Now that I'm completely done with Trivia Trap, I've decided to create something new that's based on a popular game show on CBS and in syndication... a game where knowledge is king and lady luck is queen. You've guessed it... "The Joker's Wild". Since this is a pilot, I need two players to give it a test drive. And BTW, I need an additional 3 stand-by contestants in case if there's a quick game. Please let me know and be on standby. Good luck to today's contestants.

OK, Kevin and Matt. Both of you are in. Before we begin the show, I also need three stand-by contestants for those who wants to play against the champion.

Good luck to you, Kevin. Before we begin the game, I'll step aside for a moment as door open to reveal the categories we're playing for in our debut. [CATEGORIES CUE]*open doors*  We have ENTERTAINMENT, SPELLING BEE, GOLF, WORLD GEOGRAPHY, and finally... SCRAMBLED EGGHEADS. *close doors*  Scrambled Eggheads is a visual category where you answer the correct word to unscramble. The rules of the game is you select a category and dollar amount. A single category is worth $100, a double category/pair is worth $200, and a triple is worth $400. The first player to reach $1,000 or more wins the game and the right to play the Face The Devil bonus round. Also on the wheels were jokers, they're wild (hence the name of this show). The contestants can match up the joker with any category they chose, and they can also use the joker(s) to go off the board, and select a different category. But if at anytime three jokers come up (that's Joker, Joker, JOKER!), that player can instantly win the game by answering one question from one category correctly; however, if unsuccessful, the opponent could not steal and the game continues as normal. Before the start of the show, we drew numbers backstage to decide who takes challenger seat #1. [DING] And Kevin will be going first. Whenever you're ready, pull that lever and spin those wheels. [SPINS WHEEL] Scrambled Eggheads... World Geography... Golf. A mixed bag of sorts. Kevin... please select a category. |
