No idea if this will become the end game or not, total experimentation here at this stage in time.
No catchy or flashy game boards or images yet either, just going to do this with plain old words.
The game board will be numbered from 1 - 8.
Each will have a total of three clues to help lead to the name of a person, place, thing, event, landmark, fictional character, etc.
The clues are random so sometimes a player may solve it with just one clue, sometimes they may need two or all three.
In this bonus game if a player can identify the subject with just one clue, they will win $500.
If they need two clues $375, and all three clues $250.
No penalty for an incorrect guess, but only one guess allowed after each clue is revealed.
If the player is stumped, they win $0 for that particular puzzle.
After 5 of the 8 puzzles are played, the player will then play one last puzzle for a chance to multiply their bank total by 5, 7 or 10.
Who would like to help me try this out? I already have my puzzles all written up and ready to go.

You'll play 4 more stumpers and try to build up that bank, then one final stumper to try to multiply your final bank total by as much as 10.
Select a number and again select A B or C please Jack.

Right after I said gin and tonic, an image entered my mind. It was of Bart Braverman answering a question on Match Game by saying "A bit of the bubbly, my dear?"
Is it champagne?
