onscreen somewhere.

Reveal the answer. Confirm which average is closer. Both members of that pair gain a point.

Rinse and repeat with the remaining questions.

Note: if it would be helpful, a custom tool can be added to the website where you can paste in the four contestants' answers and the actual answer and it tells you what the averages are and which one is closer.

Question 1

  • How many seconds did it take Fauna to complete her personal best Getting Over It run?
  • Answer: 269

Question 2

  • In the Man with a Mission ft. Takuma song "Database", how many times does the name of the song appear in the lyrics?
  • Answer: 24

Question 3

  • To the nearest minute in in-game time, how many minutes did it take Kanata to complete Jump King?
  • Answer: 1969

Round 3 - Opposites Attract

Show the title graphic.

Explain to the contestants that they'll be shown a category and each question will be a hint for something in that category. The catch here is that the hint is the exact opposite of the answer. This is a buzzer round, so make it clear that it's fastest finger first.

There is no image/slide announcing the category itself (it's listed on each of the questions), so to avoid complications with buzzers, announce what the upcoming category is before opening the first image for it.

Each question has just two images/slides: the question and the answer.

Open the question. Read the question (usually just a couple of words).

Open the answer when a contestant gets the answer right, or if no one answers correctly.

If a contestant buzzes in with the wrong answer then they are not penalised but are locked out from answering that particular question again.

Rinse and repeat with the rest of the questions. Be aware of when you're about to change from one category to another so you can announce it.

Please note that the hints can use some lateral thinking for things that don't have an obvious natural opposite and you will always get some people upset that some of them aren't actually opposites, but you will see the logic (and fun) of how they're set up to make contestants think in the right direction even in some really weird situations.

Round 4 - Holo History

Show the title graphic.

Explain to the contestants that the answers for this round will be dates. They're not expected to know the answer, but whoever gets closest will get the point.

Each question has just two images/slides: the question and the answer.

Start by showing the question and reading it.

This is a tablet round, so all of the contestants secretly write their answers to the question at the same time.

Once all of the answers are written, ask the contestants to reveal their guesses one at a time, with a chance to explain their reasoning. Ideally, change the order they reveal in question to question.
This also gives you time to work out which guess is closest.

Once all of the guesses have been revealed, show the answer.

Whoever guessed closest to the actual date wins a point. If they get it exactly right they instead score two points.

Note: It'll usually be easy to tell which answer is closest, but if it's useful a custom tool can be added to the website where you can add the answer and the guesses and be told which is closest.

Question 3

Round 5 - Answer Smash

Show the title graphic.

Explain to the contestants that this is buzzer round played in categories. A question is asked and a picture is shown below it at the same time. The question could be anything but the picture will relate to the category.
The answer to the question and the content of the picture will overlap like a portmanteau, which is called answersmashing. e.g. if the answer to the question was Hololive and the picture was of Livestreaming, the portmanteau would be Hololivestreaming.

It's also important that you let the contestants know that unlike any other round, if you buzz in and give a wrong/no answer you LOSE a point in addition to being locked out from answering it again. This is to raise the stakes for the final round.

There are no images for categories, so announce the category name before the first question appears to save buzzer time.

Each question has just two images/slides: one for the question and the picture, and one with the answer overlaid.

Show the question and image. Read the question. There shouldn't be a need to reference the picture.

Show the answer after a contestant buzzes in with the right answer, or if no one can answer.

Rinse and repeat with the rest of the questions, keeping an eye out for when the category changes to announce it in advance.

In the actual TV show, the round runs for two full categories and only goes as far into the third category as it needs to quietly break the tie for first place. I'd recommend you do all but the final question, and if you find you have a tie then use the final question as a tiebreaker.

If there is a tie for first place at this point, this is a sudden death situation. Only those tied for first can answer the tiebreaker question. If the first to buzz answers correctly they gain a point and win, but if they get it wrong they lose a point and the other player wins.
