5x5
|
Here are the rules of "5x5". There are 5 categories with 5 questions, 5 players competing, and the game is completed with the "5 By Final" round in which players have a chance to multiply their score by 5 to determine the winner. Players have 5 seconds to provide each answer in the front game. Each player starts with 5000 points. Questions are valued from 1000 to 4000 points, from the left side of the board to the right, and the far right question of each category holds a "Double Up". The Double Up is an opportunity for a player to double their score on a single question.
When a category is selected, the lowest-valued question will be revealed. Players can buzz-in after the question is read in its entirety and the screen background turns red. Players that buzz in too early, will be locked out for a fifth of a second before they will be allowed to buzz in again. Once a player buzzes in and is recognized, they have 5 seconds to answer the question. A correct answer adds the value to their total. A wrong answer will deduct the value, but a player's score can't go below zero. After any miss, the remaining players can buzz in and increase or decrease their scores.
Once the first four questions in a category are played, the Double Up question is available to be selected. Each player can play a Double Up question just once per game, and a Double Up question can only be selected if that player has not used their Double Up.
AFTER A DOUBLE-UP HAS BEEN SELECTED
The host will read the Double Up question in its entirety. The player in control will have 10 seconds to either give an answer or pass on the question. A correct answer doubles their score. If that player gives a wrong answer, their score goes to zero and the other players can buzz in. If the player in control passes on the question or time runs out without them giving an answer, their score stays the same and the other players can buzz-in. The other players will have 5 seconds to give an answer to earn or lose 5000 points.

WHEN ONLY DOUBLE UPS ARE AVAILABLE (and the player in control already used their Double-Up) Since no other clues are available on the board, this question is a tossup for all players worth 5000 points.
AT THE END OF THE FRONT GAME
(If a player has less than 500 points at the end of this round): We’re going to round up your score to 500 points so you have something to bet with in this bonus round.)
It’s time for the 5 By Final. The host will read a question that has at least, or exactly, five correct answers. Players will have one minute to write down up to 5 answers on the white board. If more than 5 answers are written, only the first 5 answers that aren't crossed out will be considered. If a player does not get any correct, their score is cut in half. If a player get one correct, their score stays the same. If the player gets two or more right, their score will be multiplied by that number.
