THE $100,000 PYRAMID
I'll try to be more concise, since the last description took up the whole page. This is the exciting word game made famous by the legendary Dick Clark. Two teams, with one clue giver and one receiver, try to communicate words on the screen by describing them in thirty seconds or less.
Example: If the word on the screen was dog...
Clue Giver: "This is a four-legged animal that barks."
When all six categories are used, the Winners' Circle is played. This time, the team playing has sixty seconds, but the giver is only allowed to give items in a list.
Example: For "Things that are red,"
Apples, cherries, roses, etc.
Winning this round wins the team $100,000!
Tie-Breaker Rules
A perfect score is 21-21. During each category, write down both how many words the team gets and the amount of time it took to get those words. For example, if there are four seconds left when a problem's answer or "End of Category" appears, the team took twenty-six seconds for that category. Fastest team wins the tiebreaker.
In the rare event of both teams having the same time, a split rule is played. Both teams choose one person to represent them in the Winners' Circle. If these players win the round, the theoretical $100,000 is divided between both teams.
Lastly, if a category doesn't disappear on-click, keep clicking until it disappears. This is a bug within PowerPoint. If the "ding" does not play during the Winners' Circle, just move on. This happens because two sounds are playing at once.
Always show the first subject before starting the clock. This applies to both rounds.
OK, I'll leave you alone now. Enjoy The $100,000 Pyramid!
